thankful i

i have a feeling not a lot of people are going to be cruisin' the ol' blog world this week since its thanksgiving and all. i think (in spite of how corny this sounds) i will write some posts over the next few days about some things that i think are cool and i am generally thankful for. dont expect any of it to be witty or thought provoking. i just think it might be good once in a while to take a break from whining about all the things that piss me off. so yeah.

im going to the dentist today. they are going to finish my root canal. the insane amount of pain i felt before finally breaking down and going to the dentist is unbelievable. really it was probably some of the worst pain i have ever felt. im not like some world champion fighter or anything and ive never had cancer so i dont have alot of room to talk about bad pain since i probably havent experienced all that much but for me this was horrible. im really thankful that my tooth doesnt hurt like that anymore and im thankful for all the days before that and all the days since that i have not had to feel that horrible agony in my mouth, the kind of feeling that has you up at 2:00 am googling "how to remove your own tooth." i think if i never had that i would just be going along in life ungrateful for the joy of a healthy and painless mouth. the first night i was able to sleep good again i felt like i had won the powerball. how many people get that pumped about a good night's sleep? the first day i was able to eat some good solid food again felt like i was having a dinner with the royal family or something. how many people get that excited over a hamburger or pizza? so yeah i am thankful for my new found dental health and for everyday i wake up pain-free and able to eat whatever i feel like. thanks dr. chun. youre the man.
