So, my fever is gone and my sore throat has mostly gone away (*knock* on wood) but my teeth and gums still hurt. Which I suppose I can survive...well at least function. I'm trying to figure out how I'm gonna get my teeth fixed so that I can start eating again, but I don't have insurance and can't afford it. I know, I know...bad planning...or lack there of. I did find a clinic that can do it...for cheaper than a regular dentist office...but I can't get in until Friday Sept. 7...which seems like forever when my mouth hurts this bad and I can't eat real food. Not to mention that would just be a "check-up" appointment that is required by the clinic, then I will have to make another appointment to fix whatever is wrong with me...hopefully without too long of a wait. I'm not sure I can make it, but I also don't think I have any other choice.
This has been a really crazy weekend. Thursday J got a call from a breeder he had been speaking to 3 or 4 months ago. We were going to go look at a puppy of his (with no real intention of buying) back then, but when we called the breeder said he just sold the last female 2 hours previously. Then on thursday he called to tell J that a buyer backed out last minute and J has first chance at getting her, so Friday we went to see her. She was discounted for us (and b/c she is older now, I think) and much more affordable - and so we brought her home, and her name is Sugar. Sug (shoog) for short. She is very sweet and calm, and listens really well. She is a yellow lab, and for all of you who have read the book or watched the movie - yes, we bought the "clearance puppy"! And actually we stopped at Blockbuster to return some movies and a big Marley & Me poster was in the window and M said :"Is that a picture of Sugar?" - I hope not! Saturday was the last 50 cen...
