I woke up this morning and as I was washing my face--the tooth was suddenly loose again.

So now I'm...stressing. Trying to figure out exactly what to do--I'm at work but can barely talk. The evening will be difficult. I'm going to try to get another emergency appointment at the same dentist (and if they're not available, another one in the plan), but would rather not have to make those phone calls while people can hear me. "Oooh, what's the MATTER? Oh, a CROWN fell out? How TERRIBLE." Nope, don't want to go there.

Needless to say, this complicates the weekend as well.

Naturally my appointment Monday with my regular dentist isn't until the afternoon--AFTER my class.

Geez, this is so stressful. I'm really hating my life right now.

I was able to sneak a call to the emergency dentist, hissing through my teeth, and they told me to come in at 11, though I still had to wait a WHILE, over an hour. But they were very nice about it and apologized. She reglued it, saying she was stunned it had even lasted that long. I asked if I could take with me or buy some of the cement she used--she said no but suggested Fix-o-Dent. I reserve judgment (since the other two over-the-counter adhesives didn't work at ALL) but we'll see. She said there might be pink stuff coming out the sides--I don't care about that as long as I don't look like a meth addict.

Just have to get through the rest of the day. Sunday will be a trial, if the tooth falls out again, because we have a runthrough *and* a production meeting afterward. We'll see.

I've been having thse mini-panic attacks this week, I'll just be seized with dread. It goes away after awhile but still. This. Sucks.

On the bright side--Tesse came by last night and made soup for me and it is SO GOOD. Thank you, Tesse! I'm losing weight because I haven't been able to eat anything much! And my paper is going well.

Fat Tuesday!

Remember to keep free Mardi Gras, which is coming up (March 8, a week from Tuesday).

I may be co-hosting it with my friend Charles this year. Further details as we hammer them out. But try to keep it free--sorry for the lateness.
