Starting off on a furious note. Facebook really needs to stop shoving the news in our faces. Reading that a teacher was put on PAID LEAVE after a video that clearly shows her beating a student over the head – though I don’t know what the student might’ve said or did – is infuriating. She gets a paid vacation (no jail) yet no one paid me to speak my mind to the freeloaders. Oh no, I was the one to pay instead. 

Facebook recommends people we may know, and there’s a seemingly empty account in Tom’s name. There is a profile pic of a young guy. I sent a message saying, “Bet I can guess who’s behind this account.” Sure enough, no reply. 

Kim? Aly? 

Had a little fun with Polly and Ruth. I wasn’t going to write about it, but hey, I didn’t break any laws. Just pissed them off, no doubt. I know that’s the way it should’ve been with the freeloaders, but I’m also a lot smarter than I was in 1999. I won’t let anyone fuck with me. I did what I did, was quick about it, and now I’m gone. In like a fierce wind and out like a calm breeze. 

I didn’t do anything all that extravagant. I just messaged them and a few others related to them, possibly Polly’s sons and I guess her daughter. Then I added one son and later saw the ‘add friend’ button disappear, knowing he’d prevented me from sending additional requests. I also shared a pic of Polly’s and she responded by going private. 

Ruth and Polly both seem to work for the PTA in CT where Polly lives, and I not only sent an email to each one there, but I replied to a comment of Polly’s in a group she had some guy create for her pertaining to the school. I was blocked from that group. Lastly, I tweeted to her daughter who has a protected Twitter account. 

Pretty sure the daughter got the tweet because her “likes” are going up. But why didn’t she block me there, and why didn’t Polly and her sons block me on Facebook? Hoping to gather more “evidence?” Well, that they’re not going to get. :) 

As usual, I got absolutely nothing from Tammy about my dentist appointment today despite my taking the time to ask about her appointments, even if she’s going through more serious stuff than I am. 

Today’s appointment was rough, but a lot shorter than the last one. The permanent crown is now in place. I forgot that Shannon doesn’t work Fridays. Jackie does. So she’s the one that assisted the dentist. 

We chatted with Kathleen in the waiting room. She’s so nice, too. They loved my sparkly dress and shoes. Yeah, I’m the color and shine fanatic alright. 

She gave us a $10 Subway card since they were a little late. 

So Jackie took me in back and said to let her know if I felt any discomfort as she gently began tugging on my temporary crown. Oh, I let her know alright. The doctor numbed me up, which hurt like hell at first as the needle went in because I was already irritated. I told them I’d been having pain ever since the temp cap went on and they said this was normal and that the permanent one would seal better. I figured and hoped as much, though there is still a chance I may need a root canal at which time I would probably ask the doctor to just pull it since it’s way in back. She said she’s not ready to give up hope yet, so we should give it a week. Jackie said one can feel discomfort 4 weeks after any dental procedure. I’m as hopeful as the doctor, though. As it is, I’m not in as much pain right now as I expected to be. 

It didn’t tickle as the doc installed the permanent crown, but it only took a few seconds and then that was it. All Jackie had to do was clean up excess cement and check my bite and I was good to go. 

It was cold in there, as the doctor agreed, and she was kind enough to cover me with a blanket. I told her I’d only won once since I last saw her (the expensive facial serum I’m not very impressed with) and she told me that was way more than she’d ever win, haha. She then told me it was ok to floss around that tooth and that I could eat right away, and wished me a good weekend. 

I’m not big on Subway, though I’d probably like a couple of their grinders that include beef. But I was sore and I have labs coming up in a few weeks so I’m trying to avoid cholesterol. I just got a double chocolate chip cookie and some chips with a fruity drink. Not very healthy, but I wasn’t in the mood to care. 

I shopped more than I ate. We went treasure hunting at Goodwill. It’s funny… we can easily afford expensive stores that sell brand new stuff, which we do go to, but there’s just something about being surprised with old treasures at Goodwill that we love. You go into Target or something, you pretty much know what you’re in for. You go to GW, and you just never know. 

I got a Dalmatian figurine very similar to the one I got from them not too long ago. It’s similar in size only it’s lighter in weight and its spots are lighter in color. 

Then I got a miniature doll in hot pink (my fave) and a couple of porcelain dolls, only one isn’t for adding to my collection. I wanted to scalp her. Sounds scary, I know, LOL. I have a GW doll with a nice face but crappy hair. So I yanked the nice blond braids off of this pitifully phony, ugly and clownish 1989 Heritage Mint Collection doll and gave it to her. I love restoring and “modernizing” old dolls. I kept her dress, even though it’s a bit old-fashioned for my tastes. 

The other doll is in a sitting position and has a fantastic face. Very nice smile and realistic eyes. She wears a cute pale pink dress. Good wig, too. 

Tom loves to browse the electronics section but he didn’t find anything he wanted. 

We bombed the place before leaving and aired it out for a while when we got back. I waited in the driveway with the rats because the smell Tom claimed was “not bad” was rather overpowering at first. 

It was a beautiful day out. The front of our place looks gorgeous right now with the multicolored azaleas in bloom. It’s supposed to cool down and rain again, though. 

Naturally, the peace was tarnished a bit by the corner guy’s hammering and workers doing something at Dusty’s place. I think they were going under the house to look for water leaks. 

Waved at one of the new ladies who recently moved in, but we haven’t officially met or talked yet. 

Then, between my appointment, the ibuprofen I’d taken, and getting up early so many days in a row, I took a 2.5-hour much-needed nap. It felt so good, too. :) 

We decided I wouldn’t bother trying to hold my schedule anymore. I’m going to just “roll with the punches” as usual. Besides, I need to be up during the nighttime at times so I can really enjoy the peace. 

Last night I dreamed I was showing Tammy my fake ear canal and the thing kept opening and closing while I was at it. 

Then, when I got thrown in jail, this time there was a beautiful warden who seemed to really like me. She took me out to some dinner function or something like that one night, and I said I hoped she’d look me up on Facebook in a few months when I got released.
