Phew. August has been... Busy. Most of my free time this month has been spent taking care of two things: email problems and being in the dentist's chair. The email trouble began when my email was hijacked by spammers, so I had to overhaul everything. That took a while. Then I had to go to the dentist for a cracked tooth, then one week later a filling fell out (not kidding... Got one thing fixed and another thing went wrong), and then I was able to get some cavities taken care of.
See, we finally got real dental insurance, but figuring it out and getting the steps right to file claims took a bit of work. What they didn't tell us was that you had to, after filing everything twice (once with each insurance company and waiting for responses), chant "Ookapele" and then take a left at the singing bush. But hey, six months later one dental procedure gets paid for. Well, some of it anyway.
In fact, yesterday I spent 90 minutes at the dentist before going to work for nearly ten hours. Luckily Sam, despite being very tired after a screwy day, was a very good girl and let me just sit there with my migraine and mouth pain when I got home. The worst part was that everyone yesterday had really good-looking food to eat, and I was stuck without the ability to chew, and when I could eat it was thin soup. I can't wait to chew again without pain. Tomorrow, I'm having a burger or a nice turkey sandwich. At which point another filling will probably fall out, with my luck.
In the meantime, how about this picture of Sam, from early in the morning when we were trying to get to work:
Sam also recently went to the Zoo to visit Tai Shan, the Panda born a few short hours before she was born. Unfortunately, it was so sunny that most of the photos didn't come out well. When I have some time I will try and run them through an editor to make them more viewable. Until then, enjoy these few snaps of Sam from the past few weeks...
