I was going to say it's been a long and busy week, but, in actuality, it's flown by. So, I guess it's been a short and busy week. We've been working on getting everything ready for my family's visit and Thanksgiving next week. Mr Moo has been working on the house. He's been doing things like patching miscellaneous wall holes and the ceiling downstairs where we had the leak, painting, hanging curtain rods, etc. I've been cleaning, organizing, cleaning, shopping, cleaning. Repeat ad nauseum. Highlights of the week include:

Tuesday - I visited the dentist to have a "filling" replaced. It's not a true filling in the sense that there was no cavity involved. Several years ago, I had graft surgery on four of my teeth where my gum had receded excessively. The graft didn't take on one tooth so the dentist covered up the exposed area with some of the composite material used for fillings to cut down on the pain I was having and to prevent a cavity from forming. I don't know if it broke, chipped or what happened to it, but a ridge formed on it and it was driving me mad. The tooth was also starting to get super sensitive again and I could tell that food was getting stuck in there. It was time to have it redone. As per usual, he had to give me extra Novocaine (still haven't sorted why I need so freaking much every time), which numbed up half my head, gave me the shakes something awful and made me feel like crap for the rest of the day. It's two days later and my gum is still hurting from being jabbed with the needle so much. On the bright side, the tooth looks great and it's not hurting me anymore.

Wednesday - I headed out for "just a couple hours" to run some errands. It ended up taking nearly six. Yeesh. While I was out, I made a perfectly legal left turn on a green arrow. I signaled. I checked the other lanes before getting over. For the life of me, I can't figure out what I might have done wrong. A guy in a silver car came zooming up behind and went all road rage-y on me anyway. He got within inches of my bumper and actually followed me into the parking lot of the store I was going to. I pulled into a parking spot close to the door where there were lots of people walking around. He stopped in the lane behind my car and was screaming something, but I wasn't about to get out to find out what. I locked the door and started making plans to drive to the nearest police station. He stomped on the gas and appeared to be driving away. I was about to get out when I noticed he had driven around in a circle was pulling up behind me again. What the frell? Just as I was putting the key back into the ignition to get the heck out of there, he drove away for good this time. Freak. After doing my shopping very quickly, I made sure he wasn't still waiting for me, got safely back to my car and went on to my next destination, where I called Mr Moo to tell him what had happened. He was on his way home from work and drove to where I was to make sure I was okay. I could tell he was hoping to guy would show up again so he could kill him or something. He was mad. He wanted to follow and stay with me, but since I only had one more place to stop (a very busy grocery store with a well-lit parking lot), I told him to go home. I assured him I would drive straight to the police station if I caught even a glimpse of the guy again, which, fortunately, didn't happen. What a crazy evening.
