Good times!!

Let the good times roll!

Hi to all, how are you!? 'Tis the season for joy and good cheer! Last I wrote you all about my tooth situation was almost two weeks ago, when I first found out about it - a lot has happened since then, mostly bad! I've had approx. 5 dentist appts since then, all involving pain and tears and operations - a long and unhappy process. Trying to spare you gory details, the cavity has been removed and I was told that I need a post and cap: you know, those shiny silver things in the mouths of old people! Aside from being ugly and painful, this is going to be ridiculously expensive and so I have been quite stressed out over the whole thing... until today!!

It's hard for you all to get as excited as I am over a dentist, I know! But with my history and all, attaching a happy story to the word dentist is a miracle! A co-teacher recommended me her dentist as a second opinion in the whole thing, so I went and was given an early Chrismanukah miracle :o) Not only is this man nicer and smarter but his technology is so much more modern and advanced (believe me, that's a big deal when you're in a foreign country!) and CHEAPER! I don't even have to get a cap put on my tooth, just a ceramic filling so my tooth will be white and strong and normal! The whole thing takes an hour and is pain-free :o) If you're really bored then you can check this out: http://www.cerec.net/forum/index.php?act=portal&site=5
So all in all, I'm one happy girl!

My week has been awesome, I've picked up a few more hours of teaching $$ and I did not completely suck at bowling on Wednesday! Chinese class is getting better and better each week, and every weekend this month I am booked for some serious holiday fun! I hope you are all enjoying this time of year as much as I am!
Love always
