Emotion Ocean, and we're talking high seas!

My emotions have been crazy the past couple of days.  I've been really down in the dumps, with no particular cause. 

Tuesday afternoon I was feeling teary and sad and decided to indulge in a little retail therapy.  Which I figured was better than eating.  I went to Goodwill to check out their holiday stuff, looking for little bits that mom and I could use to make some ornaments.  Cause I like to get my craft on from time to time.  That was a no go, but I did find a holiday fleece top with penguins for $1.25 and a pair of Chico's slacks in the style I like in a color I don't have (a kinda khaki color) for $2.  So I spent less than $4 and got a top that I can wear up in NC while we're up there and pants for work.  Not too bad.

Yesterday I went to the dentist so she could "try on" my permanent crowns and see how they look.  I was there for over 3 hours.  It was very frustrating.  She did get them adjusted so they fit, but they really don't look quite right.  It's maybe a matter of millimeters here and there, but when you have to live with your smile for the rest of your life and spent roughly $17,000, you want it to look right.  And right now it doesn't.  So the crowns went back to the lab for tweaking, and then we'll do another test fit.  I am supposed to get them "installed" Jan 7, but if they aren't right, I'll need another appointment.  Le sigh.

All in all, a teary couple of  days.

Part of it is the heat.  Please don't a) laugh or b) be jealous.  Where I am living right now the a/c isn't on, it's in the mid 80s, and the himidity is in the 90s.  It's too hot in the house to wear my "winter" clothes in to the office (although it's cold at work), and the humidity means my bangs look like Shirley Temple stuck her finger in an electric socket (frizz city!) moments after walking in the door.  This morning I resorted to using the curling iron to straighten them, and burned my forehead.  Again with the le sigh.

Again, there's loads of good stuff - looks like we'll be in NC for 2 weeks, hub has a promising lead on a job opportunity, and this Saturday we are faced with a nearly whole day (after his 9:30 dental appt) with nothing to do but go have fun somewhere.  Oh, and my Christmas cards are nearly done!  Woot!

I have a busy morning so no idea when I will get a workout in - this afternoon I hope. Worst case scenario I walk this evening and double up tomorrow - kettlebells AND Jillian Michaels.

Anyway, just needed to vent a bit.  I hate it when I feel like my emotions are driving the bus and I'm just a passenger trying to get off!!!

Have a good one!
