Last week I was in terrible pain again! My mouth what am I supposed to do? Feel like all my teeth want to come out. Why? So again went to the dentist. I told the lady “I bet you see me on the schedule and think: Oh no not her again.” I chuckled. She said oh no that’s not what we think or I think. I think oh no! I hope it’s nothing serious. We chuckled about it. We have that Life 360 app where it tracks where someone goes in the car. It says that I have been to the dentist 20 times this year! Crazy!

My lower tooth was hurting really badly. I was very frustrated and cried a little because I am so frustrated with my teeth. What the hell is going on?! I saw the dentist and I thought he was going to be like I said before. “Oh no not her.” But he wasn’t like that. I don’t know why I think the worse of people. I told him which tooth hurt really badly. He said he couldn’t find anything wrong with that one. I was thinking oh no not again! Will he help me or not? Because that is how this all started my other dentist wouldn’t help me. So I found this dentist. But I was wrong which is good. He took an x-ray and showed me that nothing is wrong with the tooth but if I wanted it out, he would take it out. But he rather I kept it. Then he asked do you grind or clench your teeth at night? *Sigh* Yes I clench my teeth at night not all nights but yes some nights. He said he could tell. His plan was to keep the tooth but make adjustments so it wouldn’t hit my upper teeth. Which they grind it down a little, I have had that done before. It’s no big deal. He suggested a nightguard and I finally gave in to getting one. I thought it was going to be really expensive but no. It was only $50 dollars. Awesome!

That night after seeing the dentist a little bump came out. I freaked out a little bit because it was hard and I didn’t know what it was. Also, that’s the place it hurt before and then. Last Friday I went back and told him where the spot was. He felt and was like that’s part of you. It’s part of your jaw. Sometimes the bone will protrude out and have a bump. They are usually harmless but I can give you two options. Option one is I cut open your gums, shave off the bone, and put in some stitches that should take care of it. Option two I give you lidocaine and you put that on before every meal. Hmmm, which option do you think I choose?

Option 2! I told him that sounded scary option one. He was like really? I am like yes! So scary! I don’t want to do that. So I got my night guard. I only have seven teeth on top. I tried the over-the-counter mouth guard and I couldn’t get it molded. I am glad I went with the dentist one. Look how small it is. Lol!

It looks blue in the pic but it’s actually purple. I thought I was going to hate it but I actually like it. Now I don’t wake up with a sore jaw from clenching all night. Also, lidocaine tastes like fruit punch. LOL! It smells like fruit punch too. It’s weird. But it’s been helping with that nub in my jaw. So I hope it all gets better. I rather save teeth than take them out if possible.

I made this sweet treat wreath. It was easier than the Owl wreath. I have to say I do like the owl one better but I like this one. It had more tiny pieces with it. I like that this wreath is sparkly. I added the extra flair all around because I mean they give you extra sequins and pearls. Why not use them.

This is a week off. Yay! We took out our ancient air conditioner and still have to patch the hole inside the house. We did do the outside though. We want another mini-split for the rest of the house.

Our fur baby has been sick! We are not sure how he got it but he got an infection in his lung. I had to somehow collect his pee. That was really hard to do but I did it. They wanted to check for Blastomycosis which we hadn’t heard of before. It’s an infection that affects the lungs and then goes to the brain. Fatal. Was at first worried about that but he didn’t have any of the symptoms. I was worried because he was coughing what sounded like an Asthma cough. They did take a chest x-ray and found a little infection.

We did find out that he doesn’t have Blastomycosis which YAY! He is taking Doxycycline for his infection and has been getting better. Well, I should say a lot better. He has been his normal self again. He has been taking his meds for a little over a week. We are so happy our Tex is feeling better.

What a last week and weekend! So we have come to a point of do we put more money into our truck or get a new to us truck. I hate looking at vehicles to buy. I hate going to someone else’s house and looking at the vehicle. I don’t know I hate all of it. Anyways I will stop complaining. lol! Decided to go and look at other trucks and sell ours. We have a 2003 Dodge Ram. Jeff really wanted a truck that had no salt on it. Since we live in WI, it gets salty out here in the winter. Rust-oh-rama which our Ram doesn’t have a lot of rust. Mostly on the corner of the door. But anyway….he looked at one in IL. And I liked that one but wasn’t sure. Then he found one in Iowa. UGH IOWA! I didn’t want to drive to Iowa.

After considering the Iowa truck. Jeff found out he couldn’t work on that truck as it would be hard to do. Don’t ask what kind of truck it was, I can’t remember. There were so many trucks he looked at. Hahaha!

There was a Truck in MI that he liked. Jeff said he wanted a truck an old man owns because they take care of vehicles which is so true! This truck was about three hour’s drive from our home. We decided to go look at a 2009 Chevy Silverado. Jeff said he has never owned a Chevy. This Chevy was owned by an old man. LOL! We went there and he kept that truck in a barn under blankets. He told us he only put 10,000 miles on it and would never drive it in the winter. He took really good care of this truck and he was the second owner.

This guy was named Tom and he was super nice! He loved to talk too which is fine by us. Also had a cute black lab who was three. He was so cool. We took the truck on a drive and I was thinking this is the one. We bought the truck and drove back to WI.

Then on Saturday got a good deal off of FB Marketplace for new tire rims. Had to drive to Appleton which is a bit further away from us to go and get them. So many hours in the car.

I did it! I did a Conqueror virtual race of 20 miles. I have to say I will do more races these medals are super awesome!

I finally got it done! My owl wreath turned out awesome. I didn’t follow the picture. I arranged it how I wanted it.

Sunday was Mother’s Day. I have to admit I wasn’t really looking forward to it even though I made an extra effort this year. Jeff and I went to Aldi’s and bought all the ladies’ tulips. They were five dollars can’t go wrong with that. Jeff also made chicken and brats for the main dish which was yum!

Kim came can you believe it?! She actually was nice on Sunday. That’s strange. Dad said she is trying to make up for what happened last year. Took her long enough for her to be nice to anyone really. Of course, they left early which was fine with the rest of us.

I stayed and slept over. I hung out with my parents all day on Monday. It was cool to do so. They can be silly. Mom and I went to discount stores all over Green Bay. That was fun. Then later Jeff came and we all went out to eat. They were glad that I wanted to hang out with them. My dad said it many times while I was there. That makes me happy.

So much PAIN! Sunday I was in pain then Monday I was in more pain, Tuesday I was crying I was in so much pain! I had a huge toothache like I have never had! That is saying something to me. I couldn’t do anything on Tuesday because was in so much pain! No over-the-counter pills worked. My jaw was in the most pain. My head felt like it was in a vice! The biggest headache I have had in a long time. Even my eyes and nose hurt.

Thankfully the dentist could see me on Tuesday. When I got there I told him how I haven’t slept in 2 days and I am in the worst pain ever! He was so nice about it too. I begged him please, please take it out and he was like okay. He had some other patients that day he had to take care of first. So after he saw me, Jeff and I bumped around Green Bay for about an hour then I went back. He asked if I wanted to see him on Friday and I take pain pills and antibiotics. I told him no. Please I need to not be in this amount of pain. So that’s why I came back.

When I came back I asked if I could see the tooth he is about to pull. He was like sure! You can even have it. I was surprised by that answer. Because usually I do get to keep it but last time in 2020 the last dentist said I couldn’t even have it or see it because it was hazardous material. Which I didn’t understand because it was just in my mouth. Be warned I am going to post my tooth. lol! I think it’s cool to see. Of course, I won’t keep it. I like to look at it and then throw it away. I told Jeff damn I should have kept them all and made a bracelet. I was joking of course! ROFL!

I find it fascinating to see the tooth. This one had a root canal in it. I was wondering if it would break and it didn’t so that was good. This is also the last root canal tooth in my mouth.

He asked after the tooth was pulled if I wanted to be numb for longer so if I wanted to go sleep it wouldn’t hurt and I would have been taking some over-the-counter meds to help with the swelling. I said yes and now I wish I said no. Instead of being numb for longer, the only thing that was numb for a long time was my lips. My tongue and jaw became un-numb at first. It was a strange feeling.

My dentist is a rockstar! I thought that I could get an implant this year but found out I couldn’t even though I had already started the process. I was stuck paying for what I had done out of pocket. Which was doable with our flex spend we get from insurance every year. But still sucked though.

He told me that he felt bad. That if he would have known he wouldn’t have pushed it to get it done. I told him it was my fault and I should have checked further with insurance. Because my partial counts and taking care of the problem. He said still he felt bad about it and that he was going to give me a good faith discount. I only had to pay half of what I owed! LIKE DAMN MY DENTIST IS A ROCKSTAR! I have never had that in a dentist before.

If anyone who lives in WI and needs a dentist. Check out Titletown dental in Green Bay. They are amazing people. The dentist is a rockstar!

I have been giving YouTube a go. So far so good. I know I will not have a lot of subscribers or make money but I am having fun doing it. I review movies, give facts, and goof on the movies. I think that is more fun than saying if a movie is good or bad. Actually, April started it. She is doing a YouTube channel all about Disney. Her channel is called All about the magic. Except I know I told her that she should have a dedicated youtube link for it but she has been using her old one where she showed her lessons on horses. Which makes her channel mixed. I think it’s strange but it’s her channel.

My channel is called Roolikes2Review. It used to be called Roosreviews but I found out that it actually channels on magic. So I had to change it. I went with Roo because of my childhood nickname. I think it’s cute. April 20th was April’s birthday. I decided to make a review for her. I went with the movie Clue. I have great memories of her and me watching this movie together. Get this we watched it on VHS. Crazy.

I actually had a lot of fun doing this review. So many facts on it and it was fun to learn about this movie that I love watching. Also, I want to add I have been getting better at making videos. My first review I know it’s not great but I can see the progression and it’s awesome!

Yesterday was Easter. It was fun. My mom hid plastic Easter eggs around her house. There were three little kids who were playing. Mom had an egg with quarters in it. It was fun to watch them trying to find them. We had good food and some of my aunts and uncles were there. It was a pleasant visit.

Last Thursday I had to go to the dentist because where they put the screw was puffy. But he said it looks good now, a week later. Okay here is something dumb. Because I got my partial denture last year, I can’t get implants this year until 2026. Isn’t that so dumb?! That is what my insurance said. So now I have to pay out of pocket for what I have done this year. If I would have known that I wouldn’t have gotten my partial last year. Dental implants are way better. My insurance claims that having my partial is efficient enough. Lame!

I saw my dad at the dentist. He was coming out and I was going in. What are the odds? I thought that was funny.

On Thursday I had my stitches taken out. I have to go see the dentist next week. For some reason, my gums bloated up and they are starting to go over my screw. Not good! My dentist was actually worried. Gave me some prescription mouthwash to try. If that doesn’t do the trick, he says he will give me antibiotics to see if it will calm down. The best part of it is this all free to me. It’s all included in the price of getting an implant. Well except for the prescriptions but still that’s pretty cool.

My dad goes to the same dentist. I have been telling my dad since February that the dentist I see now is great! Everyone who works there is so nice and he should go. But he said that he liked his dentist. Then we got to talking about Bay Care in Green Bay. How you have to see your dentist then go there to get work done. It’s back and forth and costs so much money. For example at Bay Care when I got my tooth pulled in 2020 it costs me 200 out of pocket. At the dentist I go to now it was only 20 dollars out of the pocket of course with my insurance but still! Also, no going back and forth. He does it right there.

Finally, my dad went to see my dentist. He was so pleased! He said they took x-rays and explained everything in a lot of detail. Unfortunately, my dad needed 4 teeth pulled but were happy to finally find the problem with his teeth. He is doing good after the pull and happy with the dentist. Like I said he would be. lol!

So this happened:

What a mess! This pod exploded inside the machine and upward. Took a bit to clean it then the machine didn’t work anymore. Not all the pod’s fault though. It wasn’t working right for about a month. What a crap machine! This is the third one. Never ever buy this even on sale on Amazon. It’s garbage.

I got this machine. Now I was leary of buying another Keurig because of the problems they usually have. But I thought why not give it another chance. I got the Keurig slim.

Also, Jeff got me a box of pods and blueberry pods with it. He’s so sweet!

I finished these two cross stitches.

I decided I am going to decorate the wall on my side of the bedroom with all cross stitch projects. I am going to make a collage!

Here is the start of it!

Monday I started the process of a dental implant.

Right there. I want to take pics to see the progression of my teeth building. In three months I will have a new tooth there. I can’t wait!

Happy Birthday

March 17 was my birthday! I am 39! I had a great birthday. Monday I went to the dentist then went to see my parents. We went to a Mexican restaurant near their house because I wanted to eat a yummy taco salad. They gave me money and this really cute rug.

I got 40 pods of any coffee of my choosing from crazycups.com and that’s my birthday gift from Jeff! Best gift!

Then on Friday, we went to see Ken and Mileena. My birthday is the 17th, Mileena’s birthday is the 18th, and Ken’s birthday is the 19th. Birthday extravaganza! I got an Amazon gift card which is as good as actual money!
