At the Dentist

I went back to Illinois this past weekend to have some work done a filling. The dentist who worked on me the first time PLAINLY wrote in my file that I have a slow reaction to Novocain.

Slow reaction should probably be rewritten as: Please have patient come in to office 1 hour prior to any procedure so that Novocain can work.

The dentist shot me up with about 6 shots of the stuff at 11:30am and I ended up looking like Mary Jo Buttafuoco until about 5pm, Saturday. I had absolutely NO control of the left side of my mouth. I am glad it wasn't permanent.

Gettting It Together

I am in the process of writing a business plan. I have met with all the right people and feel confident that I can get "Driftless Moon" off the ground. What you ask is "Driftless Moon?"
Well, I will be opening a retail art gallery for local artists that is combined with a wine bar. I am so excited and think that a March opening date is not out of the question.
In the meantime, I am depending my organizational and interior rearranging talent to pay my bills. I am contracted for 20 hours at one house next week and hope to add more clients to the list through referrals. I love that people will pay me for my opinions.
Wish me luck.

I love to Camp

I went camping this past weekend with some friends from Minnesota. We stayed at Wyolusing State Park, WI. It was jsut a perfect weekend for sitting around the fire and watching the stars pop out. In the mornings, the Mississippi River Valley and Wisconsin River Valley were both filled with fog. The ridge upon which we camped sat above it like Cloud City...just an amazing feeling of floating.

I am planning to go camping again this weekend. Hope the weather is just as beautiful.

And, by the way. I am just fine and feeling quite wonderful, today.
