family while they were here.\u00a0 Actually Mary was the one who found it and I generally tend to shy away from most places in the port because they\\&#8217;re freaking expensive!\u00a0 Most table d\\&#8217;h\u00f4te\\&#8217;s START at $50.00 and go up from there as a general rule and a little too classy for me but this place was not only classy, but exceptionally affordable!\u00a0 When we went there, it was for lunch and I ordered off the days table d\\&#8217;h\u00f4te and had ceasear salad to start which was EXCEPTIONAL and simple fish and chips.\u00a0 I was in the mood and I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was!\u00a0 Best I had ever had, was light, flaky not greasy and best of all homemade!\u00a0 I truly meant it when I said my compliments to the Chef who was also kind enough to give me the ingredients to his ceaser dressing \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Anyway the whole point to that is I want to take John there for his birthday dinner.\u00a0 His birthday was on Monday but sadly i\\&#8217;m broke until Friday which sucks but c\\&#8217;est la vie.\u00a0 So Friday night its dinner and then a hansom cab ride since he\\&#8217;s never done the horse and carriage bit through the old port which is chesseily romantic and stupid expensice ($40.00\/ a half hour $60.00 for the full) and I was hoping to go out on Saturday because they have fireworks but he has to work Sunday morning so that\\&#8217;s a no go.\u00a0 Oh well can\\&#8217;t have it all.<\/p>\n<p>Which brings me to Monday morning hell starting at 2:30 am.\u00a0 My tooth that has been the baine of my exsistance FOREVER has finally gotten to the point that the pain is out of control!\u00a0 So John comes over on Sunday for dinner and all is fine and well, I was able to eat properly unlike last week which sent my tooth into dental rage.\u00a0 So I thought to myself I really need to have this thing removed because it was becomming so problematic but I was impressed that it was being so good to me.\u00a0 Well 2:30am Monday rolls along and I woke up to the upmost crushing pain I think I have EVER had!\u00a0 I\\&#8217;m a tooth grinder more often then not and I think that angered the tooth Gods.<\/p>\n<p>NOTHING helped to ease the pain, I totally over dosed on Advil, I was to the point I was eating it by the handful.\u00a0 I think I *might* have consumed oh I dunno 30 pills which did NOTHING to ease the pain other then make me sick until about 6am.\u00a0 Oragel didn\\&#8217;t do anything but make it worse, mouthwash offered about 5 minutes of relief and so did gnawing on a cold washcloth.\u00a0 I couldn\\&#8217;t lie down because that only made it worse, I couldn\\&#8217;t sleep and it took EVERY once of common sense I had left *NOT* to take my pliers and pull the damn thing out myself!\u00a0 FINALLY around 6:30 or so after being epically nauseous the pain subsided enough so that I could sleep.\u00a0 I woke up at 8:36am which is when I\\&#8217;m \\&#8221;supposed\\&#8221; to catch my bus into work\u00a0 but I was so dizzy and nauseous to the point that I couldn\\&#8217;t make it out of bed for more then 5 minutes and said screw it and called in sick at 9:30am when I start at 9am.\u00a0 Ended up sleeping on and off\u00a0 all\u00a0 day instead of trying to locate a dentist like I should have or dragging myself to the ER but I lacked the strength required to do so.<\/p>\n<p>So Tuesday as in this morning I get to work and Donna tells me that I am to park my ass in a chair and find a dentist to pull my tooth out today.\u00a0 Thankfully there was a few cancellations at my regular dentist (not with the useless DR.) and I was able to see him at noon.\u00a0 I\\&#8217;ll spare you the details of getting 2 teeth yanked out.\u00a0 Well really it was only one in theory the other was just residual roots but THEY\\&#8221;RE GONE!\u00a0 He looked at my other tooth that Dr. Regina Bastos was supposed to be \\&#8221;taking care of\\&#8221; and declared that a waste of time and money and not worth saving so I was pretty pissed about that.\u00a0 Evidently she\\&#8217;s nothing more then a money hungry bitch whereas this other Dr. was at least honest and really really nice!\u00a0 MUCH nicer then her and FAR more competent then she\\&#8217;ll EVER be!\u00a0 Not to mention strong, Christ it felt like he was going to take my head off when he was pulling out the problem child tooth.\u00a0 Anyway so now I have a wad of gauze shoved in my mouth to help soak up the blood, which is making me gag!\u00a0 It also sucks when I have to change it because it doesn\\&#8217;t hurt until I have to put a new wad in there but at least it should heal properly.\u00a0 He put in stitches to help close up the major hole in my gum\\&#8217;s so I have to bite down on the gauze so that it puts pressure past the stitches which sucks but the pain is minor in comparison to\u00a0 the absolute sheer hell I have endured on and off for the past 2 years!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UGH, again the whole no good deed goes un-punished would apply to me&#8230;\u00a0 Krystal\\&#8217;s friend is getting married and I\\&#8217;m making her veil for her to give to her friend as a gift, fair enough.\u00a0 I like doing crafty things as such so on Sunday I headed off to fabricville to get the supplies I [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9,10,22,12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-194","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-epic-fail","category-geographically-challenged-moments","category-random-rant","category-tmi"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/modologyworld.net\/steph\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/194","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/modologyworld.net\/steph\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/modologyworld.net\/steph\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/modologyworld.net\/steph\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/modologyworld.net\/steph\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=194"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/modologyworld.net\/steph\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/194\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/modologyworld.net\/steph\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=194"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/modologyworld.net\/steph\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=194"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/modologyworld.net\/steph\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=194"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
