What We Take for Granted....

I’ve had a bad string lately. After the nasty (and still lingering) virus, I woke up yesterday with one of those sore throats that threatens to squeeze tears from the corners of your eyes every time you swallow. That’s turning into a nice cold. And last night I managed to crack a molar from crown to gum with a hairline crack, which is giving me little electric feelings whenever anything touches it, so I’m scheduled for emergency dental care this morning. (The latter doesn’t really hurt a lot now, but the dental assistant told me that I’d be writhing in agony soon if I didn’t get it fixed today.)
