New shingles, new root canal, no TV

 The roof is done. My root canal is done. Our only frustration is getting Shaw, bought out by Rogers, to realign the TV satellite. 

The roofers, Bruce Rogers, began on Wednesday. They arrived around 7:30, and we kept the cats in. 

Cinnamon was wondering who was on the roof: Butch Raccoon, squirrels?! 

I cleaned up the back deck with this. It has a magnet. There are lots of roofing nails that popped out. They cleaned most of it up the next day when they were done.

Our roofers came back Thursday, but the cats were out. We didn't see a cat all day. 

What a job this is. I kept offering water, anything. 

At 1:30 we took off for the dentist. I've never had a root canal. I hope never to have one again. Still on antibiotics, and Tylenol 3. 

The jay walkers really get to me. 

Can you see the back of this car? Don't park near them. 

Note to self: avoid highway #15. Flaggers and single lanes. It's a busy highway at best. People want to go 20km+ over the speed limit.

I made it. The technician was great. She actually held my hand. I have this mortal loathing of needles.

There was a co-op student, as well. He aspires to dentistry. The two of them spoke of computer games, and totally distracted me while the anesthetic took hold. I did have laughing gas. I look a little the worse for wear, but better days ahead!

Escorted to the waiting area, Joe Brian checked me out and drove me home. He'd done groceries while waiting the hour and a half. 

The cats greeted us upon our arrival home. They hadn't eaten all day, and were quite happy to get inside.

I had TLC, and Tylenol 3s. Vanilla pudding!  It is sore this morning, and will be. The cats are quite happy with the peace and quiet. I'm going back on the phone to try book something with Shaw Rogers TV Satellite.
