Bad Timing

Today is Thanksgiving Day in the US. It is a day we all get together with family as long as we are allowed, and just eat ourselves silly.

However, I got a crumb of something caught under the top set of my dentures yesterday and it rubbed a blister on my gum and it makes chewing kinda painful. :(

So, in a few hours, I'll probably be eating A LOT of mashed potatoes.

Lousy timing. :(

Itโ€™s funny how things seem to happen around the holidays๐Ÿคจ. My hot water heater went out Tuesday morning and fortunately I got someone out that day and they replaced it yesterday. Every year about this time of year I hold my breath that something will stop working in the house. I think I replaced all my appliances during the months of November through January. Itโ€™s a running joke that something will happen around the holidays๐Ÿ˜€. Weโ€™ll try to enjoy your holidays.

Mash some carrot with the potato and cover it with gravy, it will go down a treat ๐Ÿ˜‹

Thanksgiving is already the day I'm faced with forbidden things, ice cream is one of those, (as is the Margarita I never got). I could maybe make some Jello tomorrow. Oradell is the name of the numbing stuff. I have a little and have been using it. I really, really need to get into my dentist. I haven't seen him in over 2 years. My gums have shrunk so my dentures no longer fit snuggly thus the blister.

Sorry to hear that! But if you look deep down you might find a blessing... you won't be able to overeat, as you can only eat so many mashed potatoes before you get sick...,
