Good news and Bad news
Hey guess what! I booked my flight to Orange County yesterday. That's right. I'm going to California! We're flying out of Chicago (I don't really know how I'm getting there yet) and arriving in LA. We're going to be picked up by the limo and taken to the Hilton Costa Mesa. We're going to stay in some suite or another. I forget.
Yesterday, I realized that I needed to go to the dentist. So I called the office and made an appointment for that same day. After work, I buzzed over there and had my teeth cleaned. I also found out that it's going to cost me a lot of money for all the work I need to have done. $1079 to be exact. Quick ask me why it's so much. Because two cavities that need to be filled are close to the front of my mouth (not really, but sort of), So when I smile you might be able to see silver if I had the normal stuff put in there. I don't want that, I want the white so my teeth look normal. It costs $190 per cavity and insurance won't cover it. It's "cosmetic". My actual thought while driving home was "I hope I get into a car accident and die so I don't have to pay".
So I spent last night alternating between really happy about vacation and crying my little heart out because I have to take out a small loan to pay the dentist.
