I called the dentist first thing Monday morning and yes I have an abscessed tooth. He gave me some antibiotics and set a root canal appointment for Thursday morning. Woo Hoo - hear the sarcasm in my woo hoo. ;-)
After two days of constant pill popping, I feel a bit better. I have a dull ache on my tooth and am looking forward to tomorrow. I'm disappointed that I have not started walking soooo....
Today I decided I had to get out there. I grabbed the retractable dog leash and thought I just need to get out and walk about for 30 minutes. Would you believe that after 2 minutes and 42 seconds I checked my watch to see how much more time I had. No lie.
'It's a mind game,' I told myself. "I have nothing planned for the next half hour so I might as well walk." I pictured a general idea of where I will walk that will take up 30 minutes.
Everything is snow covered. Finding a pathway off the street onto a sidewalk is a bit of a challenge. But the Porthos and I weave among the snow piles, the narrowly shoveled paths and across icy streets. I check my time, OK 11 minutes go by. Up this street, down that street. 20 minutes go by. Woo Hoo I'm on the home stretch. Heading home now should take 10 minutes. Sure enough I'm home and it's 29 minutes and 52 seconds. Close enough.
Not bad for my first day out. I just wish it was running.
