The weather.....

 

Right now I am....
Laying in bed with my dogs

Thinking....
About a tooth that is broken and infected in my mouth. Its hard to think about anything else right now.  I've been in pain for days and I can't get in to see the dentist until May 7th. I honestly don't know how I'm going to make it.


On my reading pile....

Nothing right now. My entire head hurts so I can't even read.

On my TV.....
I just want quiet.

Blog hopping (newly discovered blog)....

Looking forward to this week....
I'm looking forward to May 7th
 
Looking around the house....
Right now I don't care too much. It's not going to fall down without my attention and I seem to need rest and sleep right now more than I need to get up and clean. My family will just have to understand for right now.
From the camera....
We got a new puppy before my tooth got messed up. She's actually not a bad puppy. She's laying next to me right now. He name is Sora it means sky or heaven in Japanese.
