All gone away

Alanmas began on Friday.
He arrived safely and only slightly rumpled.
As usual, he seemed very pleased to be here....despite the snow.

Donna and I had been busy changing her room over for Alan. Friday night she slept in the other spare room (Lauren's Room) with Lauren.
Saturday she and Lauren left to go home.
I really didn't want them to go this time.  I never do want them to go but this time seemed tougher than ever.
Lauren said she wants to come back in April.  We shall see.
We took them to the airport but it was very sad.   Donna also really didn't want to go.
Sigh..........

Oh last Thursday's oral surgery was postponed because the surgeon was poorly.
It is meant to be taking place this Thursday morning.
Today I had the root canal finished off and it hurts like buggery.  I am currently sipping a glass of brandy.
There is concern that the pain I get on the other side of my gob may not be root tips that were left behind but a type of neuralgia, or TMJ, which is a nerve and jaw issue.
So, my dentist who started all this surgery thing off by sending me to the specialist, is now getting twitchy about it being done.  He said today that he doesn't want him to go 'digging around' in there if it is TMJ.
Sigh...................
All of this will cost me mega bucks as well as hurting like buggery.

Alan seems to be enjoying himself.  He helped us take down all the Christmas decorations, ornaments, tree......etc, on Sunday.
It took all day.  If he hadn't been here it would have taken three days.
I said I thought we should go away for Christmas next year instead of doing all this stuff but I didn't really mean it.
It wouldn't be the same if our house didn't look like Santa's Grotto.
We couldn't take down the outside decorations, reindeer, santa, various trees, sleigh, various snow men, street lamps .....etc as they are frozen into the ground.
They can wait until things thaw out a bit.......probably around June :)
