looking a clothes horse in the mouth

two unrelated things tied by a clever title:

I had my followup dentist's appointment today to put in the crown they built for me, but it's too small and they have to send it back for a rebuild. Luckily I'm not being charged for that (I've been charged enough!), but I have to go back again next week. I'm surprisingly not stressed about it, which is nice -- dentist visits have been stressful for me but not today.

I got my suit for the wedding last week with some help from blackwingedboy. Can't say much about it (imtboo and I are keeping just that one thing secret from each other), but I think it's pretty spiffy. Still need shoes, and some tailoring. blackwingedboy and I are going downtown to do the tailoring and to look for a suit for him as well (and you never know whether I'll find an even cooler one when I'm there...). Also on this topic, Tuesday (which I took off from work), I talked imtboo into going clothes-shopping with me downtown. That's fun -- for her, and for me. We were able to find lots of new clothes for me (including a new pair of shoes) that make me feel handsome and fit... and I realized that I'm really a small, as often as I'm a medium. I'm a skinny guy. Wearing shirts that don't hang on me like a tent? needs to be a small. And I feel good in them!

Oh man! I bet I'll be the last person with anything to wear for the wedding! I'm glad you are meeting milestones and balancing things in your life. So nice.

I am sure you'll be fine, B! yes, very nice to be meeting these milestones.

That certainly was a clever title.

Oh I've given the dentist all my money lately, so I sympathize with that. My crown had to be refitted too, and I didn't realize I'd have a total of 4 visits to get the whole shebang dealt with. Then another for full x-rays and two more to handle non-crown issues. Great. But for what crowns cost, you want it to be perfect. It's good your dentist is taking time to make that happen.

Sounds very nice to take off work for a new wardrobe!

yes to all sentiments! both the clothes and the dentistry.

this was to be my final (and third) visit to the dentist this time, now with one extra it'll be four visits. But luckily I don't have to pay any extra and I'm not freaking out about it. (yay!)
