Novocain and Summer Solstice

Ahh...so we survived another crazy week! To explain the title of today's entry we will start with last Wednesday. I unfortunately had to get a cavity filled...my first one in eight years! So, I took off from work around 1 on Wednesday to go to the dentist. When I got there I explain my sensitivity to medicine and informed the dentist I probably didn't need a lot of Novocain. I explained how taking other medicine like Tylenol or Advil will sometimes knock me out for the night or day...So he nodded and filled the cavity. He finished up, I was filling good...no pain. I sat up and realized I couldn't feel my eye lid! I was blinking but all I could feel was my contact! My entire left side of my face was numb! I took the dentist and he told me it should wear off in an hour. I was having trouble talking so I decided to go home instead of heading back to work. On my way as I tried to smile at the bus driver I was a bit more numb than I realized. I got home took some photos of trying to smile and waiting for Brandon. Within minutes of him walking in the door we were rolling on the floor with laughter due to my inability to smile :) Saturday, the 19th, was the summer solstice celebration in Fremont. So as in years past, we joined friends at Paul and Jeannie's for early morning cocktails, food and then the parade. It was slightly rainy but nothing beats the craziness of people celebrating the start of summer...on their bicycles...and painted ;) Brandon and Ryan enjoying the beer garden.
