Smells like Rain

I'm on Netflix watching How to Be a Serial Killer, for Matthew Gray Gubler. I just started it. It's kind of late to be starting a movie, but I'd just be in bed watching Criminal Minds reruns anyway, lol. I'm typing this up in a mini Notepad window in the corner of my browser.

Last Thursday I took Aaliyah to the dentist. That was an... interesting trip. Interesting, but not very useful. They had me sit in the chair with her on my lap so she could be comfortable. They were really nice and concerned about making sure she was comfortable before she was looked at. Unfortunately she wasn't having it, lol. Aaliyah kept asking to go home. She never liked it when I looked in her mouth during her I'm going to see if I can eat everything I find days, so she was really uncomfortable with strangers trying to do so. An even bigger issue is they handed me a referral to a dentist that could give her something so she would be worked on; however the closest one that accepts her insurance is a few hours away. I'm considering making her another appointment in town and hoping she's more comfortable, I just doubt it. When I finally convinced her to agree to have her "teeth brushed" (cleaned), I showed her the "tooth brush" and asked if she would use that. Her response was a sad voice stating, "Nooo. It's dirty." Well, compared to the Elmo and Disney Princess toothbrushes she has owned, it did look kinda ugly.

Today, er, yesterday, was one of my "lazy days". That's when I have a bunch of crap to do, plan to do it, and then convince myself I have a valid excuse not to, lol. I'm trying to fight a cold before it gets worse and help Aaliyah through hers. At least she'll be able to get to sleep tonight. We managed not to get sick during all those days of rain and got hit now that we're having warmer days. I was actually supposed to blog here a week ago, lol.
