When Life Hands You Lidocaine

I was going to post something fun and exciting, but my tooth… had other plans.

Look, I know I’ve been a little MIA lately—classic case of adulting taking over—but don’t worry, I’ll be back to my regular posting in a couple of weeks. I’ve got a backlog of “catch-up” posts waiting on the sidelines (and sadly, no, none of them involve tropical vacations or lottery wins).

In the meantime, remember when we all thought adulting meant having a clean home and paying bills on time? Turns out, the real “self-care” is remembering to floss before life decides to schedule a root canal for you.

Sure, I’m smiling in the photo, but don’t be fooled—that’s not joy. That’s a delicious mix of lidocaine and several hundred milligrams of "happy pills". It's AMAZING what that can do for your mood.
