I'll get my permanent crowns put in today. I think I may have a couple of cabidees filled as well. Then it's off to music practice later in the day. It was too cool for the pool yesterday, so I called a few friends on the phone and worked on my book a bit. The raccoons visited us again last night, but I chased them off before they could eat Kitty's food and wash their hands in her water. How Is your week shaping up?

Don't forget to take a Tylenol before you go to cut down on the pain. If the weather clears up I may go to Evansville tomorrow and who knows from there.

@TheHorse — that was the dentist in the movie M*A*S*H, the “painless Pole.”

Whee!! My week is not shaping up. It is raining heavily. I could have done with a dry day today. Maybe you could put something out for the Raccoons and film them - I've seen them in other people's gardens online and they are quite entertaining and very quick to learn They seem to get on well with cats and dogs Hope the visit to the dentist goes well.

I find raccoons really cute. But they're a bother late at night when they are trying to get to Kitty's food.

@TheHorse Kitty won't mind. Probably quite ok sharing the food with them.

@Ineeddentures I think she and the raccoons are in cahoots sometimes.

My daughter took a picture of one of our cats out front, conversing with three turkeys.

Raccoons can become a real problem if you let them do what they like. Good luck with the dentist.

Poor raccoons! You could have tossed something to them as they ran screaming from your porch. I hope you have fun at the dentist's office. Good luck!

It was not. The worst part was that I was numb for several hours.

Hope your dentist visit today is quick and painless. Raccoons are a nuisance but glad you chased them before they ate kittys food

I got a package I was waiting on and I worked on Chris's diamond painting. I had hoped to get two trees removed in my front yard today. They are Bradford Pear trees. But it rained last night. So I hope to get them removed tomorrow.

So cute that raccoons wash their hands. I don't know any other creatures that do that although I've known cats to lick water from their paws.

I hope your dentist appointment went well. Today the lady from the Council on Aging/Meals on Wheels comes to re-qualify me for MOW.
