Sweet Tooth

Day 5
I spent the first half of the day at the dentist. I have not had a cavity since I was in high school. Today I got the crud drilled out of two of my teeth. You would think that after spending the morning in a dentist chair I would never touch the sweet stuff again. Right? Wrong. In fact after I was done all I wanted was a treat. It must have been the inner child in me wanting something to soothe her tortured soul. I remember endless dentist and doctor appointments from my childhood that ended in sugar laced bliss. As a result of the morning's event my day was spent longing for a treat. Any treat. I just needed something to make myself feel better. However, I did not sedate myself with sugar. Probably because my mouth was numb most of the day, which made eating even the softest of foods impossible. But I did it today. I made it through another day.
5 days down 25 to go.
