I felt I didn't get much done on latest novel, CRIME & NOURISHMENT last week. Therefore I planned a bigger effort this week; head down to write and write and get back on track after the recent amendments I made.

Yesterday I received a text from the opticians to say my new lenses were in and I needed to bring my glasses in to put them in. It should only take an hour. Got to the opticians this morning.

"Oh, they're frameless glasses. That will be two hours."

Ok, I'll mill about for two hours instead. Hmm, that pain from the tooth with the crown that I had last month is back again. Perhaps I should pop into the dentist as I pass it on the way home.

"We can get you an appointment for five o'clock."

That's good, although it's a half hour drive each way. By the time I got home, had dinner; sorted a few things and cleaned my teeth...

Oh, it's time to drive back.

Today's word count - Zero.

After spending over £100 on the lenses and then booking in for a £500 root canal next month this unscheduled day off has become very expensive.
("Did you get away this year?" "Oh yes, I holidayed up the Root Canal.")

Of course the worst thing was the dentist telling me that if the root canal didn't work I'd probably lose the tooth and have to have a fake one!
Great, stronger glasses and false teeth. I'm going to start predicting the weather with my leg cramps and other twinges.

Anyway, tomorrow it's back to the novel...or is it!

(Extra note. Before I saved this, the internet crashed and I've just had to type this up for a second time! It's not my day today)
