It’s been a really long day but it’s also been a pretty good one as well. Emmett’s dentist appointment went well and he kicked ass. They fixed his tooth and he didn’t even need numbed up. I think it took a total of 5 minutes.

He was nervous but very brave and I couldn’t be prouder. ☺

This means that the bar is set pretty high in the bravery department and it’s gonna be tough for me to live up to that next week when I have my wisdom teeth removed. I’m absolutely terrified of having this done but I need to set an example and preferably, a positive one. ☺

I also was able to spend some one on one time with Emmett today.

I took him to lunch after his appointment. We hit the food court at Summit Mall and Emmett actually ate pizza from Sbarro, a place he’s never been to. He even liked it. Thumbs up for trying something new. ☺

On the way home, I had to stop off and get new shoes. I’ve been putting this off because money doesn’t grow on trees but it was a necessity. I’ve had these shoes for about 6 months and in that time, I put 496 miles on them at the track. That doesn’t count walking in general. This was 496 miles that were tracked as fitness walking. That’s quite a bit.

There wasn’t much left of them and while I hated spending the cash, I needed to. My new shoes were only $60 and they’re so much more comfortable. I can’t wait to go walking tomorrow. ☺

In other news, Gavin’s still struggling a lot but Elliott had another great day at school.

Lizze is doing better since getting her Ohio Medical Marijuana card a couple weeks ago. It’s a give and take because while it really helps with her pain, it also limits her at the same time. We’re still working on a balance but this current strain she’s using, completely eliminates her migraine and that’s something that has been impossible until now. ☺

Anyway, like I said, it’s been a pretty good day here. These days don’t happen all the time, so when we do, it’s important that we never take them for granted.
