Wonder of wonders! The lost binder has been found. Grace’s track coach picked it up. Why oh why did he not tell her on Friday? Anyway one should not complain about an answer to prayer. Grace is much relieved.
Today has been one of those days when I alternately acted like an ogre or the tooth fairy. Had to give six kids today the lecture – you know – the one that goes “If you don’t like your teeth then go ahead and let them rot but don’t ask me to leave your braces on in that pool of plaque”. Two were seriously threatened with having the braces off. Now that was the ogre side. I’m trying to think of to whom I was nice enough to be classed as a tooth fairy. Maybe the poor guy who had let his teeth get way beyond repair and on whom we took out the remaining 6. Some days being a dentist can be depressing.
Actually, having a vivid sense of being called to do what I do has given my life a sense of adventure more often than a sense of despair.
