Guess who just survived a visit to the dentist despite crushing anxiety and prior traumatic experiences? This bitch, that’s who. I now have one fewer hole in my mouth that shouldn’t be there, and there’s nothing else wrong that I didn’t already know about and isn’t minor enough to wait. I left with toothpaste samples and a tooth shaped stress ball. Then I went out for coffee, Mexican food, and a brand new gorgeous copy of Girls Made of Snow and Glass. Still jittery, but still here.
