Tuesday Tidbits

It has been forever since I've done Tuesday Tidbits.  My day has been completely random so it seems fitting any writing would be as well.  I went to the dentist, I cleaned, I ran - that was my day.  LOTS of cleaning - the last of the Christmas stuff was hauled to the garage, I purged the fridge, worked on laundry, and completely emptied off my desk to start over!!

Anywho...

• I have yet another cavity.  I'm paying for past mistakes.  The whole three or four year period of no-insurance and no dentist visits has caught up with me.  At least they have been small cavities and caught from the start.  My hygienist says I'm still in better shape than most people so that made me feel better.  And I have prescription toothpaste for a while to hopefully stop the problem.  Extra fluoride - check!  Extra calcium - check!  I go in first thing Thursday to get the cavity fixed.  I'm not so worried about that - it's the waking up before the sun thing that worries me.  No good ever comes from waking up before the sun.
• My running has been way too sporadic.  While I hit 6 miles last week, I only ran two additional miles last week.  I should be running more than that in a week according to my training schedule.  I was supposed to run 7 miles today but thought that was a bit high considering I haven't been making my weekly totals.  Avoiding injury is my priority so I only ran 5 miles today.  Legs were still tired.  I iced my knees and one shin to be on the safe side.
• I'm in the middle of reading Catching Fire, the second in the Hunger Games Trilogy.  It's another great book!!  And I love that it's a teen book so it's easy reading!!  My brain can't handle anything too complicated so I'm happy to have found some light reading.  Have I mentioned that I love my Nook??  I think I'll read more books this year than I have in many, many years!! 
• Brinkley and I had turkey burgers for dinner.  Same as last week.  Except I learned that garlic and pine nut hummus does not make for a good turkey burger condiment.  It was edible but not delicious.  Lesson learned.
• I'm missing my TV shows.  I hate winter break.  I want new episodes of Castle!!  And NCIS.  And Hawaii 5-0.  And PanAm.  I didn't give up on PanAm and it paid off.  ABC didn't give it the ax mid-season.  There's still hope!
