At the dentist again

It's always an exiting experience to visit your trusted dentist. Each time again, I'm surprised how many instruments actually fit into my mouth... And then they tell you "Open your mouth a little more, please!" I would, really!!! But I can't - I already have 2 hands, five instruments and two cotton pads inside and kind of feel like a snake just before it unhinges its jaw-bones. The only difference: I'm not able to unhinge them!

The most delighting moment of a dentist visit is when they take out all instruments and ask you if everything feels alright with your new filling or if it is to rough or stands out too much or so?! Well, let me tell you: I can't feel anything then as my tongue wonders why it is allowed to move again; it feels like a cotton cloth; my jaw aches and everything is numb (I'm a wimp at the dentist and almost always ask for an injection).
Next time, please ask me to call tomorrow and tell you if everything is alright with the filling.

Skiing in Tyrol

No work, no computer, no internet - last week was enjoyed in the mountains near Innsbruck in Tyrol with "Frau Jötte & Herrn Bumsfeld". Thanx guys for the fun time!!!

Now... where is the snow?!?

Unfortunately, you can't see our sunburns and feel the heat... it was quite warm, but we still had enough snow for the week and as I mentioned before: we are currently getting a lot of new snow.

That's marketing - "Eat at our place or we both will starve" ;)

Global warming

Returning to Graz yesterday, I left the train with the finest early summer weather you can imagine... it felt like May: about 20 degrees celsius, blue skies, sun shining. So Christian and I just had to do a first visit to a "Buschenschank" around the corner this year. We enjoyed the sun and had a drink and lunch outside. Very nice! :)

This morning, I woke up because of quite a rumble on the roof and windows. It was not just raining, it was actually pouring.... and now I'm sitting in the office watching everything turn white around me. These are the biggest snowflakes, I've seen in a while. And actually I don't feel like snow anymore - not after all that spring weather we had since January!

... but who cares?!

At the dentist

This morning at the dentist the following scene could be followed:

My dentist with a serious face above my face working hard with the dental drill - you might know the very rough thing they use before they put in the filling. You always have the feeling, your head breaks into pieces.

Dentist: "Ooh, this one is deep"
Katrin: "Uauuah" *eyes widened by anxiety*
Dentist a little while later: "Ooooh!" (this time in a higher voice), "Oh, there is the nerve..."
Katrin: "Aaaaeurrgh..." *cold sweat on the forehead*
Dentist: "Do you feel THAT???"
Katrin: "Aaaaeuurrrrrgh..."

I might get a root canal threatment on this tooth, but for now my dentist is trying to keep it vital a little longer... I got pain killers in case it doesn't work.
