My latest dentist visit revealed three botched fillings and a tooth so destroyed it's basically just a hole. The projected repair costs are astronomical enough that my lifelong justification for sobriety ("at least it's cheaper than drinking") may finally require a spreadsheet to defend. Brush your teeth, kids.

Watching a little girl wobble on training wheels reminded me of how desperately I wanted a bike as a kid. My overprotective mom finally caved at 12. Funny how she worried so much about a bike, then handed over the car keys at 16 without a second thought.

Had a bad cold made worse by taking hayfever meds, which depress the immune system. Rookie mistake. I live and learn, frequently injuring myself along the way.

Worked myself sick launching a project at work, then decided to hit the gym anyway, dosed up on cold medication. Predictably collapsed on the floor in the middle of a training session, terrified my trainer, and wasted the time of several NHS paramedics. Lesson very much learned.

I should really know better.
