Confidence Boost

Hello Everyone:

A rather chill day for me which meant I got to do what I needed to do.  Always happy about that.  I still think mum tries to milk her situation but for now, I'm going to pause that thought.  She thinks I don't know how hard it is for but I do.  I think she just doesn't fully appreciate anything I do.  What really bothers me is when she over compliments me.  It's like mum's bending over backwards to prove just how much she really appreciates me.  If mum enjoys a dish I prepared, great, she doesn't need to over do it.  A simple "it's delicious" is enough.  Anyway, on to other things.  Tomorrow I have a dentist appointment.  While that sounds about as exciting as eating breakfast, for me it has a different meaning.  People say I don't smile a lot; one person even wondered if I actually do have a smile.  One reason I don't smile a lot is I'm very self-conscious about my teeth.  I've been diligent about going to the dentist simply because I couldn't afford, no insurance.  I do my best with the brushing and flossing but it's not enough.  Anyway, I finally got to a point where I want to do something, anything, to give myself a healthier prettier smile.  I deserve it.  Thankfully, sis pointed me in the direction of her family dentist and I'm set for tomorrow.  Even though I'm not a fan of plastic surgery, I think that a prettier healthier smile will give a confidence and who knows, I may even learn to smile.
