Numb eyebrows

Today's schedule has lots of changes.  Samuel didn't go to school because he didn't feel well (not covid or viral, but they think he has stomach issues brewing again), added in a doctor's appointment for him, had to go do blood work for myself, and saw my nutritionist.  In the middle of the nutritionist visit the fire alarm started going off so the visit was cut a bit short so she could evacuate.  I also had a dentist appointment to check out an area that seems to have developed a lot of cold sensitivity recently.  Lo and behold there is a cavity that needs taking care of, and my dentist can actually take care of it right now rather than having me come back.  Well, sure, why not fix it now, plus cold sensitivity isn't the most fun thing to deal with.  I've been with this dentist for seventeen years, so she knows my mouth well.  She also knows that I apparently have the red head gene where I need extra anesthesia, so after she numbed me she shot me twice more just to make sure I wouldn't feel anything.  Have you ever had your face so numb that you couldn't feel your eyebrows? My dentist is so good she can numb your eyebrows!  Redheads take note, ask me I'll give you her number.  Unfortunately I wasn't back to normal by the time to go help with class, so me and my numb eyebrows went to class.  I'm so numb I feel like I am unable to speak clearly, so it made assisting in class a bit challenging.
