More books

Today was one of those days when I use one of my many flaws and go on a book-buying spree.

This morning,  ( I just realized that I am writing this in the web hours of Thursday June 22, 2017, so I should have started with;  " Yesterday") I had a bad tooth (Num. 5) pulled out at the dentist. It has been years since I have gone to a dentist (It's their fault) for any reason. But I'm happy to report that Dr. Robert Castro DDS did helped me in more than one way. I am a very impatient person, I get very anxious, nervous and distressed when it comes to see a dentist.
H
Dr. Castro's staff is very helpful, polite and respectful. From the recepcionista to the dental assistant, they put me at ease, which unbeknownst to them is not an easy task. Even while I was in the dentist chair, mental, I was looking for a way out, any reason or excuse to say, nevermind, let me think about it and I'll come back later.
The assistant applied an orange numbing gel to my gum, above the decaying tooth and in about a minute and a half, Dr. Castro walks in and tells me that he is about to inject the actual or stronger anesthetic agent, he does so, followed by another shot. While this is happenning, my heart is racing and I feel like the inevitable is about to overwhelm me, but the he says,"breath through your nose" and pokes my gum with some sharp tool and asks "do you feel this" and I know that not even three minutes have passed since the injections and say no.
I think that this is when I start to calm down again. The Doctor starts the procedure, using only two or three tools, one is the cutting grill, I can smell the burning bone, then he switches to the pulling tool, and tells me that I'm going to feel some pressure but no pain, then in what seemed to me like another three minutes, he says "got it" and I hear the clinking of the bad tooth being placed in the metal tray.
At this point I feel relieve that it's over and embarrassed that I was starting to panic for no reason earlier.
With my right side of my face numb and a piece of gauze to contain the bleeding, not sounding very clear, I thank Dr Castro for his quick and nimble work and told him that I was very pleased with the entire visit.
Still in awe of what had just transpired, I trove to a Goodwill store nearby to hunt for books, but could not find any that piqued my interest.
I then went to a Salvation Army ThriftStore that I have not visited in a long time on West Ave. and there I found me a trove of gems (to me, anyways) and bought ten (10) books. This is what I call a book-shopping spree, which I rarely do.
These are the titles that will keep me busy for the next few weeks (maybe even months):
