visit to the tooth fairy

boogieshoeswell, i went to the dentist yesterday, and there's good news, and bad news. the good news is, for not have flossed or gone to get my teeth cleaned in 8 yrs, my teeth are not as bad as they could be.
the bad news: there's cavities everywhere between my teeth. i say the xrays. *everywhere*.
the ugly: not counting getting my tooth pulled, i'm looking at $1800 of mechanic work, and the dental insurance is only $1500 a year. the lady who cleaned my teeth said i could probably get away with prioritizing with the worst cavities, and save the rest for next year, and just try to make sure i don't get worse. i like that idea.
other news:
looking at d*c in the fall. not sure if i want to go, because saving $$ is tougher than i thought, in terms of habits and such-like. if i go, i'm looking at cost-cutting measures, and hoping to h*ll that ratseal is going, because he agreed to be my shield against the overwhelming masses of the con. i have this thing about large amounts of humanity in any one place at any one time. i can only fight the paranoia for so long before i have to leave and get some air.
my parents are coming here this weekend, to celebrate my job and etc. they're in biloxi doing stuff now. i have put together another closet-organizing stackable box thing in prep for it. it is now waiting to recieve my SCA stuff. i have decided to use the office closet as an 'off-season' closet - which i didn't want to do (i wanted to let it be mostly empty for guests). but i still need the following items:
some kind of couch for the living room.
some kind of organizer i can stick my power tools in. it may or may not be the same thing i stick my outdoor tools in.
one or two chests. one will go at the end of my bed, for extra towels and blankets. one will be a travel chest for SCA clothes and gear. chest number 2 isn't necessary, but i thought i'd ask Dad how hard it would be to build a ceder chest, because i'm not finding anything i like in the stores.
some kind of rack for my bow. i'm afraid to unwrap it right now, but it should be hung on the wall properly.
new sewing machine. i may donate the old one to the barony and let them fix it. it works, but needs a good tuning or something, and i don't want to deal with it.
something i got that i didn't expect to: a table and 6 chairs. it's on layaway, and the total will be $600+ $75 for taxes and shipping. i'll pay it off over the summer, but it's good stuff.
i may check into the unclaimed furniture thing on ponchetrain blvd to see if they have any couches that are worthwhile.
i'm also trying to put a fighter kit together. i'm thinking it might be a while for me to get all this, so i thought i'd ask the barony list if anyone's got any rattan i can buy to make a sword with. i figure, as clumsy as i am, i might as well get started on practicing moves. that'll help me with the whole work-out thing, too.
on top of all this, i'm trying to:
save for a house by december or march.
research and write on my long-a** fanfic story.
do the obgyn thing
become the barony herald.
finish embroidery pieces by the dozen, cause i have a friggin' huge UFO pile
new SCA clothes (have the cloth, need to sew)
finish/repair/ fix *old* SCA clothes and other obligations.
figure out a birthday present list.
christmas presents list. and i need to buy xmas presents by thanksgiving, because i refuse to go shopping in december.
