Enjoying the Dentist?

I consider myself a tough cookie, but there is something about the dentist drill that sends me running.  Thank goodness I have a painless dentist.  None the less, I was not thrilled about the prospect of having my tooth drilled out today and replaced with a crown. 

Slow down nona, what about all that waiting time at the dentist?  Time in the waiting room.  Time in the dentist chair waiting for the Novocaine to kick in.  Time with a big gooey mold in your month.  Doesn't this sound like perfect knitting time?  Well yes nona, I think it does!

To prepare for my "afternoon knitting spree", I pulled out my Hanne Falkenberg Promenade Shawl that I started last April.  I had put the shawl aside to pursue warm weather knitting, but it was high time I got it back out.

So to those who see the glass as half full -- I had an enjoyable afternoon today knitting my shawl at the dentist.  And to those who see it as half empty -- I'm sitting here now with a throbbing tooth after enduring the whirl of the dentist drill.  Which do you prefer?
