253: I donated beans to the food drive at the grocery store. They are healthy and tasty, and bast of all, they were on sale. Hey, I do what I can afford.
254: I gave one of J's jackets to my neighbour for her son. He's smaller than J so it will fit him. It was brand new, and a nice black denim. Unfortunately, J outgrew it before he had the chance to wear it.
255: I went to the dentist and became very angry. He filled a cavity last year and basically told me that he knew that wasn't the proper treatment at the time. So he said I would have to pay another insane amount of money for a root canal, or have my tooth extracted. I believe I was the logical one in all this, because I thought it would make more sense to just have the root canal last year (when he knew it had to be done) and not have to pay twice and suffer a year with a bad tooth. However, my good deed today was not using obscenities and maintaining my polite demeanor while I told them I was getting a new dentist. Hey, that was all I was capable of.
256: Before my nightmare appointment (see above) I found out that J has been bullied at school this week. That didn't put me in a very good mood, and today I made a follow-up call to see how J was doing because he was so stressed out about it. I had to get a call-back from the teacher, and I made sure to tell her I was happy with the way she was doing things, but I was simply worried about J's anxiety level. I made it very clear I wasn't trying to go above her head by talking to the office. So my kindness today was to avoid a potential miscommunication and create good rapport with J's teacher for the rest of the school year.
