Fortunately...

...I have insurance with dental coverage.

Unfortunately, it doesn't begin to cover the cost of a root canal.

Fortunately, for something like this, we have savings.

Unfortunately, this is not a fun way to spend money.

Fortunately, I am mature about these things.

Unfortunately, the last statement was a lie.

(I'm supposed to end this with a "Fortunately... fortunately... and fortunately..." but I'm still reeling from the abscessed tooth experience and my first time with nitrous oxide. By the way, it only made me laugh a little. But I did tell the dentist and the hygienist that I loved them.)
