Shir, I've had surgery on a frenulum in the mouth (lower lip). They cut the tissue and then had to do a graft on my lower, front gums. This was right after I had braces so I know what you're going through.

I hope it clears up for you and there is less discomfort.

I was hoping for a moveable island that could cruise the coast for the best weather and seasons.

So much this.

Healing ~ma Shir.

I managed to pull up my upper lip a little bit today, and the pain is definitely where the stitches are: I hope that by removing them it'll go away.

{{Aims}} I am so sorry for your loss. Peace and strength to you and yours.

Happy belated Birthday to Ginger!

{{Shir}} Healing ~ma for your poor abused mouth. May much painless laughter be in your near future.

I picked up the parental units yesterday and transported them home for the winter. It is good to have them closer again. Still a couple hours plus away, but closer.

Tom and I went over budget things today, and things are not as dire as we feared. Yay for facing fear! We feel a little better. Things are tight and will continue to be, but we'll be OK for a while.

Thoughts and prayers to Aimee and her family.

Yay, Nora! That's wonderful news!

I just got up like 45 minutes ago. I had great hopes for getting much done today, but my hip hurts, so I'm not sure much of anything is going to get done. Grrr...

Dear Linens n Things,

When you have a "going out of business" sale, with great big signs that say "everything must go!!!!", I expect actual bargains. 10-40% off is bullshitting. When you have a real sale, call me.

Love,
Me

Not only am I working today, I rode my bike!

::glows with probity ::

The puppies are totally playing and they have new collars and toys!

TCG just called me to find out where in CVS he could find the gift cards. He's at the CVS. I'm home. I suggested he might want to ask someone that works there.
