K-Bug wants to be an RA next year, she is currently on the "alternate" list (apparently last year they went through the whole alternate list, so she has a decent chance). I can only imagine the stuff she will have to deal with.

My jaw is so sore that I feel like I got sucker-punched.

Did they give you the thing to put in the other side of the mouth to rest your teeth? I always get an ache in the hinge of my jaw if I don't get that thing, and I had them put it in early since my jaw was already starting to twinge after a few minutes. Apparently, my dentist isn't a big fan of it, but it works wonders for me and stops me from asking for a break so I can close my mouth for a bit.

I hope your teeth are better now!! I had to shell out $465 for today's work (40% of the total), and that didn't include the cleaning that I'm now on a three-month schedule for (I was on six-month cleaning appointments, but the hygenist wants to see me more often). I'll be paying for that when I go back in two weeks for the permanent crown (I hope that's not going to be too expensive!).

No -- I was wondering if they would, but then I thought it would take an hour or less, and by the time I started to realize we had passed the 90-minute mark, I kept expecting to be done, and and and -- your basic procrastination.

I have one more appointment in 2 weeks for a couple more fillings on the other side of my mouth, and then I'm done until my 6-month cleaning in September. Even with dental insurance, the total for both filling visits is $400.

OTOH, when I had to have the tooth pulled, that was only $86, and I expected it to be way more, so I guess it all evens out.

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday to Noah, Grace and K-Bug!

Never had to deal with roommates having sex while I was there. (Of course, I lived in my sorority house for a year and a half, and senior year I had a single.)

The Sham-Wow guy got busted for having a fight with a prostitute.

Argh -- I am waiting for one thing from one person before I leave, and I don't know if I'm going to get it! The person works from home, so I don't know if she's stopped working for the day or what. Bah.

It occurs to me I could finish this one thing from home, so maybe I'll prep to do that, and just get the fuck out of here....

Jesse, go home!

There are some messes the Sham-Wow can't clean up after all.

The dog is a tiny engineer. I have a sloped yard, much of which is a shallow lake at the moment. The terraced steps were all separate puddles. The dog discovered he could take a few careful paws of dirt off the edge and then watch the water run over the step in a little waterfall. He just did that down four steps. He's also now a mostly red-clay-colored rather than white dog.

Ha ha -- the system I need to get into is going to be down for maintenence over the weekend, so I guess I'm off the hook -- or totally on the hook Monday.

Good times.

I think I got enough work done the past 2 days to skip going in this weekend. I will have to crank on monday though.

And to pat myself on the back. I just read 40 pages in a parenting book that I've had for over a year and looks like it will be a big aid for our ishes.

Now to knit and unstress. Reading about troubled kids is not relaxing.
