Yay, Jilli! Are you planning on putting them in a locket or choker?

You people know me well. Probably one of those glass-sided locket things, which I know I can order from Etsy. Oooh, I could put the other tooth I had extracted a few years ago in it, too.

I have been putting off dealing with my wisdom teeth for YEARS. But I know I have to get it done (even tho' I don't have dental insurance right now), and better that I do it now, because I've got events, travel, and general GCS appearances starting in mid-March.

Timelies all!

You'd think that we'd check the official website before assuming that Presidents' Day is a holiday that means refuse/recycling collection for our town is pushed back a day.(Answer: Nope.) Ah, well.

I still have one wisdom tooth. It's below the gumline, and hasn't caused any problems, so there it stays.

Roasting more cauliflower tonight. SO TASTY. (It's accompanying tamales and red beans & rice; perhaps not the most natural combination in the world, but we needed a veggie, and there's a head of cauliflower in the fridge just staring at me, so into the oven it goes.)

Our garbage etc. is picked up on Mondays and it's almost never affected by holidays. That seems really weird to me, I'm used to pick-up schedules being delayed all week by holidays as Monday's route gets pushed to Tuesday, and so forth, but not here.

So, I want to hire Suzi!

Tep, thanks for the Zantac reminder. My skin is still fucked up from an allergic reaction to penicillin, so I might try that.

I have one wisdom tooth left because the last molar on that side was gone so there was room for it.

Working late tonight so dinner was from the grocery store soup/food/salad bar a block away. Hard to beat. Spring green mix, mushrooms, sun dried tomatoes, beets, probably other stuff, with a piece of blackened tilapia on top. Then a container of wild mushroom soup to go with it. $8. I don't know why I bother to cook sometimes.

My favorite Book Emergency story happened when a coworker got stuck in the elevator at work (i.e., in the library) for half an hour. Unfortunately, she only had 2 books with her, and they were both juvenile nonfiction books about baseball, and she hates sports.

I made lasagna for dinner. Pretty good, but the vegan ricotta has lemon juice in it, and I think I made it a bit too lemony.

Is that irony? I want to call that irony. It's a great story, whatever you call it.

I roasted a duck since I was home and had a thawed duck in the fridge, and I'm quite pleased with how it came out, but I seem to have no appetite. More for tomorrow, I guess. Cold duck is even a thing, right?
