My mother and I are doing the Thanksgiving service at church tomorrow. It's an intergenerational service, so it is mostly readings and music ( Read more... )

Happy Birthday, susano!

Have a fantastic day.

I finally got the word (or rather, the file of passing candidate numbers) and I passed exam 4, er I mean C. Huzzah!

I guess that's all. End transmission.

I wrote the fourth actuarial exam on Monday morning. I think it went ok - mostly I'm glad to have it done with. I feel like I've been in seclusion ( Read more... )

The surgery went really well - it was only 45 minutes, including the time waiting for the freezing to kick in. They gave me an ice pack and I took it easy yesterday. I'm feeling fine today. I'll get the stiches out in a week.

The treatment is dental surgery (scheduled for September) in which they cut the gum where the hole in the bone is, reach in and cut off the end of the root ( Read more... )

Whew! The exam results are posted (a little early, actually) and yes, I passed it. I'll get my mark next week sometime - I'm actually more interested in that part. Anyway, YAY!

My dentist cannot figure out why my recently root-canaled tooth is causing pain rather than behaving itself, so I'm going to go see a specialist. Dammit. I was hoping this would be a simple "take antibiotics" type problem ( Read more... )
