I forgot. It took a text from my brother asking 'Remember what today is? How are you doing?' to trigger the memory that 13 years ago today mom passed away. I felt more guilt at forgetting and just moving on than I did about the fact that I forgot in the first place. Maybe this means I've finally finished grieving. Maybe ( Read more... )

This weekend has been pretty well packed with people visiting from out of town.

Saturday night picked up xbeltanis from school as she's up for a face to face with her cohort but normally resides in CA and we had a nice walk along the waterfront while waiting for other people to show up for dinner. Awesome conversation both then and later at dinner with zehera ( Read more... )

Thanks to metmerc, I now have a functioning bike. Which one would think would rid me of the excuse why I don't bike places and it will for the most part eventually. However I want to bike to the gym, which means buying a light. Etc. I can still think of all these things I want and 'can't' ride it til I get them which is totally untrue. I have a ( Read more... )

Many jokes were made tonight at Micki's birthday ice cream outing about my recent oral surgery. Mostly along the lines of cadaver gums and whether or not I would start speaking other languages if the prior owner of the tissue now residing in my mouthh spoke something other than english. It was decided that it would be really funny to do some ( Read more... )

My night was made tonight. My good buddy Robbie is in town for a couple of weeks and staying with some friends. I got to see him tonight, give him a couple of hugs, and hear him talk about things I had heard from other people but never actually from him, at least not in a straight forward way. It was really great to see him again, kinda like the ( Read more... )

The general discomfort of my surgery actually isn't enough to keep me home from work. I took the day off anyway because I didn't know til today that that would be the case. However, with my other pains that I'm seeing a chiro for combined with the oral stuff, I'm glad for a day off. I did connect to work and did work on some stuff that needed to ( Read more... )

I kept my eyes closed the entire process. The sound was almost worse then watching what was going on. But if I'd known I'm sure my imagination would have definitely gotten the better of me. I have two more apts, one to check the graft and make sure it is bonding and another to cut out the sutures. For tonight I'm chilling. I have to put ice on ( Read more... )

It's only 7:30 and I'm ready to crawl into bed.

I've already started my ibprophen 600 mg doses (like I'm supposed to).

Not looking forward to the gum graft tomorrow but ya gotta do what ya gotta do and I'd rather take care of this now than later.

Right now I'm hunting up shemaiah's mix cds to add some flava' to my mp3s that I'm loading up to listen to ( Read more... )

I went to a party tonight where we were supposed to dress up as American Icons. I was trying to come up with ideas when I was reminded that I still had my Wayne from Waynes World costume so I figured might as well get one more use out of it. Not sure I would have considered that as an American Icon but the point was to dress up and be silly so ( Read more... )

It's still only Saturday? That's awesome because that means one more day off ( Read more... )
