tons of fun
1. Gentleman Caller is still awesome. :-) ♥
2. Remember how I had emergency root canal a couple of months ago? I've had a temporary crown since then because they wanted to be extra-super-positive the infection was healing up and the abscess was filling in before putting anything permanent on there, which seems sensible to me. So on Monday I went in and had another x-ray, and everything is groovy, and they took off the temporary and cleaned things up a bit (which, disappointingly, involved burning away some gum tissue with a laser, but on the up side, when I asked nicely they did this without shooting me full of novocaine first - since, you know, the laser thing is going to hurt no matter what when the novocaine wears off, so why suffer the pain of the needle as well?) and took the impression for the permanent crown (gold, because it's the sturdiest, and what I want is the thing least likely to fall apart and send me back to do this again in future; GC heard "gold" and said "grillz? you're going to have a grill? nice."), and stuck another temporary crown on there. Which took forever to fit, and in fact it didn't quite - too high in the back - and this morning, as I was innocently eating breakfast, off came temporary crown #2. So instead of going to work I went back to the dentist and then came to work.
3. Last week my dad's platelets were a little too low to have his chemo (they don't do it if the platelets are below 100, and his were 94. Today they're 106. Apparently the "standard range" is 150-400, so I have no earthly idea what those numbers mean, but I'm reassured that 94 isn't badly low, just low enough that they don't want to do other traumatic things, just to be on the safe side. So he was going to get re-tested and possibly have the poison this week instead, and I called the house to see if he had done so and how it went, and got no answer, so I left a message and then called my mom on her cell, which - when she answered - was the point at which I realized that today is not Thursday. Durr. I was asking about how everything had gone yesterday, and I wanted news from yesterday's visit and blah blah blah, when in fact it's today's visit and it's still in its early stages (though, as you've seen, the platelets are high enough that once everyone who needs to see the results has seen them, he'll be able to get the treatment today).
4. ♥ I'm sorry. I try not to be, you know, how I'd roll my eyes if other people were that way right in my face, but sometimes I can't help it. ★.☆
5. I forget the fifth thing.
