home again

My nephew is ridiculously awesome and I get to see him again next weekend.

In the meantime, four days in the office, one day getting my teeth yanked around and my car fixed, one date scheduled, one suggested (and not by me) but not yet planned and the jury's out on whether that will actually go forward. What else? Oh! There is a chance that this visit to the orthodontist will be the last but one. (I don't know how much of a chance. But non-zero, for the first time, so that's cool.)

ooh, also

The first of my new earrings have arrived. The new ones I ordered were 12ga, 14ga, and 16ga; it seems the old ones were in fact 14, 16, 18. :-> No actual worries, but who knew a fraction of a millimeter could feel like such a difference. (Well. Anyone who's ever had dental work, for a start. But also.)
