Listening to Bob Marley and the Wailers, considering ice cream and putting off dusting.

Watching old episodes of SNL …
 

I'm procrastinating for a few. I have a mound of policies and procedures to write for work. We got a hefty shakedown on Tuesday. We have to re-do a whole bunch policy contracts that impact a massive affordable housing expansion plan we have starting in a few months. Pretty much the rest of my directing team is on vacation. So I'm doing my best to have drafts to present on Monday for them to get going on it. I'm in over my head but am doing my best.

Waiting for the call center ppl to open up the telephone lines so I can get some Xrays of my knees and hip. Hoping to get in today before I go to my dental appt.

Thinking about the Alzheimer's that runs in my Mom's side of the family and wondering if I should schedule a memory test BECAUSE there was a beat of about five seconds tonight when I couldn't remember the boy's name.

Oh, how I hate setting up a new phone! I don't understand why so many people replace theirs after only 18 months. Once I get mine set the way I want it, I keep that phone until something breaks, no matter how out of date it gets.

I'm listening to Marketplace on NPR, and I'm babying my mouth. I finally got that cracked tooth extracted on Wednesday. It came out in several pieces, but it only took about 20 minutes and it wasn't too bad. They were very generous with the gas and local anesthetic. They were very nice. My only complaint was that the oral surgeon was fond of 70s elevator music; I spent the rest of the day with Todd Rundgren singing over and over in my head - and if that was my only problem, then I don't really have a problem.

I have antibiotics, pain medication, prescription toothpaste, mouth rinse (six times a day - I'm having trouble getting all those in), and liquid lidocaine for my swollen tongue left over from the thrush. I have slow melting tablets to put between my cheek and gum for dry mouth. I can't use my bite guard because my gum is so swollen it no longer fits, so I'm using a rolled up wad of gauze on the opposite side of my mouth to clench my teeth on during sleep. (I'm not really supposed to do this, but I don't want to crack any more teeth.) And, I have an ice pack to put on my swollen cheek for 20 minutes at a time.

So far today I've eaten two rice pudding cups and two croissants, and that took about two hours. So when I say I'm babying my mouth, I really do mean that's about all I have time for. I go back on Wednesday for a checkup and to get my stitches out.

What are you doing right now?
 

Just got home. Went for that long awaited hair cut. So good feeling clear of it. Looking out at the sunshine on the trees.Nice day out there just came in for a nap. Weather is up and down. Rain and cold, warm windy and sunshine. Nice to have variety.

Eating flan and trying to convince myself to go to bed four hours early; I have to get up in the morning and I have a day full of errands.

Doing Right Now
 

Still working on setting up things on my new computer + added things. One huge battery that my neighbour suggested that gets rid of all the wires and plugs that I thought I needed to hook things up. This $100. gadget takes all the plugs and stores the computer in open if a power surge occurs for 20 min. It is good to have all the plugs and wires gone from behind the screen. I also have an external cd player, recorder plugged into the computer as there is no longer one internally in the computer. I will figure it all out in the end, I hope.
