Left a message at the dentist's office, haven't heard back yet. I think I'm doomed (DOOMED) to wait until Tuesday. It... doesn't really hurt - yet - not like when I had the cracked tooth and the abscess (by far the worst pain in my entire life, I would take an entire spine of herniated disks over that), but it is occasionally uncomfortable. I sincerely hope it stays at that level, but I have my doubts. I think it's already getting a little worse, and it's only been a day. :( It was suggested that if it gets sensitive I get some of the wax used for braces and cover over the exposed area. I also have some special mouthwash and stuff I can use. And I'm tough. *wibble* I just wish I could take a painkiller stronger than ibuprofen.
I'm more bothered by my wrist (again). I don't know what's wrong with it. Basically, it hurts to bend it or touch the back of my wrist. This happens on and off, usually as the result of either extending it, or as was the case this time, gripping something. I squeezed... something, I don't remember what, and I felt a *pop* in my wrist, and now it is sore. I figure I have a good two weeks of discomfort before it settles back down. Great, another excuse not to get anything done on my vacation. I'm beginning to wonder if the universe is just conspiring against me on this vacation. *grump* At least (silver lining silver lining silver lining) it is my left wrist this time.
Man, I feel whiny.
I watched The Mist last night and was pleasantly surprised. I think when I do get around to reviewing it, it will get four stars. I know, surprised me, too! Even though the ending was entirely predictable, I liked it.
My boss's boss evidently won a Kindle at a seminar, and now I can bash it having personally handled one. I never liked the idea (*hugs my books*) but now I can honestly say I don't like using it. It's awkward to hold, and every time you flip a page the screen flashes a negative image of the page before it flips. Really, really, REALLY annoying. Plus, even with the text set small not that much fits on a page, so someone like me who reads rather quickly would be flipping A LOT. The flash, combined with the relatively slow flip time and smaller pages, would really bog down the reading. It also felt flimsy and cheap, and I didn't like the controls. Certainly not worth $400, sorry. I will stick to real books and my beloved library and bookstores.
I've also almost finished my last project before vacation, so then it's just cleaning up and watering plants. 5 1/2 hours, now...
