I did four loads of laundry today, and then I dumped it out on my bed so I'd have to put it away before I could go to sleep.

It's funny, my teeth have never really bothered me, even when I had cavities. But when I was in Bakersfield, I went to the dentist, and they took their X-Rays, and I found out that I need to have my wisdom teeth out. And as I was looking at the X-Rays, I saw one of the teeth coming in at a 90 degree angle to the other teeth, and another way back by the jaw, and my dentist pointed out an infection I had under the gum above another of the teeth where food got caught... And I thought to myself "Wow, that looks like it should really hurt. Hmm." And my dentist said "You've never felt any discomfort? That's funny, most people with this sort of thing going on feel at least mild discomfort."
And the next day, as if I on cue, I felt like I could feel my teeth being squeezed together. And today, my jaw has been really bothering me -- opening it all the way hurts a fair amount. It's really horrible -- I know that this pain is probably mostly psychological, and yet it still hurts more than anything I've ever felt in my mouth (excepting certain drills I remember distinctly). Stupid mind games.
And so, on Thursday July 19th at 8:45 am I'm scheduled to have my teeth out (assuming all of my insurance things fall into place). Wish me luck -- I'll be sure to write some pain killer induced updates when the time comes. And if you're wondering why my wisdom teeth grew so far in before my dentist decided they should come out, it's because I haven't been to the dentist for a couple of years because of those insurance issues. Ah well, Hindbite is 4/28.
I didn't appreciate how big a Palm III really was until I got my Palm V. I didn't appreciate how big my PowerBook was until I played with the PowerBook G4. I didn't realize how big my Nokia 5165 was until I saw someone playing with an 8260 today in class. Oh well. I usually learn by the second shot.
