Naptime

It's one of those days. We should all be curled up in front of a fire sipping mugs of cocoa, not sitting at desks in an office building. There's been hardly any work so far today, which is just as well because I'm really getting into this book Shoshana lent me -- Outlander by Diana Gabaldon. I'm not usually into romance novels, but this one's got me hooked. It's about a woman in the 1940's who steps through a standing stone in the Scottish Highlands and gets transported back 200 years, where of course she meets a gallant young Scottish warrior. It's not overly cheesy and the Scottish dialect just makes me think of Sean Biggerstaff...hee. :-)

My tooth hurts a lot less today. Maybe I was just teething. I certainly hope so. Now my left ear feels a little clogged. I'm just a little mess.

I can't believe my trip to Scotland is next week! I'm just not in the right mindset yet. And I'm looking forward to telling people I'm leaving Thursday, instead of "I'm leaving on Sept. 11." It's nerve-racking enough just getting on a plane without the worried looks I get from people.

Good news!

I don't need an emergency extraction! I just need to rinse with saltwater to get the swelling down around my tooth. Oh happy day. I'm sorry I had to leave early, chisaiboo and gargoyl, but the good news is I won't have to take any more time off to get my tooth yanked. Not any time soon anyway. I hope you didn't have to stay too late.

I spent the night drinking glass after glass (in celebration?) of this Ozwell Australian Vintners Chardonnay. Normally I'm not a wine drinker, but this stuff gives such a happy buzz and more than an hour after drinking four glasses, I am not feeling headachey or ready to pass out. Good stuff. I also got to watch the repeat of the Buffy finale (I love Buffy, but it just wasn't up to Joss's regular caliber) and Queer Eye for the Straight Guy (I heart Kyan.)
