Not home improvement, no. Teeth cleaning. They actually used a device today that looked VERY like a rasp. A very small, very thin (such that it could slide between teeth) thing, but a rasp nonetheless. And my teeth, they do feel very clean. Bit nekkid, but clean.
First thing I did when I got home? Finished off the last 3 bites of Cinnamon Bun ice cream in the freezer.
I really don't have any other tales to tell. Tonight will be the last night of the overnights, apparently, so I have no clue what I'll be working for the next week. Everyday is an adventure!
I do know I'm off for the next two days. Friday is a payday and I have some stuff callin my name at REI, so there you go.

I got my face drilled today.
It sounds so dramatic, doesn't it? To have one's face drilled. And no, I didn't take a soccer ball to the face. There was a time in my life when such a phrase would have meant precisely that, but this is not that time.
No, I had to have a filling replaced. Seems I clench my teeth (no, really? stress? me?), and I had cracked a rather old metal filling. So today I got a snazzy new amalgam, and a half frozen face. All in less than an hour. The anaesthetic is starting to wear off, so I have that lovely tingly feeling, in addition to the lingering pain of the injections and the several times that I've bitten my cheek in the interim.
My dentist has tvs hovering over the exam chairs though, so I got to watch US v Haiti soccer match. (Hey. Soccer again. Twice in one post. Totally unintentional. What's that mean?). We were up 2-0 when she finished, but honestly I think the Haitians were playing better. I'm a dentist's chair expert on these things, you know.

So here's the story
I've been 37 for just over a month now, and while the prospect of being even *nearer* 40 causes me much chagrin, it hasn't sucked entirely.
We went to Charleston, SC towards the end of May, for another gathering of WoW friends, and it was soooo awesome. Check it out. There aren't a lot of notes to lead you through the madness, but I think you can see easily enough what a great time everyone had.
It's summer here now, which means 100+ temperatures on any given day, so we're spending a lot more time inside, listening to the dogs whine. I was cycling and even walking the dogs with a moderate amount of regularity until the heat came. Now I will be a hermit. Lots of movie watching, I guess.
Or, I can just do stuff outside when I get off work at THREE A.M. for the next week or two or three. Yeah. I said it. I'm working 7pm to 3am for the next little while. Should be good times. We're resetting part of the store, and lucky me--I get to head up the overnight team doing it. Oh no, it's not because the boss thinks I have a particular talent for leading such a crew...it's because I'm the only one of us keyholders with no children to share with my "spouse". I was the easy choice. Don't get me wrong, I'll thoroughly enjoy being in the store without having to deal with all those pesky customers, but still...it burns!
And that's what I know for now. Happy June! (I'll try to get back, really I will!)
