Well, that wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be.

And they complimented my flossing. LAWLZ.

Yeah, I couldn't get over that. See, all you have to do is really just floss for like a week before you go in and they can't tell the difference. Although to be fair I was semi-regular at it anyway. I just amped up my flossage to evangelical levels before this dental appointment to see if it would help me avoid the de rigueur lecture. And so it did. Take heed, everyone!

It really wasn't bad. It didn't hurt, and everyone was very nice. I even got a goody bag! Which was nice since they said I should switch to a soft toothbrush and one came inside the nifty little treat bag. I love free stuff. Sadly I do have a few little cavities, although after 5 years of not going to the dentist that isn't too bad. Those will be filled next Wednesday, and I'm sure you'll get to hear all about how much I hate my drooling, numbed up face afterward. Whee!

My ankle is displeased. It is not better at all from the fin blisters, and is still raw and kinda oozy. I know you wanted to know that, Gentle Reader. I think after work I'll go home and put it up and try to dry the silly thing out. Maybe that will make it heal up. I put antibiotic stuff on it last night, just in case, so now I think it just needs to air. We shall see. As soon as this is fixed, I will be back at it! I thought about going and wearing sandals, then just doing some weights on my upper body, but I don't know. I don't want my pants to drag on it. It hurts to touch it, even with just a sheet. There's always something. HEAL, DAMN YOU!

This is what I get for swimming nearly a mile in fins the first time I put them on in years. That sound you hear? That's my mother telling me how moderation is a wonderful thing.

We had a super yummy dinner last night. Baked wild Alaskan cod with tomatoes and garlic, black rice, and stir-fried broccoli with tomatoes and diced avocado on the side, followed by cherries and blueberries over a little bit of honey yogurt for dessert. Delicious, and surprisingly inexpensive. I am so glad I married this man. He has a lot of good selling points, but this was one of the strongest! I'm big on food. Food is awesome, especially when you cook it yourself. I kind of hate cooking, but even I will admit that making stuff for yourself is sort of primally satisfying.

Fortunately Patrick both likes cooking and excels at it. He can even do the flippy pan thing where you toss the food up and catch it! He tried to get me to attempt it once, and I told him that unless he wanted dinner all over the wall he should probably give me a pan full of beanbags or something first. No joke, we would've been peeling mushrooms off all four walls and the ceiling, which is impressive considering it's vaulted. I get excited when I do things for the first time, and stuff tends to go everywhere.

This is why I will only throw knives outdoors. In a field. With no one around.
