incandescensThe dentist wasn't too bad. Had edge of filling filed down, and a temporary filling put over it, and am currently working on remembering not to chew on that side for 24 hours. Have an appointment for a proper filling in October. (It doesn't clash with Yaoicon, April, don't worry. ;))
My copy of Jim Butcher's latest novel, Blood Rites, turned up today. It is, as I expected, excellent. But for reasons which are rather complicated to explain, but which a number of ex-AmberMushers would understand, I am very amused to see that Lord Raith has a single ruby earring.
(Why, yes, some things I remember well.)
Am QAing and editing a chunk of procedures at work. This is inspiring me to think kind thoughts towards editors everywhere. It takes time.
It's raining outside. Good, better, excellent. Let's have more of it.
