Had one filling replaced and two new ones added, bringing me to a lifetime total of four. The new ones were supposed to be fairly shallow -- after all, it took me until age forty to need anything done in the first place.

Sadly, the dentist wanted to numb me up anyway, which is deeply annoying. Grr. And now that it has worn off a bit and I can drink from a glass again, the whole right side of my face ACHES with a low-level deep throbbing kind of ache that feels as if my orthodontic wires got tightened. It's up to my cheekbone and my temple, and it's down the jaw from ear to chin.

No fun.

However, this work did get done before my dental benefits ended. Thumbs up for that.

That sounds most excellent! I think I will indeed drop by, probably morning to early afternoon.

I'm torn on what to do about throwing a party in the Boston area. I'd love to meet all the folks I've never met, see people I haven't seen in twenty years, AND hang out with the MIT crowd -- and it's going to be difficult to make one event work for all that. I think I skipped every class in Social Life 101.
