And I'm back!

Well, the toilet has been working for the past week or so. It was  a great exercise in working together for Craig and I - and we all survived! An added bonus is that with the new guts of the toilet it uses less water when it flushes - yay Earth!

I'm at home, in bed, watching season one of Rugrats: All Grown Up. Why is that you ask? Well, yesterday I said goodbye to a small part of me - my wisdom teeth. Craig was my nurse yesterday and took very good care of me. And as much as you hear horror stories of wisdom teeth extraction - it is day two and I'm feeling great. No bad reactions to the anesthesia (it was my first time going under and I was very worried I'd be very loopy and say embarrassing things - didn't happen! As far as I know....) or to the vicodin (first time on strong painkillers also). Still not up to chewing real food - but I've never appreciated instant mashed potatoes more than I do now.

I woke up this morning with almost no pain in my mouth, so hopefully I'm done with the vicodin and can stick to advil. The best part of feeling so good so soon though? I don't have to go back to work until February 1 - yes, a week from today. What to do with my free (and pain free!) time off!? I'm starting with catching up on Nickelodeon cartoons on instant Netflix. Maybe hitting up the airforce museum in Dayton on Saturday with Craig (they have a new Disney exhibit - so excited!). Though if I'm responsible I should probably dive back into thesis work.... you know... that thing I haven't looked at since April but that needs to be done in order for me to really graduate from grad school?

Yuck. That can wait till tomorrow at least... I need to make sure I'm really feeling well first ;-)
