Weather: Clear and cool

Reading: Mythspring, a story collection, edited by Julie Czerneda and Genevieve Kierans. Genevieve was one of my Clarion classmates way back in 2001 - a longass time ago. The collection was her brainchild. It's a collection of stories based on the "lyrics and legends of Canada." She has two stories in in, and another classmate, Karina Sumner-SMith, has one.

Knitting: caps for Christmas

I had surgery on my gums yesterday, getting them to cover up my tooth roots. They'll look nice and pretty now, and be more sanitary for me (that is, once they heal up). Just about everything that goes into the body goes through either the lungs or the mouth, so I want my mouth good and healthy. I don't want nasty chemicals or toxic metals or bacteria festering around in there at all. I don't know whether that makes sense to anyone else, but it does to me. I just learned that my dad recently had his wisdom teeth extracted. He's 74. Made me grin. I thought I was bad, waiting till I was 34 to get the last one pulled.
