So I was shelving books today when I realized the back of my mouth felt...off, way back on the right hand side. Wasn't a very good feeling, either, since my wisdom tooth has a cavity back there. When I probed the offending tooth with my tongue, I felt something give, and fall. I spit, and what to my wondering, panicked eyes should appear but a big chunk of tooth.
All of my other teeth are fine; there's something called fluorosis, the dentist said, that renders my teeth quite resistant to cavities and disease. It usually appears in people who have had an overabundance of fluoride growing up, and I have Baltimore water and Crest toothpaste to thank for that. Discolored teeth, sure, but rock solid. My wisdom teeth came in too late to cash in on that fluoride extravaganza, so now they're flaking away inside my head.
I need them out. The idea of a tooth rotting inside my head is about as far uncool as I can think of. So, as soon as I'm able, I'm scouting dentists and oral surgeons to get an estimate. Whatever it is, it's going to hurt (in more ways than one), but I'm seriously spooked here. I'm hoping I can get all four out for $600 or so; it'll take a few months to pay off, but I can't see any other options.
In other news, my housing situation has gotten...interesting. I have the opportunity to move with another roommate into the apartment next door, and I was thinking about it pretty hard. Tonight, we had a meeting between two apartments and one other, and it turns out we won't be getting a 'replacement roomie' nearly as easily as we thought. It's all good, though; the other apartment probably needed it more.
Meanwhile, I can't even think about moving out until we get a fourth roommate, and a possible 'replacement' for me. I'm not even sure I want to move at this point; we'll see how I feel about it in a few months. Right now, though, I'm staying where I am. Well, I might be moving into Delphi's old room, which could rock rather hard. *grin* I can definitely use the closet space.
In yet more news, saw my first episode of "Firefly," and I do believe Joss Whedon is rapidly becoming one of my favorite writers. I might have to fall into "Angel" sometime soon. Just seeing one episode, I'm sorely disappointed Fox took it off the air. But then, chuckleheads like me ignored it the first time around, so there's no wonder. ;) If you can, see it; there's a DVD set of all 19(?) episodes so far.
The writing jag continues following my small epiphany. I feel like my options have expanded limitlessly; there's so much more that I'm able to write about now that my field of vision isn't quite so narrow. Taking the blinders off will do that to you.
Anyway, I'll be working on Boomer Express, Salvation and Grey Warming Over this weekend. There's a Changeling game this Sunday, too, so that'll be...interesting. I have Eric and Aaron only, it looks like, so I'm not sure how it's going to play out.
Well, I'm off.
