Just four more days until I get my wisdom teeth yanked out of my head.

It just so happens that I’ve been seeing the dentist a lot in recent months. One reason is that we have really great dental insurance at work this year, but I’m sure it also helps that my dentist’s office is full of beautiful women (and by “full of” I mean the dentist herself, all of her assistants, and all of the hygienists.) So since I’ve been getting all of this dental work done, and since Heather has been bugging the heck out of me about it, I’ve finally caved in and decided to just go ahead and get my wisdom teeth removed.

So, yeah, I’m off to an oral surgeon on Thursday. Apparently, the bottom teeth are much more problematic than the top ones, so I’m lucky in that I only have one bottom wisdom tooth. (Yay genetics!) I’ll be off the rest of Thursday, then off Friday pluss the weekend. I worked for 12 hours over the weekend, so I may use my comp time from that to take off next Monday and Tuesday as well. Heather is already stocking up on Jello, and we’re mapping out routes to the nearest McDonald’s, Dairy Queen, and Wendy’s for my special diet based on McFlurries, Blizzards, and Frosties.
