01:14 pm: Must accomplish something...
"Any day on which you've had dental work and have also accomplished anything else may be classified as a win."

I discovered that the person who picked up my shiny black MP3 player (named Avon, by the way) from the Teviot, where I lost it Saturday at a pre-Nanowrimo getogether, evidently thought "Cool! Free MP3 player!" and not "Oh, someone lost an MP3 player, let me hand it in to lost property".

I don't think that counts as an accomplishment.

I also lost my day ticket, but I don't think that counts as an accomplishment either.

Perhaps I'll pay my phone bill.

I had two fillings. The dentist asked me twice if I was OK. I spent 40 minutes or so remembering to breathe, trying not to shake, and working out prime numbers - I didn't even get as far as 97: I was still trying to work out 91 in my head when he told me we were done.

[EMBARRASSED UPDATE: It turned out I had not dropped my shiny black MP3 player in the Teviot, I had dropped it when I got home. I found it again. I am relieved and embarrassed.]

04:06 pm: At sea.
Today, does not exist. We set sail yesterday.

Meantime, I have a dental appointment tomorrow at 2pm, and an ENT appointment at 3:20. Oh joy, where is thy sting?

Also, I finally saw the second half of the House sixth-season opener, and I don't think this is too much of a spoiler when I say that while the West Wing season four finale/fifth season opener was more of a let-down between fantastic buildup to disappointingly-flat, that's not saying very much. I mean there was angst and trembling blue eyes and so forth, but other than that, really. It was awful.

04:08 pm: Optician and Dentist
I booked to have my eyes tested before Redemption, and to have my teeth examined after.

...how many cupcakes was you thinking of taking to Redemption, Yonmei?

Lots.

Okay. But you don't need to eat them all, do you?

*is innocent* No, certainly not. About a third of them will be designated for people who love gluten-free cake, one third for vegans, one third for ROOM PARTY.

Okay. But how many of them will you be eating, yourself.

*is totally innocent* Hardly any, really.

Hm.
