toothsome addition to my life

Spent an hour in my dentist's clutches today, getting four cavities filled on the right side of my mouth. Will have two more filled tomorrow on the left side of my mouth.
Public Service Announcement #2: Kids, no matter how much your gums swell and bleed when you do it, floss your teeth daily. Or you will be screwed over one day with 6 cavities between your teeth...which are the WORST kind of cavities to be filled.

This summer has proven to destroy my lofty expectations of writing reams of prose and producing dozens of exquisite pieces of silver jewelry.
I've suffered severe writers' block for the past two months, and I've produced only three complete pieces in my jewelry class so far, and am about to finish a fourth. I'll only have time for one more, two if I'm lucky. It's been fun though. Once my sister and I get our equipment - a very large joint Christmas present - we'll be able to make a lot more, since we get to use it more than once a week for three hours.

But I have gotten a lot of sleep in. And a cute pair of Miu-Miu glasses for reading and close-up work. So, this summer hasn't been a total waste.
