Everything In Between

So I’m headed to the periodontist today. That’s the dentist who will be spending a good hour or so today cutting my gums open and drilling into my jaw bones to create a pocket where he can lodge a small metal implant that will hopefully hold a crown for my upper-right canine tooth. I’m really not looking forward to this today.

Yesterday, I got to bed at around 8:30 PM. I had spent the previous night awake because I had woken up at six in the afternoon on Monday. I had to stay awake for all of Tuesday because I can’t afford to be tired at the periodontist’s today.

Unfortunately, I still didn’t get as much sleep as I would have liked. I have a small but persistent eczema rash on my thigh that itches like hell. (It still does!) It woke me up at around one in the morning and I had a lot of trouble falling back asleep. Nevertheless, I did manage to sleep for a few more hours until about four in the morning.

I was starving, so I made myself some garlic and herb risotto and did the dishes. Now I’m waiting for the banks to open so I can deposit a few checks (which I need to do urgently) and then I’ll head out to the morning’s periodontist appointment. Augh.

On the brighter side, I’ve been somewhat productive lately, managing to continue work on my own web site as well as start the outlines for a whole new one (also of my own). I have been learning a ton about various things lately and was extremely proud of my little PHP script which implements a hierarchical navigation system based on solid URI design. One of the reasons I’m so impressed with myself is because I’m coming up with more and more solutions to problems quickly and easily that utilize fundamental principles in clever ways—the sign of truly complete understanding.

Yesterday, I assembled both of my cabinets. I put the black one in a corner of my bedroom and the white one in a corner of my living room, for now. Here’s the white one. (Yes, that’s toilet paper on top of it.)

I have no idea what to put in it for the time being. I’ve got a lot of work to do to get this place really set up nicely. I’m not even really that motivated to get myself any furniture because I spend all my time sitting at my computer coding or reading or doing something online. Though I would definitely like to be able to set up a nice server rack somewhere in here.
