Busy!

I have an announcement to make. I am no longer bored at work. Sheesh. I got slammed this week. It is mostly because I will be at a meeting in Claremont on Thursday, so my coworker and I are leaving EARLY in the morning to get up there. Then on Friday, I'm flying to Houston, TX for Duncan's football game, followed by a trip to Austin to visit my cousin, Danielle and my other cousin, Christian, who is visiting the same time I am! Then I drive back to Houston for a seminar on preserving photos and audio/visual materials for archives. Should be fun!

Other interesting things I did today:

• Stood in line for an hour to vote
  
• Went to archives
  
• Made a new friend at the archives, he works in the building where the archives are housed
  
• Ate at Taco Bell for lunch
  
• Paid my bills that I couldn't afford to pay earlier
  
• Trained my student workers to do some of my job while I'm gone
  
• Went to orchestra
  

On Monday, I went to have my wisdom teeth evaluated for surgical removal. Yep. They gotta go. But I only have two wisdom teeth, the other two didn't grow in. So does this mean I'm only half as wise as the rest of you??? Wait, don't answer that.

I have a few *concerns* with having this surgery:

1. I bruise easily
   
2. I hate being in pain
   
3. They are putting me under
   
4. I have to find someone to drive me there and back, and supervise me the first 24 hours after the surgery is done
   
5. There is no good time for me to be in pain for any extended period of time
   
6. I will have to pay about $400.00 to have the surgery. Basically, this means that I'm PAYING MONEY to be in pain. Ironic, isn't it. Do you think I have this kind of money? No. Can I save this much before surgery? Maybe, if I make some major adjustments to my budget, and/or if I decide to take on more debt.
   

Surgery is evil.
