One good way to wake up is with a mirror, a suck tube, and something motorized stuck in your mouth. So ,I scheduled a dentist appointment at 8 am. Oh, I did that yesterday, so it was this morning! Yes, comical. After getting the pointy end of an ultrasonic tooth-descaler, the manual, pointier version of same (for extra poking), and then the polisher (and some bonus poking at the end), my mouth was just BURSTING with SENSATION. I mean, it felt like for breakfast I had a big bowl of crispy wheats n' tazers.

It was so great, I decided to have a root canal at 8, too! But there aren't any available till July, so I'm just hanging tough with my giant space and various broken face parts. The hygienist showed me her gold crowns, they were very pretty, light gold and white. Like a fancy hotel bathroom. Maybe I'll get through all this and have my grill all iced out.

And then on the front teeth spell out A-N-D-R-0-0 in diamonds -- Kris' helpful contribution
