I've thought for a few days that the extraction site in my mouth is infected. Today, it's painful enough that I'm having trouble eating because my tongue rubs against my gums there and it hurts! Time to see the dentist.

They're open a half day today so I'm leaving work at eleven. Fortunately, my manager is cool and will let me work from home during the afternoon so I don't have to burn any PTO. Cheers for being able to work in my underpants (I probably won't because it's like stupid-cold out there. Windchill today is projected at a possible negative thirty-five!). [And heck; even if it was warm enough to sit around unclothed, I'd probably be wearing less than underpants anyway.]
