Hey, everyone, I'm back from NC. What a great week in the mountains. My son and I took inflatable kayaks on whitewater on the Nantahala River. What a blast! A raft is much safer but not as much fun. I took the last two-part waterfall forward on the top part, backward over the lower part... and lived to tell about it. (Always better than sideways, according to the kayakers.) Our family had our first scavenger hunt competition, girls vs. boys, in this tiny town. Girls won, of course. Boys had to serve lunch to the girls. I could get used to this real fast. They've challenged us again for next year. As much fun as that was, I'm so glad to be back to convenient and reliable internet, ice cream notwithstanding, and Laramie.

Louise, I know that tooth pain can be the most pervasive there is. Nothing feels good until you get it under control. Here's hoping you get plenty of rest and proper treatment. We all want you to be in the best of health!

Okay, here's my weekend update on locations. Added a couple last week:

If you don't see your name on this list and want to be added, you can post it – I'll read it, trust me – or PM me. I'll let you know that you're on the list and post it on weekends. Question marks indicate guesswork. Set me straight! So to speak.

Update to "Shelter From the Storm"

http://louisev.livejournal.com/96072.html  "Chapter 78: New Hires"

Between the beginning of this chapter and the middle I went back down to the mouth and jaw clinic and had an incision made because I have an abscess in my gum.  Apparently after the anesthesia wears off I will feel much better since the infection will have a place to drain, and the swelling should ease off.  Disgusting isnt it?  But I have to say... after reading a few people saying how Ellery being a marksman and a good shot is a turn on, there is something about a fearless surgeon getting in there with a scalpel and just cutting away for the greater good that I found sort of sexy.  I know... I must be delirious.  But holy hell, could that boy cut!

Louise, I agree with you... surgeons are sexy as hell.  They go in and "fix" things themselves... Of course, they can have pretty big egos too.

and that is I think all I have in me tonight.  I am hoping to get a little sleep with an ice pack on my face and be up for my meds at 4 a.m. (which is 10 east coast time) if anyone wants to check in and say hi!
