You’re still here?

I haven’t been in a blogging frame of mind thanks to a raging toothache and allergies. Instead, I’ve found myself living in Beyond Compare (programming tool for comparing different versions of the same file/folders) as I work to update one of the primary apps I run on another site. Allergies and a toothache don’t really mesh well with coding, but I’ve been slogging through just the same. Tomorrow, I’m going to call the dentist — it’s to the “Cannot delay any longer!” stage, now. The annoying thing is I saw the dentist months ago for the particular tooth, and he just buffed out a rough edge on the old filling and sent me on my way. I gave him the benefit of the doubt that the occasional pain it was giving me was just irritation, not a cavity. Sure enough, it’s a raging cavity. I can tell this one’s going to be a root canal by the way the pain spikes and subsides to a dull, background sort of pain.

Justin and I had a fun evening planned on Tuesday, but those plans were hosed when the rental aircraft we were going to use became unavailable. Of course, the flight center didn’t call Justin to let him know beforehand; he and a co-worker wasted time and energy getting out of work slightly early, only to have the flight scrubbed. So much for “customer service”!

Here’s to better days and less pain all around…
