My lovely grandparents are coming for my pre-op appointment on 30 May, which is awfully nice of them. Before then, I need to have the final maxillofacial model taken, which I can't do until 16 May. Oddly though, it won't be ready until 19 May, which happens to be the deadline to turn it in to my surgeon at Kaiser Santa Clara so that she can prepare the splint. So I need to pick it up in Menlo Park before work, and then drive it all the way down to Santa Clara after work. You would think the model were hiding the Crown Jewels or something. Although no doubt even the Crown Jewels could be sent through the gorram mails. I'm also fretful that I won't get to ask all my questions until a week before the surgery itself. But generally, I'm in pretty good shape about it all. Dear wonderful

tutordennis has that whole week off work, and we've had staggering offers of assistance from friends and family.I'm working crazy hours from 9-14 May, including the weekend. Besides that period of time, however, I'll now be coming in earlier during the week and leaving early on Fridays, which is stellar. I'll be trying to squeeze in lots of social time before I'm out of commission in June. I'm especially looking forward to the Dresden Dolls show, BayCon, and
shaix's birthday celebration later this month.Oh! I mustn't forget to bake cupcakes tonight. What kind shall I make?
Here's the newer -OLOGY Meme, courtesy of most everyone:
TECHNOLOGY
Q. What is your wallpaper on your computer?
This photo I took of tree branches against the sky. My screensaver is a slideshow of my other tree branch photos.
Q. How many televisions [do] you have in your house?
One.
BIOLOGY
Q. Are you right-handed or left-handed?
Right-handed.
Q. Have you ever had anything removed from your body?
Wisdom teeth (and blood, if that counts). I have everything else: tonsils, appendix, spleen...
Q. What is the last heavy item you lifted?
The Grub.
Q. Have you ever been knocked out?
Yes, in a car accident. Scary stuff. And once, I fainted during a scene, which MF found amusing (not the least of his many charms, I assure you). Looking back, I ought to have told him to take leave far sooner than I did.
BULLSHITOLOGY
Q. If it were possible, would you want to know the day you were going to die?
Yes, for time-management purposes.
Q. If you could change your name, what would you change it to?
I didn't realize that I couldn't! But no, I like my name. If I ever change my last name, I'd still keep my father's surname as a middle name.
Q. What color do you think looks best on you?
Burgundy. I usually wear browns, greys, and black.
Q. Have you ever swallowed a non-food item?
Countless times, no doubt. I seem to often find twigs and sand and whatnot in my food, much to my displeasure.
DAREOLOGY
Q. Would you kiss a member of the same sex for $100?
If I were able to approve the person, I don't see why not.
Q. Would you allow one of your little fingers to be cut off for $200,000?
No. My body's a temple, yo.
Q. Would you never blog again for $50,000?
That would be difficult, but I'd most likely say yes, put a down payment on a house, and revert to a paper journal.
Q. Would you pose naked in a magazine for $250,000?
Yes. I try not to associate nudity with morality.
Q. Would you drink an entire bottle of hot sauce for $1000?
I'm not sure I could. Much depends, of course, on the hot sauce and duration of time allotted.
Q. Would you, without fear of punishment, take a human life for $1,000,000?
No! Dude, I won't even step on an ant.
DUMBOLOGY
Q: What is in your left pocket?
No pockets today.
Q: Is Napoleon Dynamite actually a good movie?
It's a sweet ride. Actually, I found some of it amusing and most of it interminable.
Q: Do you have hardwood or carpet in your house?
Hardwood.
Q: Do you sit or stand in the shower?
Usually I stand.
Q: How many pairs of flip flops do you own?
Two.

Q: Mood?
Percolating.
Q: Listening to?
Birds and a neighbor's lawn mower.
Q: Watching?
This text window.
Q: Worrying about?
Whether all the steampunk big-wigs will point and laugh at my work, and then I'll look down and realize I forgot to put on pants, and my mother will be there telling me how disappointed in me she is, and while I'm gone there'll be a fire at my house and the Bengal will get out and wander the streets, lost and alone...oh, wait. Nothing more than usual, I suppose.
Q: Wearing?
A long brown skirt, bloomers, brown knee socks, a black gathered shirt, and my black short-sleeved Victorian shrug.
RANDOMOLOGY

The shower.
Q: What can you not wait to do?
Get the brackets off my teeth. Only seven more months to go.
Q: Do you smile often?

Yes, but if I don't know you well, rather quiet.
