I'm doing fine as far as the tooth goes. I don't like the taste in my mouth that comes from the temporary aluminum thing they put in, and it bumps painfully on my upper teeth, but I can live with that for a few weeks! Other than that, I am pain free, except for the usual sinus pain that troubles me when it is cool and rainy -- like it is today.

I'm doing fine in other ways as well; I think I am catching up, in spite of the attempts of my Ruling List of Doom to get the better of me. Even if I am deluded and I am not truly catching up, at least I am less stressed about it!

I'm getting lots of opportunities at work to do different kinds of writing. One article I have been asked to do is about the transition I have experienced over the past couple of years. I am thinking of writing that article based on the example of Bilbo and his pocket hankerchiefs -- if I am brave enough to use an example from Tolkien to illustrate a point in a mission newsletter!

I think I am brave enough, hehe!
