I drafted my whole article before I left, which was just as well. I finished the reading for the other article on the bus and at the dentist, which is also just as well. Everything the rest of the day was entirely enjoyable, but took up much time and I've done not a jot else, workwise. I had an hour and a half of meeting, and all the rest of the afternoon at the dentist's (where I got to see some amazing equipment and watch two caps being carved out, and those two caps will tomorrow be part of me, along with two more and my mouth will be halfway to being stable again) and the evening with friends visiting from the US.
The work on the teeth is much needed. More cracks appeared and were dealt with and so the tooth will not need removing. It did need careful recrafting and so does the cusp that digs into it. This recrafting will be finished tomorrow morning.
My dentist was really cool about showing me the reglazing and the baking and the painting and all. I find it wildly exciting that caps can be done in a back room in no time flat rather than be sent out to the dental technician and a two week wait ensue. In fact, the only reason the two caps weren't fitted tonight was because we were running so very much overtime and I had no way of ringing my friends to say how late I was. My excellent and most wonderful dentist actually drove me home so I wouldn't be an hour later still. This is the dentist whose accent reminds me of my nephew (New Jersey mixed with Australian).
I need to make all of them (the whole practice, for they are all wonderful) some matzah latkes for morning tea tomorrow. I don't know what they'll make of matzah latkes, but I want to thank them and Pesach has limited ingredients and I have even more limited time. I'm also taking some pickles, for my US-origin dentist missed NY pickles and my dental nurse adores any pickle. Yes, we spent much time talking food while my teeth were being crafted.
