I'm getting my corner teeth removed in less than an hour.
:-////
Four forward slashes to account for all four teeth. I'm happy I've kept them this long, I don't know if I'll miss them. Dentists say the future version of me that never removed them will miss being able to remove them at the right time. I hope that drinking water doesn't hurt in the next few days.
Oh, a little adrenaline rush right around the stomach. I don't get many of those these days. I've got them before bungee jumping, before skydiving, before swimming, during swimming, before interviews, before public performances, while rushing to catch a bus or train, and very often I got them when faced with an object of romantic attraction. Coding doesn't really produce adrenaline rushes. It can produce this nice feeling of momentum, like when driving fast, or bike-riding fast, or feeling very slidey while swimming smoothly, or feeling productive or... as something with momentum, in general. I'd call the former a "thrill", and the latter a "flow".
I would not state that I'm "thrilled" that I'm getting my teeth removed. It's more like something you gotta do, like change the oil in a car (not that I ever did that) or sleep every now and then. (Yes, I know sleep is supposed to be frequent and regular, but lately it just doesn't seem that way). Still, it's a one-time thing. I don't think my body's gonna grow any more of 'em corner teeth before it expires, so I might as well spew out my pre-op thoughts while I can.
Ah, 35 minutes. I might as well eat. Doctor's orders.
