face update:

what's new in my mouth, you ask?

well:

• there's a tooth coming out
  
• I have to go for a consultation regarding my jaw
  
• my dentist thinks I'm in for more intense surgery than I was planning
  
• flossing continues to be a huge pain
  
• the dental assistants think it's nine kinds of funny to suggest I get ridiculously colored ones
  
• If I have a short time between appointments, I just might.
  
• or one I just thought of: going yellow and purple come Fair time.

actually it's a terrible idea and there's no way I'm going to get anything but the neutral ones, but I thought you'd all enjoy the mental image.
