A dull, constant pain

In case any of you are wondering, the wisdom teeth removal went well and now there's just this dull constant pain, like my bones are healing or something. I dunno what's going on. Maria does. I keep asking her questions and she continues to tell me that everything is going as normal, so I think that's good. This afternoon we're off to Philly for a follow-up visit and then some serious walking around town. Maria has not been down to South Street yet, so she'll need to see that specatcle.

We've been doing a whole bunch of shopping lately for the trip to Hawaii. This includes, but is not limited to, Hawaiian shirts, flip-flops, shorts, more shirts, skirts, sandals and a pair of beach towels. Also, as brown people do in fact tan -- see lower arm compared to upper arm -- we have procured some sunscreen.

It also turns out that my bosses here seem to like me enough to want me to stay in Lancaster until the end of 2005. Not sure how that's going to work with Maria hopefully starting up college (someplace) in the fall of 2005, but the job security is good for now. Especially considering that the home office of my company is laying off people since there's not as much work. Plenty to do here, though.

Since I'll be staying at home, I think this means I'll have to finally do something with the Vespa. My vote is to dig it out of the garage this weekend and take a bunch of photos for EBay. I'll get the money back and uh, maybe get one that works. Heh.
