Sniffles and sealing-wax

missroseroseGood morning! It's 11:45 AM, 52 degrees, sunny and breezy out, and I've woken up with the sniffles. I've had to cancel yoga and game night plans, but strangely enough, I'm still feeling pretty chipper. I suspect it's at least partially due to the weather; somehow, the sun streaming through your windows feels so much brighter and clearer when it's not shining through a 92-degree-and-85%-humidity fug.
It's been on the chilly side for a few days now, in fact, which has been a nice break from the aforementioned autumn heat and humidity. I've been enjoying making the rounds of local friends on Facebook, watching people go "Brrr, it's cold!" and commenting "You mean 'pleasantly cool', right?" (In all fairness, I'm not the only one - there's been more than one celebration of the start of hoodie season, too.) I have nothing against the heat, per se, but after a couple of weeks straight it just starts to feel oppressive.
In the words of many a Regency heroine, I'm so dreadfully behind on my correspondence. I've been intending to rectify that for some weeks now, and even went out to World Market on Monday and bought a sealing-wax kit, because I'm still ten years old and love playing with fire and wax. Sadly, they only had red wax sticks, so I'll have to wait until the next round of letters to play with multicolored seals. But still - sealing-wax! Some part of me is ridiculously pleased at this.
I'm also pleased to report that my tooth did not in fact need a crown (yet). A new filling was enough to have it feeling whole and useful again. Hurrah for being able to chew on both sides of one's mouth.
I strongly suspect today will be spent drinking tea, writing letters, and reading silly novels. And, really, I'm pretty okay with that.

Good to read that your tooth survived. I'm glad that you appear to properly value silly novels, though I confess that my own post-dental preference is sleeping for as long as possible.
