Well, I am not as wise as I was....

Friday morning I had all four of my wisdom teeth pulled. Not fun. Luckily my neighbor Paul volunteered to drive me to and from (I think that there was a little arm twisting but he is retired and wanted to go down to the airport and check on his plane anyway - he dropped me off and then came back).

I'm doing okay...but I haven't bothered to get dressed for two days either. I am thinking now that I will take "sick leave" tomorrow and not actually drive down to Bloomfield until tomorrow evening. Get all of the pain meds out of my system before I try driving. I don't feel too bad but I don't want to push it either.

I am still alive...

sorta. Work is INCREDIBLY boring right now. Working on my DAWIA certification but that is the cure for insomnia. Going to get some training on a language that I don't really want to use next week....but it could be useful I suppose.

In the meantime I continue to be amazed by the wildlife sanctuary that is my workplace. Every night this week between my office and the gate I have seen multiple deer in multiple places. For example, this evening I saw one deer about 20 feet off the roadway at one point. And within a half mile I saw a group of four or five at the edge of the trees. Before I got off the base I saw two more groups (3-5 per group). And a flock (20+) of wild turkeys. I saw another flock of the turkeys on Monday about three miles from where I saw them tonight. Might have been the same ones, they all look alike to me. And last night I saw a fox.
