O no
I am getting three of my four wisdom teeth out tomorrow after years worth of intermittent pain as they have erupted.
Despite not being a worrier by habit, I am really nervous about tomorrow. It will be the first surgery I have ever had, and although it is fairly minor, it's still surgery! I worry more because I have SVT, a mostly straightforward heart condition that just means my heart gets off beat sometimes. My dentist knows about it and has dealt with it before. I believe they will even be prepared with meds in case I need them. However, the strange and gloomy spectre of death lurks at the back of my mind... especially since I am a parent now. Yes, yes, there is such a miniscule chance of anything even seriously detrimental to my health happening that this worry may seem extreme to you. Indeed, I laugh at my fear half the time. It's just a combination of what I would consider mental hurdles for me: never having been to the doctor much, never having had surgery, being a parent (and all, all, ALL that entails), and having lost enough people to be aware of/fear everyone's mortality including my own.
Oh yeah, and it kinda pisses me off that I will be losing an entire day of my life to sedation! What a waste!
Eh, I'll be fine.

My Own NaNoWriMo
Really fast, cuz I wanna go play Sims 2 with limited free time: I didn't end up finishing... or really doing much of NaNoWriMo due to many many circumstances but largely because of depression. I feel like I am coming out of it now and really want to finish NaNo. SO, I have decided to have my OWN National Novel Writing Month in January! Brandon and I were laughing about how strange it is to have NaNo in November when it seems the holiday season is just picking up and the sickness season is beginning and everyone is busy. And why on earth do they not have it in a more boring month, like, say, January or March or really almost any month in the beginning of the year?!
I was going to do it in December but realized I wanted to relax and enjoy my Christmas without the stress. So January it is. I'll try to keep a running word count on here. A little disappointed... or a lot.... that I didn't get the award screen and possibly even t-shirt from finishing in November.... but oh well. Anywho, hope it works in a month.

Critters
I am thinking it is time for a pet! Bowen is at an age that he knows when to be gentle and listens to my instructions pretty well. Winter is coming and we are going to be cooped up indoors, in need of some extra fun and activity. He has been asking sweetly for a puppy dog for a long time, but we can't get one for many reasons. Most importantly, I don't want to coop up a dog, too. Most need lots of room to move, run, explore, and we can't offer that in a little apartment. Also, as I mentioned, winter is coming, and we would have to walk it outside in the cold alllll the time. Especially to let it go potty. I have heard you can litter box train dogs, but I think with a toddler who I am already trying to potty train I don't want to be doing the same for another living thing!
So, I have read a few articles and thought about solutions and have concluded we may get a guinea pig or a rat! Both are very friendly, become loyal and loving to their owners, like to be held and petted, don't usually bite unless provoked (unlike hamsters and gerbils), and are appropriately small for the size of our living quarters. A few drawbacks: cleaning cages when I have a lot to clean already, buying cages, toys, food, etc., rats are highly social and need other ratty companions which would require buying more than one, need to rat/guinea pig-proof the areas of the house we are going to play in, space needed for cage in already cramped quarters, eventual death of said pet resulting in toddler sadness.
Anywho, thoughts are much appreciated if anyone has anything to add! I really want a pet because they bring so much joy! I know Bowen and I would have fun with some small furry creatures!!! I think, first, though, I might take Bowen to the pet store and see if he can really handle it well.
