3 lefts make a right.

It feels to me as though 2008 was the year of hesitance, rethinking and adjustment, and 2009 is the year of execution. Already things have been happening and the wheels are in motion.

I went to my dental surgery consultation this week. I heard some good news! The gap where my missing tooth is is wide enough for implant, and the surgery date has been set for the 27th of this month! I'll be getting my dental implant, finally... Hopefully I won't need bone grafting. Gross.

Basically, I'm told that my jawbone has already receded, but thanks to technology, I might not need bone grafting. They're going to put me out on surgery day, open me up, see if I need grafting. If I do, they'll do the grafting, then I have to wait 6 months for the bone dust to solidify before the implant can happen. Otherwise, I get the implant and within 4 months (hopefully), the braces come OFF!!! Cross your fingers for me, baby! I'm going to Hollywood! Been there, done that. Nothing special.

I am now officially a designer in the creative team at my work, instead of production. Gold. It's a lot of adjustments, but hopefully it's nothing I can't handle, with a little help and time.

Since work started again in the new year, I feel like I haven't stopped or slept much at all. I've been pretty busy with life and catching up to things I need to do, catching up with friends after the holidays. I finally took down the Christmas tree tonight, and packed some more old stuff into the basement. I don't think I'll have much time for anything else the rest of the month. A bit of partying tomorrow night, surgery and recovery on 27/28, then before you know it, February's here.

Can't wait for the weather to warm up a bit more. I've been itching to get on my bicycle.
It's going to be a good year.
