I am scheduled for dental surgery on Tuesday so I am writing and editing Link Love ahead of schedule. Hopefully, all goes well and I will just be all “Thanks, Past Ana! Now you can sleep late on Wednesday.” But, on the chance that I am completely high on Tylenol with Codeine, enjoy Link Love and be sure you brush your teeth, floss and get regular cleanings.
Update: I did not get the dental procedure done yesterday. They postponed the surgery until next week so I have more time to worry and basically be a mess of stress and nerves. So you might hear about this again next week. Apologies for that now, but you have been warned.
