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.

What the heck?! This happened to me, today, too! I was scheduled for 3 hours of prosthodontic work today & it was rescheduled this morning!
I’d rather be fun pen or stationery twins, not dental work twins! Hope you had a relaxing Tuesday despite the extra week of anxiety & the dental work isn’t too terrible when it happens.
Sorry your appointment got rescheduled but I hope it all goes well. We can still be fun pen twins, with puffy cheeks!
