Today is the WAITING day to end all waiting days.

I'm WAITING for the go to post my story here.
I'm WAITING all day because I'm sh*tting myself about having all my wisdom teeth surgically yanked out of my skull tomorrow.
I'm WAITING for the proof copy of my first novel to bellyflop through my letterbox.

...approximate departure time for my sanity: any second now.

Help!? How do I get through today!?

Like NIKE says, just do it ... design the new post, do all the text, find a great pic that sets off your story ... that's a favourite of mine ... and even put the link ... just don't activate it!  You can even underline it and colour it blue .... they'll be clicking and clicking it ... Drive the fukkers NUTS! 

I think I'll do it!

Hey, Steph ... hehe ... I shouldn't have used the real link as an example ...  Nearly got caught by my own joke ...  Well, you get a sneak preview! 

ANYWAY ... it's already tomorrow in Australia ... I can say I got my confirmation!  It usually comes in the middle of the night, so I'm just saving time ...

I had all my wisdom teeth pulled last October. The oral surgeon said the older we get the more risky the surgery is. I'm 42; that information scared the crap out of me!

It really wasn't that bad. I didn't even need the pain medication they gave me. The worst part was the heat/cold sensitivity that followed for a few months after. 

Good luck!
