Hey there Tasties.

Just wanted to put an update here and let you know that I'm going in for surgery on the 14th. See, there's this lump under the skin on the side of my jaw, next to my right ear, and after approximately a zillion tests, they've determined that it's totally benign, it's not cancer, but it could become cancer in the long term if we just leave it there. Most uncool.

This probably won't impact my writing much, thankfully, aside from the obvious issue of not being able to do any on the 14th since they'll be keeping me for observation overnight, but I just thought I'd tell you guys since it's an important event in my life. There are of course potential side effects, some of them decidedly unpleasant, but I'd rather not dwell on those at the moment. I'll just suggest that all the people complaining about being single next week might want to keep things in perspective, since I'm celebrating Valentine's Day by getting my face cut open and risking nerve damage. :B

That's about the long and short of it, I'll be sure to update you guys and let you know how things went once I'm home convalescing. Here's hoping everything goes just fine, knock on wood. Wish me luck!

JOURNAL OVER.
