Mission Impossible, Day 3-5 of 26: Wisdom Teeth and Agents

MY MISSION
To survive 26 days off $184.66. This is Day 5

So my top wisdom teeth were removed on Wednesday. I probably had the easiest extraction ever, and my friends who had much worse experiences tell me I should feel guilty. I was in and out of the office in under thirty minutes, I have no pain, and no swelling. I was given nitrous oxide, so I enjoyed the actual extraction.

Last Friday I passed the first 100 pages of my book to a friend, who passed it to her agent at Writer's House. The agent got back to me on Tuesday and said he liked it and wants to see the whole thing when I get the second draft finished. I'm blowing all my vacation to get it finished (HOPEFULLY!!!) by the end of July. I know it's not a guarantee, and I'm not getting hopeful, but I feel incredibly validated right now.

Anyway, wrt the spending: $2.00 cup of coffee and $15.00 celebratory drink. I know, that put's me a little behind, but screw it. I went out with a friend who was just promoted to editor at her paper, and we both had something to celebrate. I drank cheap beer, if that makes a difference :)
