So $1800, three rounds of anesthetic (par for the course, I numb poorly) and a case of the shakes from the anesthetic (a first) I have 2 temp crowns and don't go back until next year.

Woy.

Gonna start the soup now. Maybe by the time it is done, I'll be able to feel my tongue and half my face. Glad I swam early, no way I'd be up for it now.

Garden Noam Chomsky

heh.

Bwah! If I had the spare cash...

Uhg, and now the throbbing is starting.

I hope you feel better sarameg. I too, am a poor numb-er, and coming down from the novacaine sort of makes me sick and weird in addition to the tooth stuff.

I did not take internet breaks in an effort to be better at work, but otherwise did what I was planning on and was vaguely chipper, and my boss seems happy. We have our first weekly meeting tomorrow, in which I tell her everything I did for the past week (except, because of vacation, it has only been 2 days). It was really unfortunate that I had vacation just then, because I think I could have nipped the written warning in the bud if I was there.

Of course, next week I am scheduled for jury duty. In the murder capital of upstate NY. I feel that I will be picked because I am pretty sure that they are desperate for jurors.

I gave up with an hour to go and came home and am taking one of everything in an attempt to forestall and divert this migraine. The strange Imitrex side effects have begun. One doctor tried to tell me they didn't exist, which isn't nice of her.

Sara, do you have pain medication for the throbbing, or will you be waiting it out?

What annoying timing, Sophia.

Just wait it out. Advil will take care of most of it, and it's actually subsiding without (though will see what happens when I eat.) My jaw will be pretty sore for a few days, and I got a dried-out-tongue sore that'll also take a few to resolve.

I'm still waiting for my lip to unthaw so I can eat (which is also so weird, because that was the only one that got a single shot.) So I vacuumed and mopped. My kitchen is clean and dinner is waiting for me to be able to eat it. And I found 15 toy mice hidden under the couch. And I swear I cleaned under there a couple weeks back.

the tree IS going up tonight.

Very industrious, sara. Me, I'm just catching up on the internet and then lying down. And I'm not sure why it's in that order. I did grocery shop on the way home, but it started raining hard so I put off the pharmacy run until tomorrow. Rain or shine, pain or shine, shit gets done Tuesday.

Kelsey Grammer cancelled his own show. I only pay attention because Jordan Hinson, from Eureka, got a job on it and she's close with Colin. So now she's unemployed because he didn't like his own work and couldn't fix it. Seems even more unfair than someone else killing it, somehow.

I also notice that Twilight got knocked off #1 by a schmaltzy rich-helps-poor white-helps-black sports-success Sandra Bullock movie. I wonder if any of the same people saw both movies.

I have a hard time sitting still before 8 pm now. It's a thing.

Man, eating is weird. One muscle in my chin is still awol, and a stringlike line of muscle in my tongue. So everything works, just oddly.
