Caffeine

The daily grind and then some

Sleep or Lack Of

, , ,

What a weekend, sunshine, more sunshine and a swollen face.

Here comes the start of the work week; Monday morning is allready here and I'm still working on this being Sunday. Not that I've had a lot of sleep the past two nights, I could really be saying that its all a blur since Friday.

Every tooth in my mouth hurts now, not just the one that needs work. Eating got to be such a chore that for the most part unless it was soft I avoided it.

Tylenol with codeine isn't helping much, the swelling goes up and down but for the oddest reason it is at its worst as soon as I try to sleep. Sleep has never come easily to me and this tooth makes it even harder. I do have some very powerful prescription sleeping pills and I've been taking them; there's only one problem I'm still not sleeping.

As anyone who has ever had sleepless nights knows ...if you don't sleep you get cranky.

Cranky doesn't begin to describe my current or past mood ...I'm not sure if I could describe it even if I wanted to. A mix of F&*K, S@%T, OWW, S.O.B. and a couple of longer cusses all mixed together; sounds a bit like frustration with a twist of pain.

It's Monday, hopefully someone will call me today and I'll know when this little problem will be fixed. Then I'll just have to worry about getting up the nerve to go.

I couldn't wait for them to call me ...I called them.

All I need to do is hang on for a week and everything and anything that needs to be done will be done all while I snooze away under anasthetic.

I really don't like dentists.

They like you though, and that's the important thing. A week of pain is a long time to wait. :frown:

Drugs ...lots of drugs that's how I'm surviving. Of course it all leaves me just a little bit on the zonked side.

Zonked is fun, unless you need to be attentive, productive, or competent.
