It’s been the most gorgeous weather the last few days since the new year started, and I am at home, feeling all blah with an abscessed tooth and a swollen cheek. Life is so unfair. I’ve had the balcony door open all day, and my neighbor’s wind chimes have been chiming in the wind, and OMG I wish I could leave the house for just a little while because it is just that nice out. But not while there are other people on this planet that could see me with my “new face.” I kindly asked my neighbor to go to the store for me today to pick up a few things for me, and luckily she did without laughing at me.
What really aggravates me is that I had to call in sick today, and will have to call in sick again tomorrow (unless, through a sheer miracle, my cheek deflates to its normal size overnight). I hate missing work. Even if it is the weekend.
So I have nothing to show for this weekend, besides illegally downloading movies and tv shows, watching The Lake House on Oxygen, and being on a strict diet of antibiotics, pain meds, echinacea, yogurt, bananas and water. I’m afraid of solid food, because that’s what got me into this in the first place.
