Random days without posts... then several posts at a time...
Its what I do sometimes.
Ok,... technical updated list of current complaints numbered from Most On My Mind to Least On My Mind.
1. My throat fucking hurts.
Like an ass, last night I nonchalantly threw back some cold pills to swallow before bed.
They decided to go down SIDE BY SIDE!
They got caught at around the voice-box area of my esophagus and I spent the next twenty minutes in the bathroom gagging and retching, crying, moaning, drinking water and waiting for them to melt enough to stop cutting my throat up, go through the muscle at the top of my stomach and let me go to sleep.
Ok, first of all... really fucking painful. I could breathe and swallow... but my throat is really just too fucking small for them and every time peristalsis tried to tell the pills GO DOWN!! They dug their claws into the sides of my o-so-tender esophageal flesh and said, "FUCK YOU! WE LIKE IT HERE!!"
I am highly prone to choking hazards... my throat is but a tiny one. I have to very carefully chew my food and pill-taking has ALWAYS been a bitch.
Remember
this time when I almost killed myself on a DayQuil liqui-gel? I highly recommend that read if you haven't.
I am always in awe of people who can take those giant over sized donkey pill multi-vitamin. You know the ones Im talking about... the ones the size of MY THUMB.... but, people can do it. I think I have proven however, that no matter how much I would like to, I can't. I think I'd die.
My plan (to melt the pills by sipping water for 20 minutes) worked-ish (I still woke up in pain later when my stomach was trying to let those suckers in) but my throat hurts so goddamned much. Holy God, people. Ow. Nothing but yogurt and soup for me today.
2. FINALLY made an appointment with an oral surgeon.
I have been putting this off,.. FOR EV ER. I decided to say "fuck it"... if my grandma REALLY is willing to pay for it all AND pay for time off of work for me... well, there is no better time to be laid up and hating life than mid-winter. If my grandma is going to stop lording her wealth over me and actually PAY for something extremely expensive... I would be a fool not to let her. I mean, its not like *IM* coming across $30k anytime soon.
I don't personally KNOW any oral surgeons... so I decided to hook up with the team of Dr. Collins'... (father/son team) whose office is close by and when I used to work for Password, they were EXTREMELY nice, their patients spoke VERY highly of them and they were actually on call ALL NIGHT for any of their patients... so I went for them.
3. There is a problem with our bathroom sink... ie: the hot water valve started leaking sometime during Friday night. I noticed on Saturday morning when the bathroom rug was SOAKED and I opened the sink cabinet and there was standing water under there. Its been fixed today.
Today is my day off... my plans are to/were to apply to another job or two... just to see what is out there and who might want me... because I DID NOT like driving in the snow. O M G! I did "okay" but it was very scary and I do NOT like the idea of driving 100 miles PER NIGHT at work in horrible icy conditions of death. My car was not a fan of it either. I think it wanted to commit suicide.
Plus, there ARE jobs out there where I can continue to work part time, make full-time money AND not have to worry about using all my money for gas every night. Honestly folks, I pay more for gas per month than I do for rent. Fuck that. Fuck that HARD.
Consider yourself caught up.
