I'm feeling a lot better...
My air conditioning is still out (no one's even started working on it, grr) but overall I'm feeling tons better.
The first reason is because I saw a dentist today and got my tooth looked at. The dentist was pretty sure at first it was an abscess, but it just turned out to be a really nasty infection. My whole cheek is swollen up, very visibly. But I got pain/antiswelling meds and antibiotics, so I'm happy. I don't hurt, and soon I'll be able to sleep on my right side again, yay!
The second reason is a bit of perspective. I called my mom to talk to her and she told me about what happened to -her- this weekend: There was a lot of flooding because of the hurricane, so she asked my dad to go down and check the basement-- there was several feet of -raw sewage- in the basement.
They lost hundreds of books and CDs, etc... I'm not sure if the computer is ruined or not but I would bet it is. My grandmother lost all her love letters from her dead husband... that part makes me so sad. I feel so terrible for her.
My mother started crying while she was talking to me, saying how she'll never get the sight out of her head, and upset about all the things they lost. I'm going over this weekend to help them clean up.
So yeah, as bad as this last month has been, -that- could have happened. So I'm feeling like maybe things aren't so bad.
