I had my wisdom tooth pulled this Monday, which means I'll be doped up on vicodine for New Yr's Eve, aka Today :/. I hate taking medication of any kind, including aspirin.
Despite hearing from friends/relatives getting oral surgery before, I never expected it to be that big of a deal. Well nothing lets you know better than actually experiencing the ordeal first hand. Holy shit. My cheeks make me resemble Alvin from the Chipmunks..or whichever one of the three that had fatter cheeks. Constant swelling and bleeding. I now symphasize more with the female species after experiencing what is simliar but may not even come close to that "time of the month". With my face completly bloated and throbbing, I am not inclined to do anything except be in a shitty mood. I can not fathom going through anything remotely similar once a month.
I don't expect to be doing anything exciting tonight on New Yr's Eve. Due to the hectic and chaotic changes at work during the last month, I declined to join a friend in South Beach for New Year's. Part of me wished I went, but things happen for a reason. Being alone this New Yrs Eve will help me refocus myself on what I hope to accomplish in 2004.
One of the things that pop into mind is to value what I have and keep in touch with those I care about.
