Roommate Deathwatch
I'm going to feel really bad if that title turns out to not be sarcastic.
So I meet my roommate at the bus stop and she tells me her jaw has been hurting her. It's dark out so I have to wait until we get home to have a look at it. When I do, I see that there's a lump under her jaw the size of a golf ball!
Now, in what I think of as a sane household, this story would end with an emergency trip to the dentist and humorous anecdotes about what she was like under anesthesia followed by griping retelling of her misery as the pain returned tomorrow. What do I have to go through instead? Half an hour of arguing about how she can't possibly miss any work this week and she'll see if she can make an appointment on Saturday!
Whu... but tha... GEEZE!!!
So while I wait to see if her gums turn black and her teeth fall out, she's chugging anti-bacterial mouthwash and taking Advil for the pain.
.... seriously, what the h#%%?
Oh, and I also made a last minute audtion for The Rimers of Eldritch prompted by lillibet and my sudden realization that the audition/performance space is only two blocks from my house! It was a fun audition to do. Good luck to all who tried out!
