Ouch

I am so sick of this effing toothache. I can’t even tell you. Five full days of antibiotics with two days still to go. It’s only just now starting to feel a little better, but not enough to make me not be sick of this effing toothache. Seriously. The country is going to run out of Tylenol if this toothache crap doesn’t end soon.

Random thought number one. I haven’t had a good nights sleep in weeks. It is mostly the toothache’s fault. That’s not the point of this random thought though. One of the rules following gastric bypass is that caffiene is no longer allowed. The random thought is that I miss caffiene. 

Random thought number two. Apparently today is national chocolate chip cookie day. My step daughter just went out and bought chocolate chip cookies for the family. My wife has one. My step son has one. My step daughter has one. Post gastric bypass Robbie though… I can’t have sugar. It makes me sick. Am I sad about this? No. Why? Because I have a bunch of sugar free chocolate chip cookies in my sugar free snacks stash. Let’s celebrate! 

Spider-Man

We saw the new Spider-Man movie tonight. We went as a family. All four of us. It was wonderful, both the movie and the company.

Some numbnutz on Instagram spoiled the Sadie Sink character though, after Sony and Marvel and Disney and everyone involved so diligently protected the secret.

It didn’t change the fact that I loved the movie though.

Tonight

I have seen Rush 25 times…

Sigh of Relief

Can you believe it? I am officially on vacation. See you next month, work!

My toothache is killing me. I booked a Dentist appointment yesterday but the nearest time I could get is on Monday. Good thing I am already off work, eh?

No plans for the vacation week apart from two days in New York to see Rush. Did I mention I have tickets to see Rush on Tuesday? Oh the happiness.

Okay, I am going to go take a fist full of Tylenol in the hopes that it dulls the tooth pain enough to let me sleep for a couple of hours. G’night, all.

Quiet Day

It has been a quiet Tuesday, apart from the huge thunderstorm that rolled through this afternoon and almost drown the entire state. There was some minor flooding on route 128 during my drive home. Just the odd lane that had a couple of inches of standing water. Just enough to make you think you were going to hydroplane your way right off the road.

Other than that, work was okay. The Red Sox 14 game winning streak is safe for the day as they were rained out. Bummer. I worked on some music for the 50 songs in 90 Days Challenge.

Mostly I am just starting to get psyched up for next week. I took the week off. Partly so we could go see Rush in New York, but that is only a couple of days. The rest of the time is just because my company has a max on the amount of Personal Time Off you can carry and I was just about to hit that max. Use it or lose it, you know? I’ve already worked my two days in the office so the last three days before my time off will all be working from home. I like the sound of that.

So for the most part, today has just been a kinda nothing day in a good way. Here’s hoping for more of the same tomorrow.

Long Day

Today has been a long one. It’s at least the fourth day in a row where I have failed to get six hours of sleep. That’s catching up with me in a major way. I’m working in the office and it has just been one thing after the other. We have been up to every challenge but they just keep coming.

I will be heading home in about 17 minutes. My current audiobook is going to finish before my drive does. I’m listening to The Masked Rider by Neil Peart. I think I have only read 2–3 of his books before. This is my first time through this one. It was his first. I have enjoyed it, partly for catching him using phrases that would eventually end up in song lyrics. “Time is a spiral, space is a curve.” “The Larger Bowl.” There have been a few others. 

I am always cold. I was never cold prior to weight loss surgery. Now I don’t have any insulation and I’m always cold. It is 90 degrees out today and I am in the office in the air conditioning wearing a jacket. Life is so weird right now.

Rumor has it that the fat nazi fascist piece of shit in the white house is going to try and overturn the two Georgia senate elections and throw out their two senators. If that happens we secede, right? Enough of this authoritarian bullshit.

Ugh… show me the way to go home. I’m tired and I wanna go to bed.
