NaBloPoMo 3.6: Mustn't give in to the pain
I've taken a bit of a beating today. It started with a lot less sleep and a lot more crying that I prefer in the middle of the night. I have no idea why Owen was so awake, but I'm fairly sure I still had the crib rails imprinted into my forehead midmorning. It's hard to hum on key when you keep falling asleep in the middle of the song.
Then this morning I had to put off my blood donation appointment to have a partial crown put on. A few days ago, a big chunk of one of my fillings popped out, and the hole was causing me some trouble, in spite of the actual break being painless. That hole was a food attractor, and the resulting pressure and overflossing were quite bothersome. The repair itself only took and hour (although I was at the dentist for almost two and a half) and was fairly painless, but now that the novocaine has worn off, the side of my mouth is a bit raw and sore.
After coming home and acquiring both kids, we took off to finally give a pint of the good stuff. The techs kept asking me if I was ok, which I know is standard procedure, but they seemed to ask a little more than usual. One of them finally told me I looked like I had had a hard day. Until she said that, I hadn't really thought about it that way. Of course, now that one side of my face hurts and my opposite elbow pit burns a bit from the pressure bandage, I'm starting to feel a bit pitiful. I think I'm going to go sit on the couch and veg a while.
