Woke up late
Without meaning to, I woke up around 1pm. I slept through the night ok. I don’t know why I slept so late. I just couldn’t get up. I have a bad toothache. It has been hurting the past few days but today it is really bad. I took some ibuprofen but it hasn’t done anything so I took some pain meds. I am waiting for it to work.
I wanted to go out to get some burgers but had no energy. I made some hot dogs. The first bite I took set off some wicked pain in my tooth. I also made some baked beans. It kind of exploded in the microwave and I had a mess to clean up. I don’t think I will be eating anything more today. It is just too painful.
Yesterday I called SSA to see if they could update my record to male and was told I had to go in the office with the necessary documents. Fucking A. Walking to the office is a bitch. It’s like half a mile from the station. But there is now a Starbucks there so I can get some decent java on the way there. I wanted to call the therapy place but never did. I didn’t call today either. Maybe I will tomorrow.
Pain meds finally kicked in and I am having minimal pain. I know it probably will come back when the meds wear off. What sucks is that it is on my right side of my face and I sleep on my right side. My face is slightly swollen. I need to find a dentist that will do some work without charging me a lot of money for it. I really should look into a dental school for care. I need to call them and I hate making phone calls.
I have nothing to do this week. I see the social worker at my PCP’s office Thurs. It’s just a check in. I should read my textbook. I have been feeling off the past few days where I don’t feel like do anything. I just want to lay down. It is so hard for me to do things. Last night after the game, I had a hard time going to sleep so I read Moby Dick. I took a trazodone and it worked quicker than expected. I wanted to read to chapter 100 but after chapter 98, I had to go to sleep. I probably will be done with the book by the end of the month. I have 36 chapters left.
