Teeth and Life
The husband is sleeping in the other room and I am sitting on my computer once again stuck in that everlasting debate of whether or not I want to write my essays to finish my classes. Technically they end in a couple of weeks, I should try to get my assignments done now and make my life easier but for some reason I can’t bring myself to write the stupid essays. My husband had six teeth pulled today, they knocked him out and he had four wisdom teeth taken as well as two other teeth that were causing problems. I am happy to finally have them taken care of but now comes the whole recovery process which may or may not be tough. For now he is sleeping on and off but he says it is hurting a bit, hopefully that is just a basic pain that will go away soon. He is still bleeding so he won’t eat which he needs to do so hopefully the bleeding stops soon, supposedly it should only last a few hours. He has also said that while the numbness in most of his face is gone he is still numb in the lower left half of his jaw, that means that the nerve was most likely hit and I am really hoping that wears away soon and is not permanent damage. It is a risk, sadly, especially the way his teeth were looking in relation to the nerve on the Xrays but still, that would suck to have for the rest of his life.
I have a headache….verging on migraine I think. I have no idea what is causing it…dehydration, lack of sleep, improper eating, stress…so many things to choose from, maybe a little bit of everything. Hopefully it fades away soon and all can be good but who knows. I have also noticed that today is going relatively slowly, it is sad, it would be nice if it went a bit faster or if hubby could actually be awake to get a little bit of quality time in but I won’t pester him. I will try to make this recovery as easy for him as possible even if I had to deal with getting my teeth pulled alone…I think I am still bitter…
I need to get everything back on track. I think I may have my money a little more on track than it was, I very possibly will end this month with a bit of extra cash but I think I will use whatever I have and put it toward that useless extra car payment. Eventually we will get that stupid thing paid off and have a tiny bit of extra money. My raises should kick in soon which will help, hubby is making more with the recent promotion so that will be awesome so with all of that, for once, money is actually kind of doing ok. I need to get back on track with dieting and exercise, I still, for some reason, just can’t find the motivation for it. I have been eating a bit better and that is at least a step but I am not doing as well as I should. We keep getting caught with stress and not enough money because it costs a lot to eat healthy. I need to figure out easy healthy recipes and cheap ways to shop. School is pretty much the last thing to get in line. I am reaching the point where soon I may have to get into real classes which will be a bit more difficult. Online classes are awesome because it works around your schedule but now I will have to work in full time work, a job and a real life….doable but not easy. I also need to work in volunteer work and everything else I need to keep my career going strong. Looking at what I have complete I should have my Associate’s Degree pretty soon, withing 2 or 3 classes maybe and from there I need to very quickly figure out my next step. I am looking into commissioning and becoming an officer so obviously a Bachelor’s is required but the question is in what? I want a degree I will have a use for but will also make it easy enough to commission. I have an appointment for next week to talk to the education office and hopefully that will help me figure out what I am doing. I also get to take a 3 hour placement test because I never transferred my AP test scores so I have to take math and English again but I can take some basic easy classes and it won’t be too bad, though I may just test out so I don’t have to mess with it at all. Usually I like taking the classes, I get exposed to new, interesting books with English and generally enjoy classes a bit more, but I have taken these already so why repeat them?
