Sheesh
I had my cavity filled at 11am and the novocaine or whatever anaesthetic they used is finally wearing off. Now. At 2:30pm. I'm starving, all I ate today was applesauce because I was afraid of chewing when I can't feel my jaw. Gonna go to Chipotle I think :)
The dentist visit was at least quick today... the dentist showed me the x-rays and other results and basically said "here's some prescription flouride, please put it on your teeth once a day". I don't know what his deal is, but his right hand actually has no fingers -- he has a thumb and then just a big lump. Doesn't seem to stop him from doing dental work but it was kind of odd to notice, I didn't see it yesterday. When they gave me the needle in my gum to numb my mouth, apparently I was so tense that the lady couldn't actually get the needle back out easily, whoops. (I haaaaate needles.) But the filling itself was fairly quick and aside from hurting my neck a little keeping my mouth open, it wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be.
Spent the last hour or two looking for a few things in Carl's closet where I'm storing my crap -- notably the boxes from my D50 so I can send it to Katherine and Devin, but apparently despite that I thought I saved them, they must have gotten thrown out in the process of packing/moving. The GOOD news is that I found my baseball books box and so I have like four books to bring back to Japan and lend to Pau. I also found my photo albums box, and boy do I wish I could just autoscan everything... I think I found the photos Aiton asked me about, but I'm not sure whether I can get my computer to talk to my old scanner or not. We'll see.
Anyway, I can feel my mouth again, so I think it's time to go eat and try to run some errands. OMG only one day till Puzzle Hunt!
