I went to bed early and had many dreams. I felt like I was getting up every 90 minutes or so, but I think some of my getting up was dreaming. I did get up and put my beans in the fridge before midnight. That definitely happened. At one point, I felt like I was in bed awake, hearing noises that kept me from falling asleep, and then I felt pressure like someone had jumped on the bed on top of me, and then it was a dream of Ambrose.
I got up at the alarm and showered. Then I did my eye drops. I finally finished off the prednisolone. Down to just one drop three times a day. I hope it’s doing what it’s supposed to be doing. My headache did go away overnight, so that was good because I needed to drive today.
I worked through the morning, trying to catch up on the emails from Monday. Then it was time to get my hair cut over my lunch break, and then drive to Weiser for my dental appointment. I made myself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch during my morning break, but I forgot to grab it before I left for my haircut, so I didn’t end up eating it today.
I had time before my appointment to stop at the grocery store in Weiser and a gas station. Then it was time for the dentist. I was going to try to do it without numbing, but then a piece of the temp crown got stuck so we got me numbed up so he could drill that bit off. Then he worked on getting the permanent one to fit. I thought it fit well the last time we checked, but now it doesn’t feel quite right. I might have to go back and get it revised somehow. The bite doesn’t feel right.
That could just be because I’m in a lot of pain overall in that area of my jaw. There were some incredible cloud formations on my drive home. I wished I could stop and take more pictures, but I only took a few close to home where I knew I could stop without causing any issues. And then I got back to work for the rest of the afternoon.
Overall, I’m feeling better physically, but I’m still exhausted. I had a protein smoothie in the afternoon. I should probably have something else to eat before bed. I still need to exercise. I’m going to do mostly breathing on the floor. I tried to use breathing during the dental appointment. I think it worked. It helped with the pain on the drive home.
I kind of want some toast, but I don’t want to chew anything. What would Ambrose tell me to do? Soup? Maybe. If I let it cool down more than I typically prefer that might work. After exercise.
