Hey people!
Today was pretty chill, and the weather was so nice and cool too!
I started off the day just lounging around all morning staying cozy. Then I went to the laundromat to get the weekly washing done.
I didn't go to the on-site one though, because this one a short drive away is cheaper and the machines are faster! The washing machine only took about 20 minutes, while the one here takes like 40, and the dryer was a little faster too.
When I got home, I needed to work on my tooth and a big piece of it came out! I was a little surprised at the size but happy and excited that it had broken off.
To give a bit of background, this tooth has been giving me trouble since last July. It started hurting really bad a couple days before my mom died and then after that it just got more and more painful. It got to the point where I was taking 600mg an hour of ibuprofen to deal with the pain.
Eventually the pain subsided, but a small cavity opened up. Food was getting trapped more and more, and gradually the cavity grew and grew despite my best efforts. Occasionally small bits would break off, like grains of sand. Before I knew it, this tooth was pretty much hollow and there was a good sized opening facing the front of my mouth.
A month or so ago, using a placker flossing stick thing, I was able to deliberately break off a small piece which made things easier in that food wouldn't get stuck so easily. That's what I did again today and this big piece broke off.
I'm not too concerned because this is a wisdom tooth that really shouldn't be there anyways, so if it's going to come out it's fine by me, my mouth is crowded enough.
Since the weather was so nice I was in the mood to make a nice hearty beef stew.
Lots of veggies and onions, along with some lentils and of course some beef 馃ォ.
The perfect end to a nice day!
Now I'm just relaxing and I'm going to take a shower and get to bed shortly...
Goodnight!
