Sunday night - Bitching to follow
Aug. 26th, 2002 12:36 amI'm so sleepy I can barely keep my eyes open. I should convince the hubby that it's bedtime, but if I do that, then I have to go wash my face and brush my teeth now.. and teeth brushing is major torture at the moment. I thought, when last I mentioned my wisdom tooth achiness, that it was just a bit sore and would go away.. but instead has degenerated into two and a half days of a throbbing jaw that is barely able to open enough to put food into. It took me a full half an hour to eat a package of Ramen noodles for lunch, for example. I was sure I was mostly done with the whole wisdom tooth thing, my sophomore year of college. Guess I was wrong.
It's also caused me to be somewhat grumpy and to feel sorry for myself all weekend. It didn't quite ruin Couples Day.. we went to Mt. Sterling to Applebee's for dinner (mental note: no more eating out until jaw is better, as look idiotic eating so gingerly and slowlly.) But it did sorta kill the romance of the whole thing, as I've been less than talkative (hurts to move jaw, and all) and somewhat sullen. (Also, waking up all night from aforementioned toothache did not help matters). Magnus has been an angel, though. Even if he did offer me gum once. ;)
But! We did something really good! Who knows which idiot designed a home without an overhead light in the livingroom, but we have one. There are.. six lamps and a rope light on top of the bookcase, and there's still not enough light. You can deal with it for the room in general, but all the pretty stuff in the bookcase faded into the black background. So we bought little spotlight type things and installed in the top of the glassed shelves. We rearranged the stuff to catch the light better, and now it looks, if I do say so myself, incredibly cool. We have a thing for collecting neat glass stuff. I'm positive that we'll only get worse once we have a) more space and b) more money.
I just found out that the tenth Wheel of Time book is now scheduled to be released in January instead of November. This really sucks, as my reading of the books is now definitely too early, and besides, I'm looking forward to reading it NOW!
Goals for tomorrow: laundry, paperwork, possibly groceries. And now.. bedtime. Yay!
