Today was a good day. I spent almost the whole day puttering around in the yard poking in the dirt and taking photos of plants. There were housework things I should have been doing, but I really needed a good long day out in the sunlight. I’ve barely been outside at all for a week, and that’s unusual for me!
Then I came in and took a nice long shower and had a nap until Lin came home from work. I didn’t really need any more sleep, since that’s about all I have been doing, but I was just so relaxed from all that puttering, my body felt like Jello. I certainly didn’t want to end a perfectly good day doing housework. :D
The best thing was that my teeth didn’t hurt all day, so I got to take a break from taking any kind of pills. That didn’t last long though, as they hurt like hell when I woke up from the nap, so back to the pills I went. At least I got to feel normal for a day. Take blessings where you find them.
Tomorrow, I really do need to get some cleaning done around here. I think I am going to have my mom come over to babysit me for the first few days after the surgery, and while I know she will totally not care if the house is a complete wreck, I’d at least like to make the effort for it to look like a house and not a pigpen. We haven’t decided for certain she’s going to come over, but it might be best if she does. I suck at taking care of myself when I don’t feel good, and Lin can’t stay home with me. It might be nice to have someone bring me my soft foods and be there to listen to me whine. One thing my mom is really, really good at is pampering sick people. I’ll get to return the favor later this year when she goes in for cataract surgery. I am not so great at pampering sick people, but I’ll do my best. Mostly, I think she’s just going to need moral support. She’s a little freaked out about having that done. Don’t blame her, as I would be too.
The codeine is really kicking in now. I’m feeling entirely too woozy to be sitting upright. Must be time to go slump on the couch and watch a little TV before drifting off to some more sleep.
Thirteen days and counting until Dental Day.
