- Went to the dentist to get a filling. Bright side: half-day at work. Downside: dentist.

- Work was fairly shitshow-y, even when I was only there for four and a half hours. Manager's computer has been down for two days now, and their pseudo-fix lost a lot of her files that she needs access to, so she's still been struggling to get anything done. Yesterday was clearly also a shitshow, judging by just how much texting there was, ha.

- Due to the dentist appointment (despite being more than 3.5 hours ago), about a quarter of my face is completely numb. Parts are pins-and-needlesy, parts are totally numb and feel like rubber. Miserable. 0/10 stars. But 10/10, didn't feel anything during the "getting a filling" part, so it's okay.

- Though I'm fucking STARVING, and don't want to try and eat anything for fear that I will bite the hell out of my tongue. (I think a bit of feeling may be returning...)

- Internet is out at the apartment. Alex said it went out earlier today, and it was still out when we got home. Apparently it's a wider service outage, which sucks.

- For several months my phone just randomly drops service, or gives me the equivalent of cellular dial-up speeds. It's fairly random, but of COURSE it was the case at home today, so I couldn't even use my phone for brief internet.

- So we're at a Starbucks so I could do the bare minimum "stuff I want done on the internet" real quick. Though I can only taste my latte with half of my tongue.

- I wish the kind of smarmy sounding smooth R&B playing in this Starbucks was about half as loud as it is. It would be perfectly fine easy background music, but it's way too loud. I feel like certified old person complaining about "turn the damn music down", but come on.

- When we go home, will I use the lack of internet to encourage me to write for the first time this week? Or will I binge read Sleep No More? I know which I WANT to do, and I know which I really SHOULD do, lol.

Ughhh the dentist. That numbness for HOURS afterward is such a pain in the ass. Glad the filling is over with, though.

Yeaaaah. I really do like my dentist, and I'm really grateful that I was finally able to get the damage of 10+ years without dental care and 5+ years of homelessness dealt with. But I still don't like having to go to the dentist, ha.

The long-lasting numbness is so annoying! Again - so much better than feeling the filling itself, but still annoying to deal with for hours after. But I am glad it's done! Hoping not to need to deal with another for quite a while.

Glad the filling went well, though the numbness lasted forever. Boo for not being able to taste the latte, and having to go to Starbucks in the first place because your internet was down.

Guess: You read instead of writing, which is exactly what I would've done, too, lol!

Yes, same here! I'm glad it went well and was pretty easy... the hours of numbness after just get so annoying!

As does the internet not working.

Haha, for better or for worse, the internet actually came back up shortly after we got home, so we wound up watching TV. I read a very little, and tried to write, but couldn't get the words in my brain to happen on the page, which was annoying so I gave up, lol.

That sounds like a miserable day. I hope you night off from the internet is good, whether it's productive or restful or entertaining.

It was kind of a stupid day. I feel like there've been too many stupid days lately!

The internet actually came back shortly after we got home... and I failed at productivity, haha.
