desperanceDidn't I make a resolution a while back, that this blog was going to be Relentlessly Positive? Whatever happened to that...?
That just gone was a terrible night, that was. Just the kind you do not want, before heading off across the country and around the world. Call it booklag, call it stress, call it sickness: whatever you call it, I barely slept at all and I feel - well, pretty much as you would expect a man to feel after a sleepless breathless night.
Also, my teeth hurt. I have mentioned before, I think, that I have terrible teeth? But over the last year I've had relentless pains that move around for indetectable reasons. They cost me a tooth in the lower left that was apparently fine once he'd pulled it; for the last month they've been settled lower right, on a tooth that was root-filled twenty years ago and has again nothing observably wrong with it. Last night they shifted to the upper right, where I have a bridge of long standing. This morning it is specifically and exceedingly sore, the tooth that supports that bridge. I'm terribly anxious about it; I'm fairly sure it's going to come off, probably in mid-flight tomorrow. If I don't swallow it and choke, then we'll have all the fun of emergency dentistry in a foreign land, oh joy.
Or of course the nasty pain could just migrate again, but... Well. I'm not confident.
*whimpers*
Now I must pack, yes. And organise. And do all those things I didn't do yesterday, because I was writing. Writing! How did that happen...?
