When Today Was When I Felt Like Crap
Well, there was yesterday too, but I guess it’s carried on over to today. Yesterday, I had the joy of going to the oral surgeon’s to remove a wisdom tooth. I hate going to any sort of dentist, surgeon or not, because I know that no matter what, I will experience some sort of pain from either the shot of the Novocaine, or the drilling and sometimes, I’ll get both because s/he didn’t give me enough Novocaine. So yes, I walked into the nice and pretty office, sat on the chair with my mouth held open by a clamp as he yanked, drilled, and cut my tooth out.
The pain was unbearable yesterday, so I had to take a few codeine pills to make me feel better. Unfortunately, that did the opposite. As it cleared the pain in my mouth, I soon felt a pain in my stomach and head (I ate beforehand, I swear!). My throat was abnormally dry too and my cough drops did little help out.
Today, I went to work and realized that my hand hurt… a lot. Well, I’ve been noticing that it hurts a little in the joint for a few days now, but today was just horrible. I couldn’t push back the books on the shelves without my joint acting up on me, shooting sharp pain through my nerves. Hell, I can’t even tie my hair now without it hurting. And, I kind of feel sick today too. Well, not completely sick, but right now I feel really tired and sleepy like I had taken some cough medicine (which I did not do). However, I can’t go to bed just yet because there are library movies and books I need to go through so I can return them tomorrow before I head off to work.
And now that brings me to work. I can’t believe that tomorrow is going to be my last day. I really wish that I could uproot the library and take it and its people with me to Berkeley, but I can’t. Hmmm. Perhaps I can find a job at the Berkeley Public Library? I know that it’s not too far from where I’m at, but I don’t know if I’ll even have time for a damned job. So far, I’m enrolled in eight units, but waitlisted for ten. I’m not sure if I’ll get into my two-unit course since I’m waitlisted at number 28 or so and it’s a class of forty. With the other two classes, I’m sure I can get in, but it’s just a matter of whether or not I’ll get into the section slots that I want. If not… my schedule is screwed.
So I watched Wicker Park today. It was a mixture between suspense and romance. It’s about a man who once lost the love of his life; to him, she had left without saying a word, without a note, without a call. Just as he’s about to get on a plane to China for his work, he kind of runs into her. Well, he thinks that he sees her at a restaurant, but was too late to get a closer look. So he delays his trip to China in search of this woman, but while he does that he runs into this other woman, a brunette (the first woman’s a blonde) who’s got serious issues and secrets. But anyway, without giving too much away, it was nice to see a happy ending. It’s an alright movie, in my opinion. It’s not too great nor does it completely suck. It’s entertaining, that’s what it is.
Anyway, I’m off to either fall asleep while reading or continue reading. I’m not sure yet. Plus, I’ve got two videos to watch, but that would require me to leave the comfort of my room since my laptop does not play VHS. Haha.
