No doubt Macros will be uncaring but that game tonight was just awful. I dread to think where we would be without Martial this season...

Hang on a sec.... ManU lost? To West Ham?

Shit!

Yup. A win would put us ahead of the bitters with only one game left, but it was a poor game. Also, the WHU fans throwing bottles at the team bus before the game was disgraceful.

Sketchy junkie looking guy absolutely LOST it on the bus ride in to work this morning. Screeching at people for 20 straight minutes. Sometimes public transit is a pain in the ass.

Small town politics.

It doesnt matter if its Washington or my town of 5200 people.

Politicians are a pain in the ass.

On the groove because it is bittersweet ending 9 years with someone, but I am officially divorced

I can only imagine how that must feel... bittersweet sums it up. I'm glad for you that the 'official' part is over anyway. Must be so difficult - best wishes.

The main problem with public transit is that it is so very public.

Agreed. Also random umbrellas

Asian people are the worst in being inconsiderate with their umbrellas around taller people. I've had to shove umbrellas sometimes to prevent eye pokes.

This wisdom teeth extraction went OK, but gotdang, it hurts days later. Sometimes OK, sometimes not.

Walking here in the rainy season is insane. Since I am taller than most people everybody will hit me on the shoulder with their wet umbrella

About the tooth Amph, you sure everything is ok? When I got a tooth pulled, it hurt like hell for a day, but went back to normal in three

[amphibian]

Two wisdom teeth on same side. One was pulled. The other (lower) was drilled out. The lower is what gives me trouble. Upper is already 85% healed.

[Grief]

Urgh, can't shake the feeling that I've fucked up one of my exams. Who knows if that's accurate; I'm absolutely abyssmal at self-assessment. It's a totally pointless thing to think about at the moment -- I need to just focus on revising -- but I can't seem to put it out of my head properly. Blaaaaah. I'm looking forward to being finished so much that it's really shaking my ideas about going on to further study. No plan for what else I'd do ofc.

[Andorion]

Its 8 AM now, and the temperature is 32C with 75% humidity. I leave in an hour. This is going to be a crappy day

Well if it doesn't go away, maybe a follow up visit? My father had a rather bad experience with extraction (infected gum) and I am a bit leery of things not clearing up when they should

Follow up was scheduled for the 20th immediately after.

I also discovered I hate gauze in my mouth/cheek. Would rather bleed than gag periodically.

Did a fitness assessment today - passed easily. Before you ask, that's not the problem.

A couple of hours later the middle of my back started spasming and seizing up. The physio has taped it up like crazy and it's dreadfully uncomfortable. I have to wear it for a week, at which point she will re-evaluate and put another lot on if needed, I suppose. I am knocking back Ibuprofen like they're lollies.

Stupid work crap means I may have to go away for up to a couple of months. Admittedly this is the worst case scenario, but it looks like I'll probably miss the wedding of some good friends in early June, plus BOTH the local Lifeline Bookfests in June/July and early August. Arseholes.

I accidentally slept with a Twix in my pocket and it got all smashed and melted and I couldn't eat it.

You mean you didn't want to try badly enuf.

It was no longer a Twix at that point.

We don't keep a lot of medications in the house. Mostly it's just paracetamol, asthma inhalers and anti-histamines. However, I have a tub of alprazolam (benzodiazepine derivative) tablets that I am suppose to take 'as needed for panic'. In the six months that I have had the tub I have only used them twice (I prefer mindfulness to medication when it comes to managing anxiety). The tub has a childproof lid, is kept in a lock-box, the key to which is kept up on my bookshelf, and the lock-box is kept in my bedside drawer, one you have to lift up before pulling out to open. Despite this, I found Ripley in my bedroom yesterday afternoon surrounded by tablets. In the time it took me to turn on the tv, switch inputs, open Netflix and put on his afternoon tv show, he had gone into my room, gotten the key off my bookcase, opened my drawer, unlocked the lock-box, and unscrewed the childproof lid.

When I asked if he had put any of the tablets in his mouth he said 'Just one. It was yucky!' So, I called 000 and picked up all the tablets I could find only to be 22 tablets short of what should have been there.

We went to the hospital and they monitored him for several hours. He showed no signs of having ingested the tablets and he is absolutely fine. I, on the other hand, am a total wreck. I keep thinking about what could have happened. Plus, it's doing my head in trying to figure out how he managed to get to the tablets in the first place and what happened to the missing ones. Matador and I have looked everywhere and we can't find them. My ensuite door was open so I'm wondering if he put some down the floor drain (I've caught him putting cotton tips down it before). I didn't even want the tablets in the house in the first place. Gah!

[Slow Ben]

That's terrifying.

Glad the little guys ok!
