I can't talk right now...

My mouth is seriously still numb from having my cavities (yes, I meant it plural) filled this afternoon at 4:30. I know. It's taking forever. I just forgot for a minute and tried to drink out of a glass only to have water dribble down my chin.

First, let's examine how in hell I came to have a mouth full of cavities in my 30s when I haven't had a problem since I was like ten. Was it pregnancy? Was it being on the calcium-channel blocker for my post pre-eclampsia blood pressure? Did I eat too much junk food when I was preg? Do I just not floss my teeth enough. Is swishing my mouth with cola before I go to bed wrong? Just kidding.

Now let's talk about how I stopped to get myself a drink on the way home from the dentist thinking I would be ok to drink out of a straw. Not. So, I take a decent size slurp through the straw, detect a weakness in my lip seal on the numb side, try to clamp it down, and instead shoot an arc of tea about two feet away from me. That was the end of THAT! No dinner for me tonight, which is ok because I wasn't even feeling that hungry. I was also afraid that if I tried to chew anything I might actually end up chewing half of my cheek off. That would be gross.

Then... I know you'll love this... I went through the drive up at Walgreens to pick up a Rx refill, and the girl could not understand what I saying over the intercom! I had to go in and give her my license because it was simply impossible for me to properly enunciate the letters that make up my last name with my tongue and lip all numb and fat feeling.

Five hours later it is finally getting mostly back to normal. I finally feel like I can safely fall asleep without being in danger of biting off my tongue. That would be a bummer.

In weight news... I think my period is on it's last legs, and I peed about eight bazillion times at work today, so maybe the scale will be kind to me in the morning.
