Been a long couple of weeks around here lately.

Someone didn’t put me in the system for the tooth extraction on the 7th so I got bumped back to the 15th and had both the bottom wisdom teeth yanked.

Had some pain issues.  Didn’t get prescribed pain meds after the extraction and I ended up toughing it out for the remainder of the first week.  Finally, I caved and called for some.  

Because of my medication allergies, they had me come in to make sure things were healing properly.  Turns out I had a bit of a dry socket on one side.  No wonder my face felt like it was falling off!  Ended up with a topical packing and it feels SO much better.

Have a couple more appointments next week but then I should be all done with the teeth business and good to go back on track with the 5k stuff. 

In other news…we bought a new car!

Now I have my own wheels.  We’re a little bit tight for the next few weeks until we recoup that down payment, but well worth it.  It’s nice to have a vehicle so I’m not taking the Mr. from work to go to all these appointments.

I’ve been combing the job boards heavily since we made the purchase. I’m hoping for some sort of hit soon. I am the numbers half of this marriage, so since it’s my car, I want to be able to contribute something towards the payments.  We’re still saving a bunch at the end of the month, but still. It’d be nice not to have him paying for everything again.

Other than that….Life’s about the same.  

Will post more as things progress.

Cheers!
