How is it that I am still up at 3 am.?  Time sure flys when you need more of it.
I slept most of today because of a severe toothache.  It was beyond that; I should say "rootache".  Desperate and weary.  It still threatens in the background but I've got some Dr. Tichenor's (I highly recommend this) and I've already tripled up on ibuprofen.  Blah.
Tichenor's doesn't actually say for tooth ache but it works.  You have to dilute this peppermint antiseptic mouthwash as it's so powerful.  If you make a tad strong and can stand the burn(which you can when you are in extreme tooth pain) it will numb it just enough for your ibuprofen to kick in.  Ice helps too, although it aggravates a regular toothache.  Ice is for the extreme slam your head into a wall type toothache.



A friend I haven't seen in 4 years is here!  I'm so excited!  I had to explain that I have aged 20 years in these past 4 years and of course, she claims she did too....So funny how we do these things.  I just didn't want to see that look in her eyes like "Damn, you fell to hell."  She told me, "Don't worry,  I'll just tell ya!"  We are good enough friends that we could do just that.

I'm still going to have to spruce up for the event.  I don't want to frighten anyone.  I've been in Art and Garden mode here lately.  I look it too!

I started a pic today and couldn't finish it.  I did some crazy baby oil and chalk experiment--it looks cool so far.  It's going to be fun to try and seal that in/preserve it,  but I'll find a way.  I've done far more temporary pieces such as the ones that got stolen lol.

I guess I'll do my hair and stuff tomorrow and just concentrate on my laundry and what to wear for our reunion.  I'm sure I look worse than her ....She is probably thinking the same thing---but I'm sure its me lol

My father used to come down to see us and loved to tell me how horrible I was starting to look.  My mother was the champ at that though.  My father still says stuff like that but I don't really notice it as much now.  One time, I remember him calling me and saying "Boy,______, you sure didn't turn out to a hill of beans did you? Huh? I mean it _____.  You really turned out to be a big nothing didn't ya?  See, if you had listened to me.......  You're nothing now.  I told you you were back then, didn't I?"  Of course I just told him,  "Yeah well, who knows which way things could have went;  could have been worse."

Yeah,  I could have made headlines had I stayed and listened to you whackos any more than I did already! lmao!  Note there are no quotations on this statement.  I don't want to be like them when I grow up. ;-)

Behind every crazy person there are 10 crazier ones that drove them there.  I have met all 10 and then some so I must be careful.

Life is good.

Coffee tastes so good at 3 am for some reason....
