Life Lately

Life lately has been B-U-S-Y!  Steve and I are both back in school and working full time.  On top of that, I have my little baby photography business that has slowly, but steadily, been getting busier and busier.  I have had zero free time as of late.   My poor blog post about our Chicago trip has sat, halfway finished, for almost 2 months now! (Has it really been that long since we were there?)  Crazy.  My goal for the next week is to catch up.  I love blogging, it's calming to me and it's my way of journaling life events...  Also, my goal for the next week is to not pack my schedule so tight and to leave some space for Steve and I.... and also for sleep.  Until next time,
xoxo me!

Wisdom Teeth 2.0

In February of 2012 I had 2 of my wisdom teeth removed in a drug study.  I was awake when they did it.  It wasn't too bad.  The oral surgeon was good.  He was talkative (which helped with the nerves) and fast.  He had those suckers out in less than 5 minutes.  What's even better is the fact that I didn't get a placebo.  Which is good because it was an overnight study and it sure would have sucked to lay there in pain for 12 hours.  They gave me some good pain killers after the study was done and I went home.  I was feeling so good in fact, that I decided we should hang out with people that night.  So we had people over.  We ate, we laughed, we had a jolly old time... and then something happened.  I must have overdone it with all my giggling because I woke up at 2 am with the worst pain I have ever felt... a dry socket.  It sucked.  What made it worse is the fact that it was a weekend and I had to wait until Monday morning to get it taken care of.  So I sat on the couch all night/day with an ice pack to my face.

This time, I've been more careful.  Even though I've been more careful, and haven't gotten a dry socket, I think this round has hurt more.  It has just been a miserable few days.  My jaw has throbbed and ached.  Tomorrow will be long.  I have work and school and won't be able to take any Loratab due to the sleepy side effects...  :S  Wish me luck.
