Yesterday I had a chocolate chip cookie and it made my tooth feel bad. I made an emergency appt. to the dentist today and went to see him. I was to be worked in after lunch and I was 1st thing (thank you). He was nice until he got in my mouth and started poking, scraping, rubbing, taking xrays and getting a really bad look on his face. It seems I had a previous cavity in this tooth and they had filled it. Well I bit down broke not only the filling but it took a ton of tooth with it. I broke the tooth thru the base and below the gum line. I was given 3 options #1 root canal on the tooth and attempt at a crown which he said he doubts would hold. #2 extract the tooth and place a bridge. (which includes grinding down the 2 adjacent teeth to stubs and placing a piece of 3 fake teeth.. #3 extract the tooth and have oral surgeon drill holes in my jaw bone and place screws that in turn after a wait period (all w/o a tooth) they would “open” op the spot and place a fake tooth implant to take the spot.

I have an apt. with Ortho next Thursday and now floating appointment with my dentist until I meet with oral surgeons for a consult in Feb. I’m hoping that the temp filling holds for a while and will allow me to at least till I get things figured out.

So today I invited Amber to join me with Cassie and Brett at church. I picked her up and made it to church on time even tho I swore I was going to be late. Amber was quiet and kept to herself when i tried to introduce her to others she I dunno seemed shy but not shy. Needless to say church was fun and afterwards Cassie and Brett had invited us to lunch (mainly because my bday) but Amber wanted to go home. So Thats what I did took her home and got pissy once she was gone. I’ve been around her over 3 weeks and I’ve yet to get an inkling of a feeling or anything. Her friends say I’m a nerd. Thats true but to tell me that s how your friends thing is just rude. I didn’t tell her Cassie thought .. wait I didn’t ask Cassie what she thought.. ((((((( HOLD MAKING PHONE CALL)))))… “She was quiet but okay” ok thats the official comment. I made the choice to send the “I think we would be better friends than anything else” text. She replied that she agrees. End of story she is still messaging me and wanting to meet up for lunch. This time she’s buying =) I have a funeral to attend to this week my pseudo-aunt died on Sunday.

Thats my last week or so I hope you had a good christmas and a fucking awesome new year

So I woke up about 4am on Sat morning and decided to goto walmart and get some shopping done. I stopped by QT and got a doughut and chcoc milk for mom. Dropped them off and went to work to work on a project that was due Monday and YES I know I’m on vacation but I needed to mess with it. I stayed for a few hours then went home and it was damn cold outside. Opened up the presents mom got me (not much). It was cold so i went to bed about 2pm and cuddled under the covers and decided to watch Inception again was nice day. I was disappointed that I didn’t even get 1 phone call saying happy birthday. I got 3 texts and numerous notes on twitter and FB but the 1 I wanted to call me didn’t call until Sunday night. I hit the sack to get up for church in the morning.

Happy New Years, wow.. where to start. I started Friday by getting Amber and watching TRON on IMAX. The movie rocked. I don’t think she enjoyed it. We went shopping for some masquerade ball she was going to that night. I dropped her off and talked to a few friends and realized that I knew enough people there that I could tag along. I asked her if I could go along as a date and she said sure (he friends were a married couple so there was only going to be 3) I met them at the club abut 9pm and we hung out and walked around and hung out. I was bored and had my 1 drink for the night. The other couple Shell and Danny or as he said to call him was “Dirty”. They wondered off to smoke and I don’t think it was the kind of smoke you get at the local store. After they came back the girls went and had their time. Long and short it was a boring night. After midnight and the toasts and such we bolted. I had to stop by work so she got the $.25 tour as I rebooted my boxes. i took her home with no kiss/hug or handshake. End of date.

Greetings Friends,.

So this past weekend was xmas and I thought I’d give some updates. On Friday I went to Patricks house up in Owasso after running by the Hall’s (best christmas cookies on the earth). I stopped by walgreens to buy a giftcard for my aunt and had the worst time getting it activated I almost said “fuck it” and leave but they fixed it quickly. I got to Pats with just him there the moms were out shopping. We watched some TV while I played on my iPad and him on his iphone chatting it up with someone (all weekend). I was between IRC and chatting on SMS with random ppl to facebook. Parents came home and we had some beans and cornbread. Lounged around and ended up watching Nightmare before christmas in Pats theater ( 9ft x 6ft) screen with projector. I decided to goto bed after the movie rather than hang out with the family. This ment I was 1st up on Saturday morning creeping thru the house at 5am to the kitchen to find something to eat. 5am is way past my breakfast time. Everyone finslal wakes up about 8:30 and we chill out not really talking or doing anything util Patrick starts on the dressing and doing it from scratch. I never knew carrots were in dressing *shrug*. The turkey was already cooked so it only needed to be heated up. After some stressful time of cooking and to many cooks in the kitchen I stayed out and played with the cats and iPad.
Food turned out wonderful and tasted great. There was a fresh and hot apple pie. I wanted whipped cream but seems they had egg nog icecream. I wanted whipped cream and that was a point of a bit of aggravation. I just said fuck it and walked out. After lunch we watched some movies before heading home to watch some TV then to bed. I slept in this morning and skipped church today because Cassie wasn’t going to be there and I was having issues sleeping. My Cousin Kimi called from Norman and wished me a merry christmas and such we had a chat about meds and such since shes the smart doctor of the family. We agreed I need a new doctor. Anyway.. Thats all for today. I doubt I’ll update much over the week before the b-day because I’m off work and nothing really to do to blog about. Ashly has been having seizures and not feeling good so were not going to be doing anything. and the internet girl is out of town.

So today we played Xmas gifts and let’s say it’s not so jolly. Fuck me. I am an ungrateful prick.

Here we go in as most of no order as I can try to remember.

At work we changed our look, logo, graphics systems and everything well since I do out in public etc they issued me a full layout of shirts (12), jackets and a fleece jacket.

I went to the ortho and had my power chain changed out and OMG it was nasty. The clear was some awful yellow and green colors. Now they replaced the top and gave me a silver one on the left side on bottom. This ajustmet didn’t hurt at all and I was having lunch with Cassie in Claremore in just an hour. Lunch was good because it was with a good friend and since she has been a bad friend and avoiding church to attend to family stuff.

I’m on the new drug and have finally reached the high dose but it seems my mail order company has farked up my prescription and now I’m living off samples from my 2 doctors. Since I’m still taking the original drug and coming down off that I can’t tell you how it working yet. Jury is out on it.

Got to go out and shop with Ashley this week and it was fun I’ve not done anything with her in a few months. She’s a cool chick. I love her ideas and attitude and glad she’s a friend that I don’t have to worry about dating.

Speaking of dating.. A few months back before the big project (both of them work and ortho) I met a girl on a dating site and I had told her I was to busy to do anything with her. I made contact with her again and after a few days of chatting this weekend I was suppose shop with Ashley but she was sick and I had plans with Amber that night. I asked Amber if she wanted to go shopping with me and help me find something for my mom and aunt, cousin. It was a weird “date” because we started with breakfast then shopping dinner then a movie. I took her home by 5 because I had issues at work I needed to attend to. Jury is out on how I feel about this one. The old gut is telling me 1 thing, mind saying another and common sense isn’t helping me at all. She is out of town for a week or so, so I think I’m not going to worry about her. I get leerily of girls I meet off dating sites because I dunno where they have been. And with her I feel she has been around the block a few times. Thats the gut talking..

Had a great xmas party at LT’s this year for the morning show party and got to hang out with a few friends and see the wifes and children of the others. I enjoy our morning family and we lost a very big chunk of it a week ago. 1 of our Floor directors left for California. Bitter sweet parting.

Our Company christmas party I won a 12-16pd smoked turkey from a local place so I took that to cousins for xmas. Otherwise I sat with Lindsay and the group from 918moms. It was interesting. The company has cut back more and more each year with this one no exception on how the recognize their staff.

Dentist.. I had to go see my dentist because on the back of 1 of my canines that I had re-built a few years ago after I broke it. It seems the pressure from the braces put a nice size crack in the back of it. I got to my 8am apt abt 7:45 and was out by 8:15. They just cut a big chunk out and rebuilt the backside that they could reach. and repaired it all quickly. He said this should hold for now and then when they get my tooth and root done I need a post and a crown as soon as I get my braces off.

When I dropped of my turkey to Pats he showed me his new projector and screen I think its something like 120″ of screen its massive and you feel like you’re in a movie theater. its crazy.

I think in that ramble timeline and in particular NO order what-so-ever I have done the last 2 weeks. I’m now off until Jan 3rd. I’m excited.. NOT. I have nothing to do.. nowhere to go and no one to do anything with. I was thinking that I’d goto the city for a daytrip or out to the outlets malls somewhere but dunno. I’ll try to use and abuse Ashley & Cassie and if Amber comes back and I straighten out how I want to approach the Amber situation. Oh yesterday was my 5 year single anniversary. Proud day in history.

Thats enough of an update. I’ll try to give better and more but work has been insane.

Soooooo I got tired of the new drug and it wore off to quick. It DID however work, it just didn’t work the whole time. I talked to my doctor about the taste buds/taste/wearing off early and we decided to abandon that drug and go with another drug which is more widely used and prescribed. In otherwise you would know its name if I told it to you. I guess that means they have the $ for commercials.
Not sure how the new med will fair. I’m hopeful it will be a game changer and make things easy.

Friday after work I went and saw “love and other drugs” which was a great flick. Friday night I had a chance to goto a Hockey game but decided that I’d stay home and watch some tivo which wasn’t as fun as going to the game. I went out Saturday and goofed around most of the day. Sunday was early I went to walmart on the way to church and then enjoyed Joe McGee at church followed by a movie “Burlesque” which was pretty good. I got home and watched some football and then got called into work and worked until about 6pm then home to watch 60min then home to sleep.

I’ve officially stained my power chain (clear rubber band across my braces). It now I have a dingy yellowed band across all of my top braces. Its not where anyone but me will notice or more or less it makes it noticeable. I honestly say I couldn’t even tell the power chain was there at the start other than the added pressure it caused. I get them changed out next week. I’m hoping they also change my arch wire because its chipped all over so you can see silver flecks.

So I don’t know if I’ve touched base on my med situation we decided to change up and do a fairly dramatic change up. The new meds are dissolved under my tongue which the 1st week I have the 5mg dose for a week has the no-flavor version. This med dissolves and makes my mouth BITTER taste and numb. I got to try the 10mg black cherry version I started last night was OMG way better. I was reluctant to take the high dosage this morning but did and didn’t have any problems with drowzyness. I have noticed my tastebuds are way off and almost like they are numbed. If that makes sense they are not as tasty. I’ve had a hard time sleeping the past 5 days because I’m guessing the insomnia thats caused by the quick withdraw of my previous med that was mostly sedating. The new drug doens’t sedate me much and with the cutting off of the sleeping meds I see a problem because I lay there with no thoughts and not tired. I have been trying taking the lunesta I have and its not even touched the insomnia I have. its killing me. I’m going to call the doc today and see if she can recommend another method or dosage. The drug is new and I’m not wanting to play with the dosage because I don’t have a script for it but she has already given me the dosages counted out to the day.

Work this week as been relaxed because Nick doesn’t do as many graphics as Alan so its the same thing over and over. He only changes a few graphics each time where Alan changes all elements.

Today I’ve been reading up on my braces and the message boards.. I almost forgot I had them on several times this week. Until someone was evil and tried to feed me BBQ. Thats all for a random post.

So over the last few days I’ve changed some meds around and after talking to my doctor she decided to take sleeping pills out of the equation which is utter bullshit and will probably be the reason I find a new doctor. She has me starting a new drug and by new I mean NEW its’ only been on the market for a year and hardly any reviews/comments/problems with it on the net other than that it tastes terrible and has to be taken under the tongue. So the trick is to drop the dosage on 1 med QUICKLY in my opinion way to quickly and quickly up the dose on the new meds. All the time trying to manage a holiday weekend. Wed night we had storms so I was at work until about 8pm then came home and tossed and turned until 3 then went to work for Turkey day. I got there and AC had already been there for 3 hours and done 90% of the graphics in his idle time. I stayed about 45minutes and heard that the director and others were in foul moods so I bolted and came back to bed. I woke about 2 for lunch then proceeded to goto bed with the best intentions of getting up at midnight with the crazies and going to walmart. I woke up at 11:39 and looked at the clock said fuck it and went back to bed. I woke up several times and had various items of food but only woke up Saturday morning about 4am and that was that. I missed Friday totally and wish I could have continued the comma. I went to walmart on Saturday morning and got a few things but was only out to be out and about.. Nothing really to be done but maybe buy a few items. I stopped by sonic on the way home and snagged some chicken and a slush. I watched football and my tivo programs all day and went to bed about 8pm missing the bedlam game which I hear was a good game to watch. I woke up about 7 on Sunday (today) and got ready for church and took the 2nd day dose of the med that tastes like shit and it didn’t’ knock me on my ass like it did the 1st time so thats a good sign. Went to church then had a good lunch w/cassie. Now I’m home about 1pm and nothing to do except maybe a run into S.S. for some drano or something because the drains are all running slow. I kinnda wished I’d planned on watching a movie with Cassie but I had something at home I had to deal with and even tho it would only taken me 5min at home the trip across town wasn’t worth it. Who knows I’d go by work but I really don’t have anything to work on other than a reboot and setup for Monday. AC is off most of the week so I’ll have NB as a met. Nick is normally easy to deal with. Enough rambling for now I’m off to do something productive.
