Spotty dreams last night. Up and down several times because of the medications. Have stopped taking the pain killers. With the inflammation down, the pain has subsided. Still a minor bit of soreness and some minor irritation still, but the pain has gone. Thank the stars and the drugs.

I slept most of the time since about 4pm yesterday. Feel like I'm slept out, but know I could do more if required. Have a hygiene appointment later today and dance class tonight. Will need to eat something of more substance than the kefir and supplements I consumed this morning.

The clock is ticking. Time is running down on me having to find a new place, secure it and get moved. This throat/teeth/gum inflammation was a total sidetrack. Another weekend lost in the mists of medical phenomena. Seems like I've been having my share of such activities over the past year (or at least the past 6 months).

Finished the Oates stories and started reading another Munro collection, Open Secrets. The first story in the collection was brilliant, but also so tightly wound around itself that I'm still somewhat unclear as to what happened and to whom. Despite my confusion, I get that it's a major piece of her writing. Seamlessly crafted so that past, present, future merges into a single flow.

Feeling suddenly like I'd like to crawl back under the covers. Two paragraphs and I'm looking for a place to rest. I'll break here for now...

Had hygiene and dance class. Better on all counts except didn't get a pass at the dentist. Not brushing correctly/enough so build up is more than normal and I have pockets that are not maintaining. No reason for it. I have all the time in the world to brush my teeth correctly.

So more discipline my man. More attention to details. Good to feel my clean teeth. No reason not to keep them in perfect shape, given my issues with dental items.

Time to sign off and get some sleep (after I brush). Tomorrow brings forth a new realm, a new potential, and a new promise.
