Restless, Irritable, and Less Wise
I had my wisdom teeth out on Wednesday. I'm pretty much out of pain killers at this point, and not sleeping very well thanks to the discomfort. Last night I had particular trouble allowing my head to be anything but upright. Something about how the blood shifts in my head makes laying back or forward quite uncomfortable.
So sleep has been difficult, and throughout most of today I've been in and out of bed. I don't have web sites to surf really so the laptop is boring me a lot. There isn't much on TV, so I finally finished watching the Incredible Hulk movie (had watched the first half a few weeks ago) but I was barely able to pay attention to the movie.
The most difficult thing right now is not being able to focus on anything. Whether it's watching TV or doing anything else, my attention span wavers constantly.
I'm not much of a blogger, I've posted very few things onto this blog during 2008. I would like to write more, both about my daily life and fiction. I was reminded at my high school reunion how much I enjoy writing fiction thanks to seeing some of the artifacts from school. I'm not saying I'm any good at it, but it's fun... but I can't justify the time spent on endevours like that when I'm not spending enough time on many other things.
I wish I could bring myself to write daily. I used to, years ago... right now I do keep a bit of a light journal that basically tracks more major events. But I used to write about the mundane events in my life which was a good release. It's nice to get these thoughts out of your head.
Now, this weekend I'm out of it thanks to the wisdom teeth. I was put out for the removal of the teeth. One was partially impacted, and it had to be cut up and removed in pieces. During the process, the dentist ended up slicing up the inside of my cheek which required stitches and is the primary source of my discomfort today at least. My jaw itself hurts too. The end result: I can't focus and I am writing garbage.
I'm probably rambling, but I'm bored and no one is around.. not that I have anything of real substance to say.
