You Know, Writing Really Comes In Handy When You Can Only Move One Side Of Your Mouth

Hey, everyone! Let's talk about how sucky my Monday was!

First I spilled coffee all over my shirt this morning in the car and had to rush back into the house to change my shirt so I barely made it to school on time.

Then I had an incredibly boring and exhausting day which was made worse by the fact that all day I was counting down to a dentist appointment I had right after school where I would be getting my first ever cavity filled. Joy!

On one hand I was kind of excited to have my first ever cavity if only because it seems like one of those things that you should have happen to you at some point in your life, you know? Graduating from high school without ever having had a cavity is sort of like getting the "No Detentions in 4 Years" award on Senior Day. It's like, "Really? You've NEVER had a detention? You've NEVER had a cavity? What do you do all day, brush your teeth and behave yourself? You sound like a ball of fun!"

Oh, and did I mention that I have an Anatomy test and a Government test back-to-back tomorrow? Yeah. So I was kind of peeved about being at the dentist until 5:00. I mean, of course I'm not going study for the tests until Study Hall, but it's the principle of the matter, I tell you, the principle!

So I'm sitting there in the dentist's chair thinking about all the Judge Judy studying that I'm missing while being forced to listen to K95. For those of you who do not live in glorious Richmond, Virginia, K95 is a country station that specializes in playing today's country hits, running screaming ads for local truck dealerships and basically destroying my will to live.

So I sit there for twenty minutes (I'm not even kidding, it was literally twenty minutes. If it wasn't for the pictures plastered all over the walls of my dentist's adorable little children, I don't know what I would have done with myself. When I told him this, he said, "Good. They served their purpose." Haha. My dentist is cuter than your dentist.)

Now, I was expecting it to hurt because I had been told be numerous people to expect pain, even if it was just a little bit, but I honestly didn't feel a thing. Except for the Novocaine shot, which wasn't that bad, and plus the whole numb gum/cheek/lips thing is much more annoying than any pain. Especially for someone like me who talks A LOT, and usually at 200 miles an hour. Now I have to talk out of the side of my mouth like Milo Ventimiglia.

And not having full use of my mouth is so much worse than not having full use of my arm like when I get shots, because I don't move my arms nearly as much as I move my mouth in a day. Except it was really annoying a few months ago when I got two shots in my left arm and I could only wash my hair with one arm for like three days. I felt like a chimpanzee. Or maybe like I was washing a chimpanzee. I feel like a chimpanzee was involved somehow.

So anyway, just updating you on mi vida since it's been a few days. More tomorrow, maybe.
