unicorndukemy weekend isn't over yet but many things
Friday night, I ran to both the hardware store and the lumber mill to get supplies, great success, got everything I needed. Came back and didn't really do much else because my face hurt. Had dinner with F's family and we ate thai takeout that was delicious.
I had pain in my jaw, throat and ear for a couple of days and then yesterday finally spent the morning in urgent care where they figured I had an infection in my gum or the impacted wisdom tooth that I've had forever. I'm now on antibiotics and taking ibuprofen which is helping but I'm tired. I keep getting woken up in the night, probably because I touch my jaw and it wakes me up. Need to call my dentist on tuesday.
Yesterday afternoon, B, F and I drove over to Webs Yarn Store, which was good fun. Other than the fact that my stomach hated the takeout and I had to request multiple bathroom stops. Very upset stomach. Lots of yarn in the store which I admired and squished. Got some weaving yarn, some fiber and supplies. The funny thing is that I no longer want to buy yarn, I just want to spin it. I also picked up fiber for F's either birthday or christmas present in orange which is her favorite color and I'm going to spin it up. My birthday was this past week and she got me a present of an antique niddy noddy which I wasn't expecting but was very sweet. B also managed to bonk my in the head with the loom she purchased. It was an inkle loom and she had it in her basket, I kneeled down to look at something and she turned and caught me behind the ear. On my right side. So now that's sore too.
This morning I finished up the outlet run in the living room. Went well, pretty easy hookups and stuff. Five outlets, 3 single gang, 2 double gang with one USB added outlet too. I need to connect it all to the main wire in the basement still but I'm tired and took a nap. I'll get that hooked up soon. I have supplies to re-do four other outlets, one in the living room and three in the dining room but they aren't urgent. I bought a hilariously long spade bit for drilling holes down to where the junction boxes are because there apparently isn't a middle option between a 4 inch long spade bit and a 12 inch spade bit.
I'm definitely not going to get all the things done that I wanted to complete this weekend, like all of the baseboard heating but I just don't feel well and my face hurts so such as life I guess.
Hopefully the antibiotics kick the infection to the curb soon because I'm very irritated with how my jaw hurts and the ibuprofen only does so much.

May your dentist be a comprehensive help.
That is an awful lot to get done with any kind of jaw infection; cranial nerve pain is grim stuff.

Date: 2022-09-04 10:38 pm (UTC)But the pain seems to come and go, which is why I waited so long to get it checked out. Sometimes it's barely there and sometimes it's really painful. So I've been trying to get stuff done in between but I was planning to do a whole bunch of work on the living room this weekend and it's not happening. Which is very frustrating. I don't have any free weekends to work on it until Oct 7/8 so I will need to do it on weekday evenings. Arg.
I dunno. I'm just cranky and tired and need to get over the fact that I'm doing less this weekend and I'll just do it another time. Maybe take some days off work if nothing else. I'm "relaxing" right now by spinning but thinking about going back to bed instead so I know I'm not 100%. bleh. bleh.

Losing a weekend isn't great but the magnitude of the cause is more than sufficient explanation, is what I'm getting at. Rest is always important but sometimes it's more important than at other times.
