welcome to my mind ...

Today was the first time in a while that I left my apartment after I had already showered for the day. And it wasn't to bring food to Jake. I needed to go to the grocery store, but on my way home I decided I'd just put it off again. I knew that I had bread at home so I could still make PB&J ...

I did just that, but I couldn't finish it. Why, you ask?

A couple days ago I bit the inside of my lower lip pretty hard and it left a blister. Over the last couple days, though, I've still been able to chew gum and eat regular food. Well today, I was almost finished with my sandwich when chomp! I bit down hard on that blister. If I'm not mistaken, I'm pretty sure I even took a small chunk out of what was already healing.

That sucker hurts! Even when I talk I can feel my teeth up against it. So over the next few days I'm restricting myself to a yogurt and pudding diet. Basically any kind of food that doesn't require me to chew it. So ice cream is still a go. But gum is not. I have to go three days without chewing gum. Ugh.

Luckily Food 4 Less had yogurt on sale for $.50 a piece. I bought ten. I'm really hoping it's healed enough so I can eat normal by the weekend. Otherwise it's back to Food 4 Less to buy more yogurt.

It's starting to cool off a little, finally. The last few days it's only gotten up to 99. At night it feels nice. When I leave my apartment to go to work {at 2:40am} it's only in the 70s. I can't wait until it only gets into the 70s during the day.

Put a bit of salt on it.
It'll hurt like hell, but in my experience consuming anything like orange juice or salty foods, even though they sting, make it heal faster. And it'll stop hurting for no reason; it'll only pain you when you expect it. :P
