Boo!

Scary thing I've learned this week.....life is a lot better when you're dealing with it on painkillers. I've been steadily drugged since the removal of my wisdom teeth last week and things that would have sent me into a rage or down a dark spiral of stress are being laughed off.

Perhaps it's not just the painkillers that are doing it for me, but a change in attitude about life after that bad news on Sunday. Once again I readjusted the ol' priorities and things are coming up rosy.

The best part of the week is watching people deal with the pretty bruise on my cheek and that look of concern and the dilemma of whether they should ask or not. The Co-worker felt sorry for me on the weekend (when the bruise was darker and I was still chipmunk-esque) and was going out of his way to be extra nice to me (which I appreciated) and rewarded him by telling random people -- like the football team -- that the bruise on my cheek was from him! (Yes, I am an asshole!) I thought this was hilarious, he didn't think it was quite as funny as I did.

So this morning I opted to try my day without painkillers. I lasted an hour after getting to work. Don't worry, I'm not getting addicted this is my last day to take them anyways -- I decided that I might as well enjoy the happy, stress-free feeling while it lasts!

oh yeah Happy Halloween!
