I didn't get my ride in last night, because I spent my entire evening at a music/speech rally that Noah's school music group had a small part in. They were the third act of 15 or so (with mind-numbing speeches between them), and since I was under the impression that all the groups would be performing together at the end of the event, we stayed for the whole thing. As it turned out, all the groups just stood together at the end. I stood in the stands, clapping and thinking "I want my 3 hours back."
Don't get me wrong--the music groups did a great job, and that part of it was entertaining. It was just way, WAY too long, and they didn't follow the agenda on the program (which aggravates my more OCD side), so I had no idea how long it would be before it was over. The last act was a really talented HS band, but by that time I was just sitting there thinking "get on with it already so I can go HOME."
Adding to my misery was the fact that, since I thought it was going to be over in an hour, I didn't eat dinner beforehand. Also, my bottom-right wisdom tooth has been pushing its way in for a day or two, which happens every few months. Usually, it hurts for a day or two and then goes back down. This time, I think it's gotten infected or absessed or something. By the time this event was over, my jaw was totally swollen and in serious pain. So, to sum up, I spent all of last night bored, starving, and teething. I was one charming individual by 9:00.
The tooth issue is still ongoing, but I'm better medicated today. If it doesn't go away on its own by Friday, I'm going to see a dentist for some antibiotics and an oral surgery appointment. This happened 5 years ago, too, and I've been putting off the surgery since then. I think it's time.
Hmm...I wonder how much wisdom teeth weigh? :)
