Hurtin' PT. 2

Nothing will ever make NOT want to have kids then being in a doctor's office. After about 15 minutes no kid can sit still. I saw kids playing with chairs I saw kids falling off chairs. I saw one kid open a magazine take out the card stock reorder form tear into ten pieces (she counted) then leave the mess on the floor. The mother asked her twice to pick up and neither times did she. I don't understand how kids fell they can act like idiots anywhere they want to. For instance some nights when I'm working the restaraunt there will be kids just running around. 3 or 4 of them just terroizing other customers.

Parents? What are you teaching your kids? I learned where to behave and where not to. The thing for me was the restaraunts are a special event and if I wanted to contiue being allowed these special events I must behave in a manner that would want my parents to bring me back.

But I forget, I guess, these must be the same parents calling up my teacher friends asking why there kids have to pick up after themselves. "isn't that your job they ask?"

But that's a whole other rant I could write about bad parenting. I guess since I was raised if a fairly normal household I understand something about respect and manners,

The next following the doc's office the thing is still huge. And the pressure is building on the inside of my cheek. I mean, it's painful. I lie in bed reading most of the day because somehow when you're in pain and whiny being in bed is the best place to be.

Kristen showed up at some point and all I did was whine to her. I couldn't even kiss her cause it hurt to purse my lips. Something else awesome happened with her that night but that's the next blog. Let's just say it involves Star Wars. Tune in soon for this one. (124 days till EP III by the way.)

She leaves after consoling me while I whine like a baby. I flip through tv watching nothing. Somehow when your sick you can watch hours of nothing. I can't even recall now what it was. Lileks mentioned that the other day. He watched Species II I'll prolly just watched reruns of That 70's Show.

And I couldn't sleep, the pain would wake me ver couple of hours and I prolly got thre to four hours over a 8 hour period.

Day IV of Lumpy Jaw weeks contuied and I again didn't leave the house. However a break through was made.

*** WARNING MORE GROSS STUFF AHEAD*****

The head of the small potato growing in my cheeks was actually white. DId this mean that it could pop. Well I gave it some help, too a pair of tweezers and pulled. And that hurt a lot. But pus started flowing.... not as much I was expecting. I was expecting like sitting in the front row of a Gallagher concert while he's using the Sledg-O-Matic on a couple of dozen of cream filled donuts. But it made me happy that at least some of the pressure might be off.

***** END GROSSNESS******

This did not relieve the pressure and it only hurt more. Probaly the broken sking adding pain to the pressure. In any case I called into work, partially because of the pain, partially cause of lack of sleep, but mostly, because if I was a customer I wouldn't want my server to be all pussey. <- That's supposed to an adjective describing some one who is full of pus. It just looks wrong.

At anyrate, I spent the night watching Spiderman 2 extras (of which there's a lot) and I even caught Charlie Rose on PBS interviewing Geroge Lucas. Interesting interview I'll probably mention in my next Star Wars post.

So today was Day V of Gee Wouldn't it Be Great to Have this Pocket of Pus of your Face. I hadn't left the house in two days and was getting pretty antsy. I finally got about 10 hours of sleep. And sleep I've always said is the miracle cure. I slept like a baby. Took a shower this morning. More Pus flowed. And I had no pain all day long. Kristen came over about 3 and we drove around running a few errands and getting some food. I'm still a little hesitant about people actually seeing this cherry growing uunder my skin but I HAD to get out of the house.

Upon return we hung out for a while still not kissing because mostly, who'd want to kiss me with this thing anyway. After she leaves Ryan and I pull a double feature. White Noise at the Tinseltown and a sneak preview of House of FLying Daggers at the Alamo. Two reviews which will be posted this weekend.

All in all, a much better day, will probably even be ready to work tommorow night at 4. That'll be nice to go back to work. And I'll be making some dough tomorrow. Cause, you know, I gotta.
