A night of firsts...

Well this hasn't ever happened before. Here's a list of "I've never's."

I've never been awakened by a toothache before

I've never been able to see my own cavity before

I've never driven to a 24-hour Wal*Mart at four am to purchase Advil before

Recently, an old filling of mine has rapidly deteriorated (ie/ Just kind of fallen out), and prices being what they are, I don't know when I'll be able to get it replaced. Which is akin to saying "I don't know when I'll be able to eat solid foods again."

I might be able to function as a normal human being if I go on interest relief, max out my credit card, and put my savings on ice for a month at least.

All this might have been worth it if I had run into someone who'd asked "How's it going?" so I could say "It'd probably be going better if I wasn't driving to the store at 4am to buy painkillers." But the cashier was possibly the rudest person I've met in months, and my parents are sound sleepers. All I'm asking for is a little sympathy... and to not be awakened by screaming pain in my jaw. As soon as the two extra strength gel-caps kick in I'm going out like an energy efficient light (which is switched off).

I've never complained about this specific issue using the internet before.

Oop, there they go. And here I go.
