it took around three hours and left me feeling as though i’d been punched repeatedly in the face. luckily, it’s feeling better today. less face-punchiness. i’ve noticed that i have to be much more careful when chewing on the unaffected side so that i don’t put any stress on the affected side..since it makes me feel like my jaw is going to explode.

also, i now remember why i hate UPS. i had a package scheduled for delivery today. i know it’s holiday season and there can be delays or whatever, that’s fine. what’s not fine is when the courier doesn’t even bother to attempt to deliver the package and reports to ups’ computer that he/she has. i tried calling their customer service to ensure that it would indeed be delivered tomorrow (the second attempt, according to them) and the woman essentially called me a liar when i told her that no info notice was left on our door or with our apartment complex’s management office and that near as i could tell, there was no delivery attempt. ugh.
