Today has been rough. It's been a week since my surgery, and in some ways I feel worse now than I did directly after. Thanks to my medication, I'm tired all day long. I try not to take the pain medication (I'm not a fan of narcotics), but too much chewing or talking (or, yelling at the kids to quit killing each other) tightens up the muscles and ligaments around my jaw and it just plain hurts.
I'm trying to hold out for a reasonable bedtime to take a dose so that I can properly sleep through it. I don't like the "fuzzy head" I get when I take it.
My stress level is shot through the roof right now, as well, which surely doesn't contribute to a speedy recovery. I'm waiting on the final word on the job offer, and it's driving me nuts. I really want this job. Really, really. I've been refreshing my email inbox constantly, hoping to hear something. At my last interview, the position had been narrowed down between myself and another candidate, and I'm supposed to hear the final word by Monday at 5, at the latest.
The last kid just conked out, so I'm going to take advantage and hit the hay myself. Tomorrow will surely be better.
