Gruel

On Saturday, I woke up blabbering and half delirious from a painful painful toothache. When half you face feels like it is being jackhammered, nothing else in the whole wide world matters except stopping the pain NOW. Oh, I found out that taking aspirin for a toothache does squat to lessen the pain. I took 18 tablets in 24 hours; NADA pain reduction!! So I hauled my ass off to Walgreens at 8am, bought a family sized pack of ibuprofen and filled out my prescription for amoxicillin that I forgot I had. Went home, munched on the tablets and slept the day away. Sunday was much better as I think the amoxycillin kicked in and dealt with the infection or whatever. The throbbing pain was greatly reduced so I decided to cook a simple dinner as I was starving. It was stirfried chicken breast, bell peppers, onions, baby corn and spring onions with a sweet mapotofu sauce. I also added peanuts that I had braised previously. Heaped everything onto rice, and then I discovered that I could not chew!! Everytime my upper and lower teeth met, I would get this searing pain that made my toes curl and made me wanna wee. So I had no choice but to make another dinner. As I had a large pot of rice, I heated some up with water and made rice porridge. I know this pic looks awful but I was starving and it was softsoftsoft FOODFOODFOOD pourdowngullet.
