Yup, the kitchen area is now ready for a table and chairs and the living room is also ready for a small sofa or settee.
I am quite proud of myself.

One can not truly appreciate how good it is to feel nothing until they've lived with misery.
I'm exhausted, and I have to stay up long enough to call my team lead and tell her that I can't make it in tonight, but oh my god do I feel good right now.
We're going to pull that other molar out soon, but they felt it was too much to do in one day. I wasn't going to push the issue. I was just so grateful they were able to see me today.
It didn't occur to me until now, but not only am I running out of teeth, but I'm also running out of teeth that actually do anything functional.
Do Right, Be Right. :)

Gosh SIX, it sounds like your teeth are deciding for you what to do with them!
You're feeling OK? Are you sure it's not just the pain pills talking? Anyway, I too am glad that you're feeling better.

I'm not taking any pain pills.
He gave me a scrip for some "Tylenol 3" something or other (really bad handwriting). I didn't get it though. I haven't even taken an ibuprofen since I've gotten back.
I may or may not have still been a little loopy from the gas treatment, but the hygienist said I was good to drive home. I think I was just a little heady from no sleep and the near euphoria that comes with having zero pain after dealing with so much of it for so long. Really, the only break that I got from the tooth pain in the last few months was the pain of the canker sores somehow overpowering this pain. I had actually convinced myself that with enough peroxide that I had removed the infection and the tooth would be fine for a while. In the middle of my shift last night my tooth decided it was time to tell me otherwise.
When I explained what the pain was like after I tried pulling out the tooth myself to the hygienist yesterday, I said "you know that face a patient makes when you're doing a root scaling and planing and you hit a particularly deep pocket and they wince? It's like that, but every single second of your life with no hope that it's ever going to go away."
My eyes were literally red and watery the whole time I was in the waiting room up until I got that sweet, sweet Novocaine and it all went away. When the dentist apologized for how long everything was taking after I got those shots and I had the gas mask on, I told him "you take as long as you need. You have no idea how good it feels not to feel anything".
So.... If you've ever had a tooth pulled before, I've got whatever almost unnoticeable pain that comes along with that. On a scale of 1 to ten, the pain last night at work up before I pulled the tooth was an 8. The pain right when I tried to pull the tooth and about 30 seconds afterward was a 50! The pain the few hours leading up to the tooth being pulled was a 15. The pain right now is a 2, and that's only if I touch the soreness of my cheek. Otherwise it's a nice round zero.
I would have gone right into work last night if I wasn't up for about 28 hours straight and the job wasn't so physically demanding.
Now I just have to figure out how to get more sleep from now until I need to wake up for work since I've been sleeping ever since I called my team lead.

Closet is started. One corner cleared out and now there is room for people to hang up their coats or whatever. Also started refilling the trunk.

You couldn't possibly know how good it feels to drink a cup of hot coffee or a glass of cold water and not feel any pain until you've gone two months wincing in pain with every sip.
Good for you Brenda. Only 4 more days of work for me then I'm going to start making a whole lot of changes around here myself. I might even post some pictures. 
Oh... I also made a decision last night. After finding out from firsthand experience that Nitrous Oxide does absolutely nothing to dull the pain and is only used to "make you relaxed and make time seem to pass faster", I'm never taking it again. It's been a long time since I drank and felt out of touch with myself, and I did not enjoy the feeling at all. My mind was there, and while I was internalizing thoughts everything seemed fine, but I could tell at one point when I was talking that I was "drunk", and I said so and apologized for it (and I know it sounded foolish, the way it came out).

Thanks JACK.
I try to work on things a little bit at a time. As well as picking up things I need shopping wise.
