scrubjayspeaksOh thank Thor. A very normal day. A special treat kind of day, even. They gave me one of my favorite forms of recreational tedium at work. I might even get to do it again tomorrow. I finally had both the alone time and the mental bandwidth to listen to podcasts; last week, I couldn't even manage to have music playing. Other people had to deal with the Deeply Cursed Project I had last week, and since it's still just as cursed, it definitely wasn't just something I was doing. Someone brought in donuts, which I don't eat during the day, but hey, free donut for later. Speaking of free things, someone brought in a bunch of aloe cuttings, free to a good home.
I needed all of this. Very badly. I've apparently been just a bit tense--my whole face aches from what is probably jaw clenching in my sleep. (I'm lucky I wear a mouthguard at night, or I wouldn't have any intact teeth left at this point.) It's so bad, I've resorted to putting some of the lidocaine cream I normally use on my back onto the hinges of my jaw. I'm going to need to ice my face later too--sadly, I cannot safely put muscle cream all around my eyes.
