It is only January but I may or may not have used 7 of my sick days already. We only get ten. My face hurts. On Valium and other meds and still it hurts. The dentist is too expensive. Turns out he’s out of network and I got all confused. Need to find new dentist. Old dentist suggest chiropractor and accupuncture. Who’s going to pay for this? Need to find NEW NEW dentist who will take old new dentist’s recommendations. Can’t sleep. Too anxious. Too much pain to go to school and talk. Can I sit there and just not talk all day???? Kids taking the Regents on the 24th. Grad school starts the same day. Grades due the same week. Behind on grading, sleeping, breathing and it’s only one day into a four-day week. Pain. Moving in two weeks. Not finished packing. Stress high.
