Have I told you yet about the canker sore from Hell? Oh, I am so not exaggerating. This canker sore it the WORST I have ever had, and whoo boy have I had some doozies. I would even rather a cold sore than this! I have a canker sore on my uvula! On my uvula? Are you kidding me? How did that happen? It hurts like where it came from--especially while eating or drinking. I've found that eating soft warm food is okay, but anything else, especially cold, acidic or crunchy is super painful. I thought I'd eat a yogurt with my lunch today. Nope! Pasta or rice is what I've had for dinner the past two nights, and those work just fine. Sore throat spray and ibuprofen don't do much for it, though I'm still popping ibuprofen like a mad woman. Actually, the sore throat spray was pretty much useless. I'm planning on getting some good pain meds before I leave for Bangladesh tomorrow. Thank goodness! Any advice would be appreciated!

You know what I really hate? Those videos that are all concentrate on this quiet video and then at the end a scary thing pops out with a ridiculous scream. You know what I'm talking about. I hate those. I hate it when I am tricked into watching one of those and I freak out. I mean, I'm pretty easily scared. I thought that once I started living with a strong manly man, I would cease to be scared in my own house. I was wrong. I hate those videos. They are not funny. If you need an example, check out this post. Yes, it's a local pastor's blog. No, I'm not condemning anyone because most people aren't scaredy-cats like me. In fact, people think those are FUNNY. I like to be a little scared, like ghost walks and stuff like that. But that kind of in your face screeching kind of scary...ugh. No thank you.

augh. i hate not being able to sleep. i have been in and out of it since i got to bed. sleeping only for an hour's stretch and then waking up only to realize that it is still the wee hours. i just ate a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. it was not that great, but i was hungry. usually pb&j tastes great when i am hungry. you know what would taste good right now? sleep. i could not figure out why sleep was evading me until i looked at my phone. one new text message: shoulda drank decaf. hmm...someone else cannot sleep either. caffeine used to not really affect me. but i guess i do not exactly drink a 20oz of vault every day anymore. sheesh. for once i decided to use my time wisely and work on memorization. Aleph Blessed are those whose way is blameless, who walk in the law of the LORD! Blessed are those who keep His testimonies, who seek Him with their whole heart, and also do no wrong, but walk in His ways. You have commanded your precepts to be kept diligently. Oh ...

I need to be up early to make the big bucks and really should be in bed by now. But I was checking my email and while I'm online, I've just gotta say: this whole "no tomato" thing is really ruining my pizza.
