hate when i'm having a bad day but also having trouble keeping from expressing it much. cuz my gf wants to help make it better but there's not exactly a concrete thing to do to make "i have no control over my upper lip cuz the dentist numbed my mouth and i'm thirsty but drinking means making gross slurping noises while i try not to spill on myself and i still end up spilling a lot anyway which is embarassing" better. like the only solution is to wait until i regain feeling/control in my lip and cheek.

but she wants to help! and i'm walking around a bit upset cuz its warm and i'm thirsty and less caffeinated than i'd like to be and there's nothing to be done for it for at least a few hours. so she starts getting scared and sad. so then i'm feeling worse cuz now i'm making her day bad. and she notices that i'm feeling worse, blames herself, and gets even more scared. so then i apologize for scaring her, and then she feels worse cuz now she's Behaving Incorrectly(TM) which makes her close in on herself even more. and then i feel worse cuz i'm Behaving Incorrectly(TM) and scaring her more when i'm trying to do the opposite. et cetera et cetera forever and ever until we both go to sleep.

i can't wait until today is over.

#i tried to make myself a cold coffee drink except i sniff tested the milk and it was Extremely Bad #which makes sense since we've had it awhile and the carton's done date was yesterday but its still frustrating #so then i was gonna cool down my coffee with ice cubes but we're out of ice #but i managed to cool it down with cold water and cream so its fine. its not Great tasting but i've made worse coffee than this #but then when i went to try and use a straw on it in case that made spilling less likely it actually made things 100% harder #and like. these things happen and its not great but its Fine #but gf is taking every bit of this as a Personal Moral Failing(TM) on her part #cuz she forgot to fill the ice tray and could've gone to get more milk #like babe i Literally just went to the store post-dentist. i could've checked the milk before i left #and i could've filled the ice tray myself. and i could've ignored her suggestion of using a straw #but rather than 'person with sore mouth faces mild setbacks in retrieving coffee but ultimately is able to figure something out'#its become 'local woman is evil bad ice tray forgetter who must repent for her straw suggestion sins'#which is gonna be very funny tomorrow once we're out of this loop but right now sucks
