#tooth woes

[millerflintstone]

The last time I had dental pain from a root canal, I was able to take edibles to help. I find the combo of THC with hydrocodone really prolongs the pain relief. I'm trying to not do that in case I need to pass a drug test. Sadly, legal THC will still make you fail a drug test. So, I've been pretty miserable.

Part of this is my fault. I went to lunch with Grammy C and friends yesterday because I do find I do better with some actual social interaction. I think I talked too much. Today I kept my regularly scheduled dental cleaning. The endodontist said it would be ok if I felt ok. The appointment was fine. No x-rays were due. But I do think having my mouth open for that long exacerbated things. I passed out when I came home from that.

I got a steroid pack for pain in case I needed it and I started it today. We'll see if I sleep tonight

A good fakemon design punches you in the gut with the grief of knowing that you will never see it exist in a real pokemon game and you will never have it on your team with your other favorites

"Good afternoon. I have an appointment at five o'clock?"

Aziraphale Fell smiled at the lovely receptionist in the dentist, who handed him a stack of paperwork after he politely reminded her - yet again - that he did not have an email address, had no desire to have an email address, and he had no issue filling in paperwork. She handed him a biro with a chewed end and sent him upstairs to await Doctor Service.

The waiting room at the Whickber Dental Practice was small: there were six seats, all told, and a sprawling figure with black snakeskin boots was taking up half of them. Upon spotting the figure, the hand clutching the clipboard fell. "You."

A pair of sunglasses slipped downwards and an easy smile bloomed on the other man's face. "Angel. If I didn't know any better, I'd think you were stalking me."

"Hardly. And I have a name, you know. It's not Angel."

The other man merely snorted and went back to perusing an out-of-date copy of Gardner's Weekly. Aziraphale took one of the empty seats opposite, nose wrinkling at the pen, and began filling out the forms required before his appointment. More than once, his gaze drifted to the dreadful man opposite him. They had first met in line at the coffee shop - where this awful man had pushed past Aziraphale in the queue. Next had been the pharmacy - where Aziraphale had let everyone bar him cut in front. Then the post office. The Dirty Donkey. Even waiting for a table at the new restaurant Aziraphale had been dying to try.

It was becoming rather ridiculous. Yet, Aziraphale had no desire whatsoever to get to know this man that fate kept throwing in his path. Aziraphale's gaze darted in his direction, following the long line of his legs. Even if he was bloody gorgeous.

Aziraphale quickly busied himself. He had forms to fill out. His brushing habits were excellent: twice a day, electric toothbrush, regular flossing. He began to falter, however, when he came to the questions on units of alcohol and sweet treats per day.

"You can lie, you know. They won't know." Aziraphale glanced up from his form. The man was watching him intently. "It's what I do."

"But they will. Know, I mean. They can tell from my teeth." Aziraphale, shame crawling over him, put down the accurate units. Ish. "For the best."

The man hummed. "I 'spose. But we both know that whatever advice they give you, you'll be back to ignoring it before lunchtime. Maybe at a charming bistro or a lovely patisserie."

Aziraphale flushed. He did not care for this man's judgement - especially from a man who had a beaten packet of cigarettes in his front pocket and a dusty mouth guard case that looked like it hadn't been opened since the 90s. But, before he could be drawn into yet another argument about social decorum, Doctor Sandwich's dental assistant appeared.

"Anthony Crowley?"

The man raised his hand. "That's me." He stood from the chair, hips swaying as he followed the assistant. Before he climbed the short flight of stairs to the dental suite, he stared at Aziraphale. "A pleasure, as always, Angel. Where will we meet next?"

"Nowhere, if there is a God."

The man, Crowley, threw his head back and laughed. He then offered Aziraphale a wink and went to his appointment. Aziraphale just sat, clipboard firmly clutched in his hands, and tried to focus on the fact that he loathed this man - and not that the acrobatics his stomach was making at the memory of the way Crowley had stared at him. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if they were to run into each other again. Maybe.

Give me a number - that’s how many seconds I’ll spend thinking of an Aziraphale/Crowley AU to write for you in 200 words or more.

Knee, wrist, elbow, jaw/teeth all on the right side of my body hurt so much, I'm perplexed.

My body, taking notes on a clipboard: So I see you didn't like the old hives—

Me: No I did not.

My body: Okay! No problem, no problem at all. We will put a stop on that and cancel that order.

Me: Great! Thank you so much for understanding—

My body: Oh it's fine—

Me: I mean I know you worked really hard on them and it's not that I don't appreciate the effort—

My body: Not at all! Not at all.

Me: Great. So I'm just gonna....I'm just gonna.....Go......Now.................Excuse me?

My body: Yes?

Me: ....What are these pink patches?

My body: Oh! Those are our new-and-improved-same-great-pink-fewer-calories hives! You don't even get the full body itch first, they just pop up!

Me:

i think its kinda funny how some of my irl friends have noted in the past how i initially seemed intimidating/unapproachable, mostly because of my being quiet and having the e_e face all the time (or being outright asleep) but then i would login and keep on yapping and yapping. and also be told i am NOT intimidating. i love the duality of man

[blackmoldmp3]

My car broke....again. might be my fuel pump. Had to get it towed. Only a $70 dollar tow at least. Have to call tomorrow to see if I can get it looked at. 😭 and then of course my temporary tooth thing fell off.
