#which apparently i have. pretty bad. i didn't even know but my dentist took one look at my teeth and was like 'do you have digestive issues

tw for vomit and tooth whump

Apparently your teeth are kinda easy to erode? If you've never heard of "mountain dew teeth" it's when you drink too much mountain dew and even if you brush teeth really well, your teeth just start wearing away.

Anyway, this can also happen if you have bad acid reflux, or if you vomit a lot. This is because your stomach acid is pretty acidic and will literally wear away your bones if it comes up too much. (mt dew is also pretty acidic, and more common)

So yeah. Does your whumpee get access to the right quality of food? (Different types of food can affect acid reflux a lot. Frequent vomiting is a whole other problem.) And the right quality of dental care?

Sitting in James's apartment right now. I cleaned in here because every time I come here when I haven't been here a few days it seems like the whole place explodes. Every time. But it's fine. I'm having a nice day. There was a bit of a stressful moment this morning but everything has worked out since then. The morning was bad with the afternoon was good.

I slept okay. I woke up around 8 and laid in bed for a while. I was going to get out of bed at 9:30 but decided to just get up after I finish going through Tumblr. I got up and dressed. I love my makeup. There was no food I was interested in. My plan was to walk my sculpture to the dentist office and then bike down the harbor to see James before I got brunch and then went to the museum. All of that went wrong.

First off I walked all the way to the dentist office because the website said that they were open. But for whatever reason they were closed. I guess maybe there are by appointment only. And then I took the sculpture back home because I didn't want to carry it with me. And so I was annoyed and hot by the time I got back.

But I just left again to go down to the harbor. I got down there and got to say hi to James. And then I started going towards the museum. I went up to the shopping center and sat at the counter at the diner. Have a nice conversation with the guy next to me. And then I get a text from Jessica asking where I was. Because even though I asked multiple times this week what time I was supposed to be there. And was told I was supposed to be there at 12:30 because the party started at 1:30. I was apparently supposed to be there closer to 10 AM. Because the party actually started at 12 and I was supposed to be there an hour before the party began and a half an hour before the setup was allowed which was 11. That was not what I was told at all. When I talked to Jessica when she trained me on Wednesday she said to be here at 12:30 or I could even come as early as 12 if I felt like I needed some more time to set up. The schedule that was sent out so that the program are supposed to do was from 2 to 3. If the party started an hour before the program and I was supposed to be here an hour before the party that means I should be there at noon. But the email they sent out yesterday said that the program were happening until 2:30. Okay. But the schedule still said in the email that I was scheduled from 12 until 2:30. There was nowhere in any of the information I was supposed to be there at 10:30 am. No one ever said this to me and so I was waiting on my breakfast and was really really upset. Jessica text me and I told her what are you talkin about I'm not supposed to be there for an hour. But apparently the party people were already there. So I switched my food to a to-go order and got over there as fast as I could but I was still a half an hour late. I was really angry. Multiple times I had checked about what time I was supposed to be there because this was my first birthday party and I didn't want to mess it up. No one told me anything about being there closer to 10:30 or 11. So that gave me so much anxiety and I was very upset.

Thankfully the birthday party people were great. They were a lovely family and we're super understanding and seemed to really like me. But I think it affected their lack of a tip at the end of the birthday. It's fine but after being told by multiple other people that they get tips at birthday parties I was a little perturbed that my being late because of being misinformed probably affect the back. It's fine. But still.

But the birthday party was fun. I helped them set up and got everything I needed. I went and had my lunch that I brought with me from the diner. I set up the program. The birthday boy was very tall for 8 and was a real big sweetheart. The whole group of boys that was at the party were very loud but a good time was still had by all. I really wanted one of their cupcakes but I wasn't going to ask. I gave him a mini tour and turned on some machines for them. Left them in the video game exhibit before they had their lunch. Then came and got them and did the roller coaster project for about 40 minutes. Because the mom felt they were being a little bit too crazy. But that's okay. Two of the four groups actually built the roller coasters. The birthday boys groups decided to beat each other with the tracks. So the mom made him sit out for a few minutes. Still a really fun time.

Everything got cleaned up pretty quickly. They help me put the tables back and they really didn't need me for much of clean up time. So I kind of hovered but didn't want to be in the way but also didn't want them to think I wasn't willing to be there to help. But it all happened really fast and I was out of there by 2:30.

But because I had been so stressed about everything I felt bad and didn't want to go home. So I went back to the harbor and went to Marshalls. I got a new Sleeping pack for my face because I've been getting real bad dry skin again. And I got the cutest little jumper but I'm going to wear tomorrow. It's yellow and I love it so much. I went to go get James a hug at Taney and then I came home.

I got catcalled a lot on our way home today. Don't know why. But it was whatever. Had a couple conversations with my cat callers. Don't know why but I did.

Then I got home and got cleaned up. Lay down for a little while but I didn't want to be in my apartment. Someone's coming to see it at 10:30 tomorrow morning and I just felt uncomfortable. I wanted to get pizza and go sit here at James's place.

So that's what I did. I got here and I cleaned and organized. I brought one bag of stuff over and put those things away. And then I realized that my belly button ring was missing. So I went back home to get another one. It's not my favorite but it's fine. I came back here and as I was walking out my bike James rode past me and we waved at each other and said hi. He was going to his other job at the theater. But he'll be back later.

I order food and waited for it to get here. Once it did I changed and had two slices of pizza and 1/2 of a thing of mac and cheese. And now I'm just chilling. The silk that I bought for the bullet bar came so I'm figuring out the best length for that. Stretches way more than I was anticipating. But I think I have it at a good left now. Going to play around with that.

James has an overnight tomorrow but we have the whole morning and afternoon together. Maybe we'll go to the farmers market. I don't know what will happen. I just hope that it's a nice day. I hope you all sleep well tonight. Be safe out there. Good night!

My mouth hurts in fun new ways! But today was still a really nice day off. I slept in late. And felt pretty good when i woke up.

I was sitting there checking all my internet stuff. And when i got to my email i had a bunch of ebay messages from people asking me about the cameras and drones I was selling for thousands of dollars. I am not selling cameras are drones so I was alarmed. The last email on the list was from eBay itself saying that they had locked my account because they thought I had been hacked. And to call them as soon as I could.

So I called eBay and I got a very nice man named John and he said I had a nice voice but it was because I was tired and I just woken up. But he was awesome and he got everything fixed and we changed my password and it was all good. I was slightly concerned that I was just being super extra hacked but I think it's okay. Not a great way to wake up though.

I took a little while but I got up and got dressed after that. I felt real cute today. I actually was stopped on the street later in the day when I was walking around and someone told me they love my outfit. Made me feel good.

The first thing I did today was take all of my four bees into the backyard for a family photo. And all of my robot toys. I am sitting down in my studio now fixing my shoe that broke while I was walking around and realized I did not include the little water robot I have but that's okay. Next time. But it was really fun taking the picture and setting them all up.

I left after that and walked over to the Flower Mart. But it was way smaller than last year. Like almost no vendors and only a couple food options. I only like three or four people selling flowers. It was weird. I think the Preakness is happening this weekend too or something so maybe that's why but it just seems severely smaller than last year and that's really sad.

But I had fun walking around for a bit. And then I walk to the grocery store and got bagels and stuff and went home.

I had my bagel and I hung out in my living room. I let Sweet Pea go outside. I mostly watched videos and chilled for a while. And then around 2 I got ready to go.

I'm supposed to eat something before my dentist appointment. So I walk down to the harbor and went to Burger King. I just got a sandwich. And it was very good. And then I walked over to Constellation to say hi to James. He's having a hard day and is dealing with a lot emotionally. So I just tried to cheer him up a little bit.

I have some time to waste so I went across the street to the candy store. It was very funny talking to the guy that works there when I told him that I was going to the dentist right after buying this bag of candy. They mostly just had fun walking around. I bought buttered popcorn flavored jelly beans because they're the only kind of like. And it was just nice not having to rush.

And then I walked back up towards my bus stop where the dentist is. I was still too early though so I sat outside on the bench for a bit and enjoy the nice weather. And then over to the dentist for real.

I had a whole third different hygienist this time and she was very nice. The dentist was really awesome this time now. I think the nicest I feel like I've dealt with him. Not that he's been mean but his bedside manner was the best that I've experienced today. I waited a little bit and then they gave me to needles in my mouth because I was getting a filling on the top and the bottom. And that hurt a lot. So apparently I made a scream sound. But then I started shaking really bad and was very woozy. It was kind of like an adrenaline rush and then I drop. The same thing that happens to people when they pass out when they see blood. So I just had to lay still for a while but I was okay. I listen to my podcast for the first feeling. And then I had asked something about one of the tools and told him that I was a sculptor and I was really interested in how things were made. And so he gave me a mirror and let me watch the entire bottom tooth be done and explained the whole process and it was really cool that he did that. He explained all the mechanics of it and I was really excited to learn. And then afterwards he asked me if I can make him a tooth sculpture for The office. So we're going to do a barter and he's going to give me a free teeth whitening for a sculpture. So that's cool. I'm going to work on that on Sunday I think. my plan is to make a palm-sized tooth diorama that has a small dental office inside of it. We'll see how it goes.

I was still very numb after everything was over. My ear was numb which was very unsettling. So I didn't want to go home yet and it was so beautiful out so I walk down to the harbor again. I went to Marshalls and looked around. I didn't buy anything I just enjoyed searching. I talked to some people that were in the store and it was just really nice. James told me he was finishing up so I went over to CVS to get something that I needed and then met him outside.

We walked up to my neighborhood and about halfway there the back of my shoe ripped off. Which is what I'm fixing now. It was right after we just saw a poor guy walk right into the edge of a wall and we were making sure he was okay and then I broke my shoe. Was very annoying. But we got back to my apartment and sat down for a few minutes and I changed my shoes and then we headed to The Flower Mart again.

But James was feeling very sad and and so we only walked around a little bit. We're going to go back tomorrow and enjoy the end of it. But instead we went and bought stuff for dinner and had to take his place.

This dress is an incredibly hard dress to bike in. We made it home safely but then James felt very nauseous. So he took a break before we need dinner. We hung out and talked for a while. Just existed in the same space together and after dinner I went home. I hope he feels better tomorrow. I hate seeing him so sad.

I got home a little after 9. And there's some drunk person upstairs or in the building next to us scream singing and dry heaving and screaming. I have no idea what's going on. It's awful though which is why I moved down to my studio where it is quiet. But I'm going to go take a shower and get ready for bed. Because I have a full day at the BMI tomorrow. Alturas all day. Because it's the Flower Mart in some other stuff are happening I don't know how busy will be but how can I get to get some good tours and maybe I'll even get a tip out of it. I love to give them so I mean it's not going to be a hard day. But my throat is definitely going to hurt afterwards if I get five tours. Still I'm looking forward to it.

I hope you all have a good night tonight. Sleep well. Enjoy the weather. Stay dry.

James is running back to my apartment to get my new clock furby that was apparently just delivered. Because I feel terrible and he wants to take care of me and I think that that would make me feel better. I had my root canal today. And then I basically slept the entire day away.

I slept okay last night. Getting up was hard. I had some toast and got dressed. James came by around 10 and we walk to the dentist together. Take a picture of me in front of the tree and the park and it was so pretty. I don't feel very pretty but that's okay.

We got to the dentist and we had to wait for a bit. Seems like everybody in there was getting root canals today. To actively into in the future. Sort of makes me think of this place just wants to push root canals but it also makes me concerned about the health of people in their 20s. Because all the people that were there were my age and all of us need root canals. That's not great. James says it probably has something to do with all the high fructose corn syrup we having our diet since we were kids. And this new push to get fluoride Out of Water and toothpaste. And I don't think he's wrong. I think that's definitely a factor.

The actual root canal was weird. Like I've had a couple. And this was the strangest one. They use different materials and different tools. But it was fine. I had to get my mouth open for a really long time and I don't remember having to do that before. It kept saying that I had to keep the area dry. And I vaguely remember with the last one them rapping my mouth in the weird plastic rubber material kind of like a balloon. And just cutting a hole for the one tooth so it would stay dry. That seems like a better system. But whatever. I was very numb and just tried to breathe through it but some of the sounds of the tools was even than usual. And he didn't tell me what was happening and I didn't enjoy that. I like knowing exactly what's going on. But it was fine.

It took a little bit over an hour. And then I was making my appointment to get the crown put on and me and James left. We walked across the street to go to the market. James bought me snacks and he got fresh fruits and vegetables and things. I was starting to feel bad. And my mouth and face felt very swollen and numb. I wanted to go home.

We walk back to my place and he put my snacks in the kitchen. And then he came and help me for a while. And then I fell asleep. I don't know when I fell asleep. I was just knocked out and I was drowsy and James came back in with his coat on and said goodbye.

I woke up around 3:30 and I felt a little better. I was mostly just really hungry. I laid in bed for a little bit texting people and talking to the girls in the group chat. But I wanted to go to James's because he promised me food. And I wanted to be with him.

I got myself together packed up my bag. And I had a snack. Some of the chocolate milk I bought and some cheese puff things. I know it's supposed to be very very numb still mostly my lips. But eating help me feel a little bit better. I gave sweetp a kiss goodbye and I headed to James.

I stopped at the grocery store to get a candy bar and soda for James's apartment and tzatziki sauce for dinner. Because James was going to try to make falafel on the waffle iron. Falafel waffle sounds very funny.

And when I got here I let myself and because I have a key. And he got to work making dinner. And it turned out pretty good. He tried to make whipped garlic and that only sort of worked. It was very very bitter. And strong. But I think it just needs to sit for a while and I think we may try my Magic Bullet blender next time because it has a whipping attachment. But I appreciated the effort. And it was a new recipe and he tried his best.

Falafel came out pretty good too. I would have preferred it was like pita and like tomatoes but it was still good. My jaw hurt and the numbness was wearing away and I was just starting to feel bad.

He tried to make churros on the waffle iron next which came out good but were too hot. My mouth is way too sensitive right now. I still ain't one but I really just wanted to go back to bed.

I laid in his bed and watch some crime videos for a bit and then eventually fell asleep. I don't actually know how long I slept that time but I felt very sad when I got up. The sun was starting to go down and I was getting a bunch of messages on my phone that my packages were being delivered. And so James said he would go and get them. While I did my post. And then we could just watch something when he comes back. Maybe play a game. I still feel very drained but I don't hurt as bad right now. I feel like I'm just going to be very slow for the next day or so.

I'm excited to see my kids tomorrow. Didn't hear from chelsy today but that's okay. I'm sure everything went fine. She's very competent. I hope you all have a good night tonight. Send me some good vibes. And hope that the little Furby clock that I got in the mail tonight talks. I'll love them anyway but I'll be really excited if she can speak.

Good night everyone
