Feeling better... And worse.

Better:
-I called my mom and told her everything. She said she loves me and she's going to help me get through whatever legal things I need her help with.
-I've lost about 10 pounds since getting back to school.
-Along with the ten pounds, almost 2 inches off my waist, hips, bust measurements.
-I'm slowly building up a list of guys I can text when I'm drunk to hook up with. I have, like, three right now. Cha-chiiing.

Worse:
-I'm getting sick from lack of sleep.
-I think it might be strep again. I've had strep 5 times already this year.
-My wisdom teeth still aren't completely healed and that blows.

Current weight: 220
Current mood: apathetic

YESTERDAY I ate:
-10 chicken nuggets
-1 medium french fry
-1 shamrock shake
-4 cups of margarita punch
-1 grilled cheese
-1 cheese stick
-3 cups of milk
-1 bowl of mac and cheese


Holy crap that's a lot of food.

A long and involved story of my life the past week.

Feel free to skip to happier things.


So, I can't say a whole lot about it, but last Wednesday I was arrested for petty larceny. It has been a ridiculous ordeal, and I haven't really been able to eat or sleep because of it. I met with a lawyer today, and he said that he will most likely (like 90% sure) be able to get the charges dropped down to a violation (trespassing). The good thing about a trespassing violation is that it isn't a criminal charge and won't go on my record.
The bad news is that my attorney fees alone are $800, plus possible fees from the court. I have about $270 in my bank account right now.

So today I went to a few different banks asking about loans. I applied for a credit card (which I will hopefully be able to get) just in case I'm not able to get a loan in time. One placed I asked had a minimum loan of $5000 (which is excessive) and the other place I asked said that my income wasn't good enough to qualify without a guarantor (like my parents). I haven't told my parents yet, so that's not an option.

I need to have this $800 by next Thursday. I'm going to a couple more banks tomorrow to see about different loans. I honestly don't know what I'm going to do if I'm not able to get a loan or a credit card.


I made a stupid mistake and now it's costing me. I regret it more than anything. Not really a whole lot more to say.

Today, in food.

Yesterday I Ate:
-2 crackers
-1 slice of coconut cheese
-1 slice of lavender cheese
-3 bites of taco
-2 small bags of Cool Ranch Doritos
-2 glasses of pink lemonade
-2 lime-flavored Tostitos

One of my friends brought some really cool cheese from the Netherlands. It's weird. But oddly good.

Today I Ate:
-1/2 cup taco meat
-1/2 cup lime-flavored Tostitos
-1/4 cup taco cheese
-1 glass of chocolate milk (skim)
-1/2 cup 2% milk

I'm scared.

On the mend.

My swelling is almost completely gone. I'm still having trouble sleeping though. Thank God for narcotics.

So my final semester of college started... Without me. I had to stay an extra day at home to meet with my oral surgeon again.
I'm taking a boot camp class, a yoga class, a literature class, and a painting class. It's gonna be a good time.




@Anne; It's so good to hear from you! It has been a really long time, and very few of the original group are left, sadly. :( Keep on being amazing! <3

Diagnoses and Jello.

So I have officially been diagnosed with "an infected hematoma on both sides" of my mouth. I have a large dosage of antibiotics. And more pain meds.

I've also managed to lose almost ten pounds since Monday (It's Thursday right now), because I've been subsisting on water, Jello, and the occasional bowl of chocolate ice cream.


But man, right now, I am STARVING.
So, I have a big bowl of jello, a bowl of chocolate ice cream, and a small bowl of shredded cheddar cheese (because, though I am on the mend, I'm still kind of unable to eat solid food. Maybe tomorrow. Oh God, hopefully tomorrow.

My mother has been a saint all through this. She heats up my heating pads and brings me water bottles, and buys me ice cream. I haven't even really been able to enjoy the ice cream, which is the shitty part.

Also, I have to miss the first day of classes, which bums me out. We don't usually have "syllabus week," my professors always like to dive right in, but missing the first day is so awkward...

Yikes.

I got my wisdom teeth out today.
It really sucks. I have two ridiculously swollen cheeks and giant bruises on my chin. Luckily, I only had to get the bottom two out.

Also, it's my birthday right now.
Yay. 22 is here. So exciting.

We celebrated my birthday on Saturday, since I had to stop eating at a certain point last night.
And the Patriots won the Super Bowl! I love football, sorry.

I've always had a really lame phone, like one of the cheap-o ones that only costs like 20 bucks, and no data plan, and my dad surprised me this year with a trip to the phone store, a data plan, and a new phone. It's pretty freaking awesome, and I'm really excited. I also got, like, seven new books from Barnes and Noble. Overall, good birthday, before the birthday even happened. :)

I'm more or less hopped up on painkillers right now. They gave me hydrocodone, and I also take Motrin with it for the swelling/fever (apparently after oral surgery you can have a fever for a little bit... The more you know!). I'm terrified of getting dry sockets, which is like an infection when the clot comes out too soon. I really really really don't want that.
But it's really hard because I'm a stomach sleeper, and now, not only do I have to sleep on my back, but I have to sleep sitting up. So, shit.
