Well I feel much better today, and I feel better mentally too. When I have nothing but time to sit and think, I can’t seem to channel it into productive thoughts (especially when I think something’s wrong with how my teeth are healing). But mentally I feel better. My brother brought me over a thermometer so I can make sure I don’t have a fever, and they brought me over 2 small jellies and a wet nap from the diner one day. That was cute.

I have lost about 4 pounds since Saturday (can’t complain since I’ve gained about 30 since I moved back to NY). But I’m also being more careful about what I eat, noting especially if the food is pointy in nature or prone to hurt my mouth. I have mostly been eating mashed potatoes, ensure, and corn muffin tops from stew leonards (which are great by the way).

It seems like the only way I could get my friends all to hang out again like college would be to have a huge party. Maybe I should start planning my birthday party now. My last birthday was so low key that I need to do something fun next year. I’ll start thinking now. Let me know if you have any ideas.
