Bad Tooth on the way to Columbia
Have you missed me? Running all over the south can be exhausting, especially during the election season. It’s important to note that I’ve been dealing with a rather difficult issue with my teeth. Years of drug-use combined with no dental insurance make for some pretty nasty conditions inside of my mouth. I have a prescription for Advil 800mg, the “not-fun” painkiller. It has been working. Mind you, the addict part of me would much rather be making an excuse to use Oxycontin to do something about my pain, but I've been addicted to Alcohol, Cocaine and Crystal Meth and I probably don't want to complete the big square with the Opiate family.
As I'm catching up, rather than confuse you by posting these in earlier dates I'm going to put actual dates here and date the posts when I actually post them.

Did you know that a company called DenTek makes a “temporary filling” product called Tempanol? I was in so much pain before I left Florida it somehow managed to help me get through the night at my brother’s house, on the way, despite the presence of an almost-three year old nephew named Jacob and my six-month old niece Molly who has not yet learned to sleep all the way through the night. Combine aching tooth, baby, and two curious felines and we have a night of fitful sleep. The couch was quite comfortable.
My younger brother and his wife have a nice house and some really cool kids. I am really grateful he let me stay the night with him and so happy to finally meet my niece. Jacob wasn't really sure about me and didn't seem to want me around. “Are you leaving yet?” was the typical response. Wait until he starts getting Uncle Cary's birthday presents...then he won't be so ready to see me go.
The kid is a Capricorn, like me. Our family doesn't have a lot of Cappies, my beloved Grandfather, Jack Spigner, was a Capricorn and my cousin Craig, with whom I have often vied for the official title of Black Sheep of the Family, is a Capricorn. Let us hope that Jacob has higher ambition--and turns out more like his great-grandfather. He is, after all, a Christmas Eve baby.
