Hopefully the insomnia will end soon. Hopefully.

I haven't been able to sleep normally since I got my temporary crown. It came complete with the insertion of a post and that's undoubtedly where the bulk of the pain is coming from. A fiberglass rod was shoved up into my upper jawbone, after all... my body is adjusting to this but it involves lots of pain and headaches.

Vicodin + caffeine = a very sick Ardath.

I may call the dentist's office today and see if they can get me a non-hydrocodone-based prescription (oh hay I've never tried oxycontin is it good?) or I may fall asleep the second I get home and be worthless.

Finals are coming up, wheeeeeee!

So here's the rest of my semester, which is this week and next:

Two papers due on Friday. One just needs revisions, the other I'm behind on.
Another paper due Monday, along with an oral presentation of its information, and then that class is done.
Finals next Thursday and Friday, both of them obscenely early in the morning.

And that would be that. So once I do the papers and presentation I'll have most of a week to study, and it's material I've been enjoying so it's sticking nicely in my head anyway.

This at least makes it easier to deal with the fact that, at the moment, I have no brain power to speak of and only had three hours of sleep, maximum, last night. I just want to crash... at least once this little class is over I finally can (once I get home).

Onward.

Or something like that. Watching an old episode of "Stingray..." it's an episode in which he checks himself into a mental institution to investigate reports that it's being used as some kind of espionage base. After throwing a deliberate freak-out at one of the other patients to establish his crazy creds, the other patient tells him:

"Yeah, you came to the right place. You're a bona fide fruit salad."

My instant reaction:

"Mmmmm... fruit salad..."

There's some downstairs.

It probably wouldn't be nearly as funny to me if I weren't so sleepy/insomnia-laden at this moment in time.

But now I'm hungry. And snickering.

Mmmmm... snickers...

... so I am existing mostly on facebook. These days most people have facebooks, and so - having seen this on a friend's wall there, 'm posting it here as well ...

'On Friday, Facebook will start using your photos in ads that will appear on the profile page of your contacts. It's legal and is mentioned in the fine print when you create your account. If you want to prevent this from happening, do the following: Settings, Privacy Settings, News Feed and Wall. Then...Facebook Ads, choose "No one" and save changes.'

The bad part of being depressed - for me, that is - is that when those words - 'I'm so depressed !' - are in my mind, I actually hear them in my head as they are said by Marvin - voiced by Alan Rickman --- which makes me burst out into giggles. There is something hugely wrong with this scenario ...
