Owwy Owwy Owwy!

No, that's not a spelling mistake celebrating something Australian. Last night was a bit of a shocker. Last night, I had a case of diarrhea, a toothache, and then just as I was settling down to sleep, an earwig bit me (not in the ear, luckily). That made the whole night a restless one. Every little odd feeling I felt had me reaching down to make sure there wasn't some insect down there.

Toothache got worse today. Was literly writhing in pain. At one point I felt like I was about to throw up because of the pain. I managed to get a dentists appointment (something I should've done a long time ago). I hate dentists. I hate going there. I especially hate the high speed drill that they use. But I needed to go. I needed a root canal done (and the dentist said that He couldn't see how I'd left it for so long, it was so inflamed). But the hard parts done now, and the dentist was actually pretty nice. So I'll be going back there, a lot more regularly than I have been in the past.

That's it for now.

This blog gets the award for the highest concentration of skin-crawling phrases.
It ends hopefully. I think we can all learn from this.
Ok, I had to stop reading that halfway through
Sorry, guys, I didn't realise it was so graphic. I've updated the warning from graphic to Extreem graphic
I got bitten by an earwig when I was about six years old, and have had a lifelong phobia/homicidal rage against earwigs ever since. I've improved to the point where I can occasionally let one live, and where I don't instantly give a high-pitched squeak upon finding one.

They hurt! Not as much as your teeth, though. Hope that's all over with!

Am I the only one who's never seen an earwig?
No, you're not. I never even heard of one before looking it up here. :)
