And I Shall Never Wake Up That Early Again
by pinkagendist
I had to get up at 8am today. For someone who has insomnia (regularly), that’s a horrible thing. Especially horrible since it was to go to the dentist. I hate the morning light. I hate mornings in general, actually. They remind me of childhood. Having to get up for school. The horrible powerlessness of having no control over one’s life. Sometimes I’d sleep with half of my school uniform on just to get an extra 5 minutes of sleep. The dentist had no other time at such short notice, so I had to take it. He removed my one and only crown and wants to remove my two remaining lower wisdom teeth. He also wants to do something with a laser that’s going to cost a thousand euros. My next appointment is on the 4th (in the afternoon). I’ll let him do what he wants and then probably spend another four years without going. I’m on antibiotics and supposedly not supposed to have tea, coffee or alcohol today. I’m also not supposed to smoke, but I’ve already broken that rule and had a cigarillo after a very light lunch of pipérade. I’ve been able to keep to my 3 to 5 cigarillos a day rule without much trouble. When someone offers me a cigarette I still take it, but that’s not a big deal since I don’t leave the house much. Moderation seems a much more pleasant way to live than total abstinence. If I can’t do things I enjoy, what’s the point of being alive anyway?

8.00am shouldn’t be too early friend unless you sleep at the wee hours of the night.
Get well quick
I only fall asleep at around 4 or 5am. Even then I wake up a lot throughout my sleep…
In that case waking up at 8.00am would really be too early!

Totally agree!!! You know you’re an adult when you realize you can live your life this way.
Sorry about all the chaos with your chompers.
Oh, Pinky, surely you enjoy something that’s healthy?
I don’t think so
I hate the dentist too.
Good luck for your next appointment.
Hi, hope the dentists went ok. And I think you said it all in that last sentence! All the best
Early morning, dentist and no tea. Well, there isn’t a single thing going right with your day. I can only hope they forget to bill you to make the torture worthwhile.
Dentist have a crap job. Nobody really likes there dentist. I also battle with sleep. My problem is that I awake every day at around 4 30-5 after really battling to sleep. Hope you get better soon. Cheers Ivan
I hear you Pink, I’m not a morning person either, though I work nights. If someone wakes me up in the morning or while I’m asleep and I haven’t gotten my sweet sleep time is subjected to a really nasty mood
“If I can’t do things I enjoy, what’s the point of being alive anyway?” Absolute truth!
Although I agree with you on the moderation, for me when it comes to smoking only abstinence works. Knowing that I’m no longer a slave to cigarettes is a way better feeling than cigarettes ever gave me. I hate going to the dentist too, but I go anyway. I hope you feel better soon.
PS Has anyone ever told you that you have an infectious smile?
I haven’t been to a dentist in nine years. It’s awesome.
