11:38 That's it. I'm done with my teeth. Three incisive pulled out in one appointment. I asked the dentis to smell them. First was smelling like a fungal infection. Like a yeast. Like how it's smelling in the apartment right now. Second, next to it, less, and the third i couldn't smell any.

Fungal, after 4 months of antibiotics. I killed the heck out of those in my body.

I figured it was the veneers. But how can be sure now, the smelling one had the veneer fallen months ago. The bulges at my mandibles, infected lymph nodes. It went all the way to my legs where the blood supply was cut due to much sitting.

I'm gonna be having fun, eating with a straw until it heals and then soft food until i get the new dentures done. BTW, i already started to feel the pain.

It has been what, a week since i didn't check the bins and lawn and stuff. They now started to let the bags in plain sight on the lawn. Trying to compensate for the low temperature? Also they didn't pick the leaves. Last time, they mowed and leaves got automatically in the bag of the mowing machine. It looks like i'm up to cleaning the yard, again. Last year they came to clean the day after i've already done it.

11:56 That was just an empty bag. There was a full one around the corner of the building on the right but was knotted. Double bagged and knotted. One more on the ground next to the bin with a lose knot. It must have been on top of the lids and fell when they emptied it. It looks like they took the bags thrown behind the bin and put it on a side when they emptied it today.

Then i thought. Maybe i shouldn't have been there, could have contaminated my new wound with bacteria from the bin. With the cold outside and stuff.

BTW i got an enormous lower lip with blood on it.

I think i'm gonna make a run to the liquor store.

BTW seeing that movie with JLO last night defending alone whatever gave me lots of courage for today's visit with the dentist. I recommend it (or similar first person fighting movies) for situations like these.

1:45 Yeah i went to the liquor store and stuff. Totally random, that is, not planned. I needed a drink after teeth extraction. I bought a green colored bottle with cheap weird tasting gin though i was advised not to. At the counter, the card machine had some... miscommunication problem, had to run the card twice.

2:05 Is that a cascading Shivalinga? Is that a Beetlejuice jacket (way before the movie).

I remember when i first heard this song. It was September 1978. I was in a train station at Mărășești, Romania. We were a huge group from Suceava, other counties going to Galați, for the 9 months mandatory military stage before college.

It was smelling like cooked bones from an animal glue factory nearby. 

Was dead tired from drinking all night, the smell was almost unbearable, and there was this guy from Suceava, my future roommate in the second year in college thrown on the shiny finished concrete station's floor and strumming realy hard a weird sounding guitar and singing it obsessively over and over and for some reason i was understanding cod or code, instead of cut (never heard the original until years after i got here in the US).

But now i think i might have got it right. The glue factory there, next to the  huge post WWI mausoleum (full of bones) was giving a wrong message to every passer by.

Or maybe it was a reminder of the dramatic cut of the territories of multi-national Austro-Hungarian empire (was reduced, to today's, well, Austria and Hungary) right after that war. The loss of Romanian majority Transylvania.


4:22 A whole revolution upstairs, with objects being dragged, dropped, heavy steps, while we are trying to eat.

4:45 Like many times before. We finished eating, she stopped.

8:00 Started to have pain in the evening, including sinuses area. I started taking again Augmentin, since he gave me a new prescription so i won't run out soon. Within an hour the pain is gone. Wanted to go smoke a cigarette but there's too much irritant smoke already. The kind that irritates my airways.
