Wisdom Teeth Out of Head, Sara tucked in Bed

Well, my wisdom teeth are finally out. I remember the Doctor asking if I'd seen the eclipse finish last night. I was pretty confused about how to answer because I had seen the moon being eclipsed, but didn't watch the whole thing and I didn't know if I should nod yes or no. I've come to the conclusion that I don't like "laughing gas". When the effects first started the desire to rip the nose mask off my face was nearly overwhelming. Apparently everything was easy and we were home by about 9:30am (after an 8am appointment). My face was/is all puffy and numb. In the car, I felt like I had a cotton swap stuck in my throat, but when I check there was nothing there. We got home and mom pointed out I should take my pain pills before I fell asleep so that when I woke up I wouldn't be dying of pain (good idea mom). But things are easier said than done. My whole mouth was numb so I couldn't feel if I was swallowing or not and I also couldn't tell if my lips were opened or closed which resulted in mom quick running for a towel.

Well, typing correctly is hard to do so I guess I will have to say goodbye.

Death I Can Understand, But I'm Not So Sure About Taxes.

I did my federal taxes, those were easy. I tried to do my Michigan state taxes, those are hard.

I just don't understand why it all has to be so complicated and why confusing instructions see to be the norm. I remember last year trying to do state taxes and ending up at one point in tears of frustration. I wish I earned enough that I could pay someone else to do my taxes.

Recently I received training to work at customer service. It is a frustrating position dealing with returns and everyone's complaints. Sometime the problems/excuses are funny and sometimes people are just really bitter, but I try to remain cheerful, or at least helpful, no matter what.
