I Lost the Weekend Post &#%$!!!

* I lost not only a couple nights of work on the aggregate, but the scaffold I use to organize postings. I just... fuck! I'm going to do what I can to put it all back together, but things will inevitably be lost. It was more than six hours to fix, not counting the time I'm going to have to spend trying to figure out the tumblr programming data lost. It is exhausting and frustrating and something I did not need on top of everything else. (I started today with hours of shakes every time I tried to get up, then the tooth, then this, then a time dependent housing thing I'm going to have to sort out somehow using a shitty porthole.

So they are not going to fix the problem where only white neighborhoods get clean running water, but they are going to overthrow democracy in order to prevent black residents having any say in their government or any chance to fix the problems white Republicans caused by only funding part of the water infrastructure.

I know this is a wildly controversial opinion, but I don’t think parents should be allowed to permanently and deliberately harm their children.

* Friday was the dentist. I was an hour in the chair and they only waited the minimum for numbing to give you an idea. I slept through most of it. I am not liking the bite. It's slightly off, I think, but not so off I'm unlikely to adjust fairly quickly. I am concerned by the alarming sound it made this evening though. I'm worried something might crumble.

* Saturday night, I discovered that it was not the new filling causing the trouble, but a rather large one directly above it causing the trouble. Nothing can be done until Monday. I guess I'm going to spend the morning waiting for an emergency slot at my dentist Monday. Sigh. In related news, "Ouch."

* Sunday Night: Dammit! Another piece just fell off and my tongue is torn ragged that side. I am not convinced the piece that came off this time was resin. I am worried I'm going to need another crown.
