I have learned, the hard way, that it doesn’t matter from whence the pizza came, if you have to pull the top off and blend it up and eat it all mashed together, it’s just not the same. 
 
David brought over a Zachary’s pizza for me today. Hooray for Dave!!!!!! Bonus super duper friend points. The pizza, Chicago style, had Italian sausage and cheeeeeeeeese. I couldn’t actually manage the sausage at all, so I had to bring in the blender. I scraped the top of the pizza into the blender, then ate it with a spoon…but that just tasted like Italian goop…no Zachary’s flare. So I put the goop on top of the crust and gummed the crust…made it a little better, but still not the same. Alas, I think I have to wait another month or so to really enjoy a Zachary’s pizza, crust and all. I think molars that touch are key in the pizza eating arena. 
 
Today I had 3 different visitors!!! David came bearing pizza. Nicholas came by bearing an assortment of candy I never knew existed that he thought I could partake of in my toothless state. Did you know that Sweet Tarts come in a GEL? Ot that you can get candy SPRAY?!?!? He also brought me a package of Cadbury Creme Eggs (straight from the bunny!) that I could sppon the yolks out of. I don’t know when I’m coming down off this sugar high…and Courtland has been totally dipping into my stash, so he’s a jitterbug too. We’ll never get to sleep. 
 
David, Nicholas, Court and I had a nice visit, and then Cynthia and Ty showed up bearing tons of yum. Hard Cider, Hard lemonade, hard food (Cynthia brought celery for herself)…there was a 24-pack of Coke, a Twosie Banana for me, dip, and other stuff I’m sure but you get the idea. They had also stopped by a store and rented a weird little video game for to play on the Wii called WarioWare Smooth Moves. Pretty crazyy. The ultimate video game for ADD. Mii’s were created, many games were played..I broke 200 bowling (w00t!), and then found out how much I don’t know about the ’80′s in Trivial Pursuit ’80′s edition. 
 
I made it most of the day before pulling on my jaw a little too much with all the laughing. It’a hard to talk about the Wii without sexually slanting every statement someone makes. Hard, but so funny. Tomorrow is laundry, er, Superbowl Sunday. Luckily the game doesn’t start anytime in the morning so I should be able to score some zz’s before heading over to Cynthia’s. She has offered to make tacos (minus the shells for me) for dinner and I am ON BOARD. Have I mentioned how when I was little I used to tell people I was half Mexican and that half resided in my stomach?  
 
I’m excited I had such a full day of people and interaction. I feel like I am getting much more stamina and returning to work in a while doesn’t seem so overwhelming. Granted, talking all day is going to be hard so I will have to work up to that, but I’m sure it will come sooner rather than later.  
 
I was out of the house all Thursday and that kicked my butt. I was inside all day today, but I was interacting with people more.  
 
I did mention to Court that I had stress dreams about being under water and unable to surface so I have to take a breath while still under and I realise I can breathe underwater but that it’s a dream and I probably couldn’t breathe in real life and that (the not breathing stuff ) is what I was experiencing 37 times an hour before my surgery. I have all these thought in the actual dream, so of course I have no idea if I am actually not breathing, but the feeling is so strong that I am sure if I had been awake before surgery sor those 37 times per hour episodes, it would feel like my dreams do now. That’s not to say the surgery didn’t work. it’s just something on my mind…how close to a cure did I get? How awesome is it I got a change to attempt that? 
 
My jaw is verrry tired now. Must to the pachooey chomp and bedses! 
 
Goonight.
