Awwwwww yisssss. Got a B. They said I was really close to the A, but that I started messing up towards the end. Oh well, literary theory is abstract and hard, and after three sleepless nights I can't complain. I'm psyched on it being over. Going to take the rest of the day off from studying for the next exam. Well deserved

So yesterday one side of my jaw just randomly started swelling, like I felt something, put my hand on my jaw and felt it just balloon up. Now eating anything is excruciatingly painful, even just sucking down ice cream. This happened before and passed but I don't remember it being as painful.
Will I be able to function if I just take vitamins and drink beverages with enough calories and carbs? I'm starving but eating is not worth an hour of pain afterward. Any kind of food that stimulates saliva production is a no go. Thinking I have a stone in my salivary gland but I'm sure that's a $500 trip to the doctor I can't afford

It's kind of like the lights are on, but no one is home. What pisses me off is that it will be the third one of our fur babies we have lost this year. First was our other cat Mr Sylvester. He got bitten on the face by a Tiger snake earlier in the year. Went so quick. Died in my arms. Then Scruffy the dog. He got cancer of the bladder. So he had to get put to sleep. And now Eeyore the toothless wonder cat. I don't really know how much more sadness we can cope with. They are our children. It is cutting us deep loosing them like this.
Ugh, that's awful dude. I'm sorry. I dread the day I lose one of my cats so I spend as much time with them as possible. Hopefully some new furry friends are in your future
I am going to skip out of work and get this jaw thing figured out, don't really want to wait five days for this to pass and I need to fucking eat something. Hoping my parent's insurance at least covers part of this.
KaosCill8r, that's terrible. Just terrible. I hope you guys find it in you to get more animals when you've started feeling better. You seem like the kind of people who love and care much for your pets. And there are a lot of pets in need of safe and loving homes. I'm sure all of your furry friends had a wonderful life. Got to go snuggle with all four of my four-legged friends now.

My condolences.
But, you're doing the right thing.

Commented on a family members post about Ferguson because it was norrow minded and I thought I had the responsibility to shed light on things. Mini shit storm followed. Trying to defuse a family quarrel while trying to stand my ground sucks. Ugh.
I feel like it was stupid to even try. I wish I didn't care.

Thank you all for your support. It has been a very hard time for us, but as Pope said it was the right decision. His suffering is over. And Wes Mantooth and UglyCasanova we will definitely be getting more furry children. All our babies have been rescued from bad situations. There is always room in our hearts for the abused and abandoned. Eeyore the toothless wonder cat, the baby we lost today was rescued from a speed dealer who would put amphetamines in his water bowl as a kitten, just for fun . I guess that is why he was so small and lost his teeth at a young age. I saw this and came back later that night and stole him. Though I don't believe it was theft. We gave him unconditional love and he returned the same. He was the most affectionate cat I have ever known. He would kiss on demand and purred 24/7. He sounded like a cross between a dove and a race tuned V8 motor. He even took care of my beard grooming, while I slept. And he would snuggle in bed with me every night. The missus called us spooners. He will be missed. I miss him already. Anyway I'm sorry to ramble. I have just drank a bottle of vodka and I'm feeling very sentimental. Something I only get in these situations. Thanks again my fuzz loving comrades.

Sounds like you provided the best life for that cat
I'm sure I'll do the same thing when one of mine passes. Can't wait to see pictures of the next one(s) you rescue, whether it's a cat, dog, or some other fuzzy creature.
