I started out in such a good mood yesterday, but I became more and more depressed as the day progressed. By bedtime, I was in complete self-loathing mode. I don't know what's wrong with me.

To make things worse, my back is killing me. My spine is stupid and curls to the side. It looks a bit like a mirrored upside down question mark. (¿ - Not THAT curved, but you get the idea.) It doesn't really absorb shocks the way a normal spine should so from time to time my back will hurt, especially if I'm carrying stuff and putting a lot of weight on my back. I haven't been lifting anything though so I have no clue why it hurts or why it won't go away.

I have a dentist appointment tonight that I am not looking forward to. Laying on my back for an hour is not going to be easy at all. :(

Nightmare trip to the dentist. :(

After numbing me, the dentist walked away for half and hour. After he came back and drilled some holes in my head, he walked away again for about 10 minutes. Meanwhile blood is filling my mouth. Then he put these bracers around my teeth that cut into my gums and made me scream. He kept tightening them and wiggling them around.

My mouth hurts. :( I can't find my painkillers. Ben seems to not care. I hate life.
