Started making Penana stories visible that are six months or older because that way they don't get as much attention and therefore not as many spam comments.

So fucking pissed at myself! The hospital tried to call twice yesterday to set up my pre-op appointment, and I missed the calls. Tom says everything is fine and they'll get me in in the afternoon, which would be easier for me given what my schedule will be next week, but I'm gonna stress about it until I'm scheduled. Even so, it's ridiculous and unnecessary because they should have enough records saying that I'm good for surgery. I shouldn't need to go through any pre-op bullshit. I'm tired of filling out the same old paperwork over and over again and answering the same old questions over and over again as well. Gotta do the pre-registering for the surgery as well, which I'm sure will take a while. I spend almost as much time doing paperwork as going to the actual appointments. I'm just so sick of all the health work that constantly needs to be done, and I wish I could have just one week off from the constant appointments.

The only good news is that I've made enough to be able to cover most of, if not all of, the crown I'll need after my nose is dealt with. The fucking bastard woke me up last night again, and I swear if surgery doesn't fix this problem, I'm so done with this life! I've really got to resist the urge to lie on my stomach in my sleep because that's when I'm most likely to have breathing problems. I just sleep so much sounder that way.

I cut my hair a couple of days ago just above my shoulders. I just don't have the patience to deal with long hair. When you dye it all the time like I do and are older, your hair becomes a lot harder to manage when it's longer.

Decided I like single-wick candles instead of triple-wick candles. The candles last longer with single wicks and give off less heat.
