Back at the Dentist
Today was another good day, surprisingly. I had a horrible night last night... I was int the bathroom from 3am to 5am. I woke up at 12:30 feeling good, so I got up and got ready to go to work. I made it into work and talked to the people in the dental section about my tooth hole that's not closing. I worked at the Information desk for an hour and a half before the dentist called me. I was the only volunteer there since everyone else was at the anniversary party for another one of the satellite clinics. I covered for Daisy for a while, and then went to the dentist. They did the same thing they did last time- took an x-ray, packed and filled the hole and I was done. The x-rays show that I'm healing, just slowly. They did tell me to come back on July 2nd when the original dentist I saw comes back from vacation. The jawbone that's sticking out is starting to heal as well. It's just taking me a long time and I don't know why.
After I got done with the dentist, I went home and took a nap. I was so tired from not sleeping well last night that it felt so good. Geo and I woke up at 5, went to Taco Bell and had dinner. He dropped me off at home and then dropped off the truck at his dad's. Geo doesn't want to be home tomorrow when the inspectors come for the apartment, but I don't know where we would go. There's not really a place where we can sit for hours apart from a fast food place. I'm way over my calories for today, so I don't want to go back unless it's to Wendy's, but there's none close to a bus stop. I could walk it, but Geo would have trouble with it, and he's in enough pain as it is. He and I have been cleaning like crazy for the past couple of days for this inspection.
I talked to Geo about me not wanting to get a permanent part time job at the clinic since I don't know how I'm going to be come winter. I had a really rough time this winter with all the stuff going on in February and March, missing work all the time. I don't want that to happen again and get fired. I like working at the clinic too much to jeopardize my chances there. As it is right now, I'm still not reliable. I didn't work at all last week, and I didn't want that to happen again. Geo is making me miss work tomorrow so I can be with him if the inspectors come while we are home. It's not like I know if we can go somewhere when they are supposed to be here. I have a bus pass for him to be able to use. I think tomorrow we might be able to get his renewal for his bus pass. It was due in April, but he didn't have his paperwork from Social Security.
While eating at Taco Bell, the pack that they put in my tooth hole fell out. I was trying my best, and not using a straw and chewing on the other side of my mouth, but it fell out anyway. I'm not going to go back for another one, since the dentist is sick of me lol. I do need to go back tomorrow and take the survey for the dentist because I was watching them and they made so many hygiene errors. They took the tools out of the sterilized bags behind my back (they are supposed to do it in front of you so you can see) with bare hands (no gloves). The dentist and hygienist would swap back and forth, one in gloves and one with bare hands. I didn't hear them wash their hands or anything. I didn't say anything, just made sure to get names so I could report properly. I don't want them to get fired, but you have to do things a certain way to be sterile. They weren't doing it, and I don't want people there getting infections from them doing it wrong.
Mood today was good. Even with the pain and stuff, I was in a good mood. I don't know where this good mood came from.... maybe my depression just lifted for a bit. It's nice, though.. I'm not complaining. I even wanted to go for a walk today, but put it off since I had to finish cleaning for the inspectors. It's random. We don't know until they knock on our door if they are coming. It's random, they might choose to just look at a few apartments, or a lot of them. We just need to be ready for them to come. Food today was bad... I was over my calories by 100. I know it's not a lot, but it seems like it to me. I had 2 oat and honey bars for breakfast, chicken gumbo soup for lunch, and a Taco Bell taco salad for dinner. It didn't help that I was drinking soda as well. I should have gotten my own drink and gotten some tea instead, but oh well. It's cheaper for Geo and I to share, so that's the way we do it. Cheaper is better!

Good Luck with the possible inspection!
you have been busy! what inspection and how often do they come? i wouldnt want to be there either but your right, where would you go? hopefully they will be in and out and all will go well. cleaning, esp. when you are doing everything is exhausting, you did good! i think for now it is a good idea to wait to get a permanent job, your thinking is correct. you want to start when you know you are ready to be able to go in each day you are assigned. i know its easy to say, but try not to worry about the extra calories. i know, look whos talking, lol
