Nothing, Really

i hate when i forget things that someone told me a while before but never reminded me about. this is because i often forget those things and if you expect me to remember them and take zero steps to ensure that i've remembered them, i'm likely not to. this morning would be a good example of that. my wife kept waking me up casually, then started yelling at me. i asked why she was insisting that i get up, when she looked at me like i was stupid and reminded me that today we were going to the eastern shore to celebrate her dad's birthday.

yeah, i probably should've remembered that.

but she didn't remind me yesterday. granted, she shouldn't have had to, but it's kind of the way i am. i need lots of reminders, especially at the last minute. you'd think that someone with a memory like mine, i'd use a day planner or at least the calendar on my phone, but i don't really use it much. when i do, i always remember stuff, so i should probably get more organized and do that for more things. i'm one of those people where if the alarm doesn't go off in the morning, i don't wake up. i basically have no internal clock, or it's just so angry at me from all the years of abuse and change and misdirection that it's completely given up on working.

anyway, the birthday celebration was fun. the girls gushed about how much they loved the video i put up with them in it, and instantly bombarded me with ideas [mostly bad or derivative to the point of copyright violation] about what to do for the next one. i should just make them their own channel! we ate bourbon chicken, talked and hung out for a few hours and then it was time to go back. on the way home, we visited christin's friend in the hospital to see her newborn son, which was good for christin and boring for me, and then headed back.

fell asleep almost immediately and woke up just in time for the raid tonight [more ulduar hard modes, we're about halfway through the meta-achievement]. i'm not taking the percocet much anymore, but i've been super drained lately. i think i mentioned that yesterday. is it sad that i can't remember that far, back to what i wrote only last night on this very blog? i could find out by clicking a button, but that's far too convenient. no, i think i'll just let it slide. the swelling is still pretty bad on my mouth, so i'm kind of concerned that there may be a problem. it could just be from the infection. if it's still this prevalent on monday, i'm calling the oral surgeon back. church tomorrow.
