Heat, Arguments and a Wisdom Tooth
Time for another quick update, which I’ll start by saying that, after a rainy and stormy May and first half of June, summer seems to have unfortunately arrived in earnest as of last weekend. Highs are now steadily over 30°C, even exceeding 35°C at times, and we’re told that this is nothing compared to what July and August will be like, so it’s going to be highly unpleasant, to say the least.
This also means that I should clean the dust from my computer, especially that gathered inside the CPU heat sink, but I’m hoping it’ll make it at least until the start of July without hitting the temperature alert levels I have set and only do it then, to have a better chance of only needing to do it once. Granted that those alert levels are quite low and I could likely put them even 10°C higher without problems, but this is the sixth summer this computer will have to go through and I certainly don’t want the temperatures to end up higher than before, seeing as the risk of failures only increases with time.
Otherwise, I seem to be getting into arguments, even public ones once again, or otherwise losing people I’ve been talking to lately. Granted, sort of lashing out at a person who’s been ignoring me for a long time seems to have made her talk to me again somewhat, though I still doubt it’ll last, but at this point I guess that the one person I have been talking to quite a lot for the past year or so is lost after we snapped at each other over something she did, or more exactly over something she ended up not doing because of certain other things she did, and I find myself upset enough by that to not exactly care to try to patch things up.
Last but most definitely not least, severe pain for about a day and a half from my lower-left wisdom tooth, following the otherwise more normal levels of pain experienced recently in that area that made me think it had just finally decided to come out, made me end up seeing a dentist yesterday and the news was about as bad as it could be. The tooth itself is probably quite fine, but it’s still completely under the gum, which was slightly infected, quite stunted and has no room to come out, pushing quite heavily against the one next to it, which seems to already be slightly bent as a result, so I was told it’ll only get worse unless it’s removed, which obviously implies surgery.
At least it stopped hurting now as long as I don’t touch the area, and in fact it already had by Monday evening, and was told that it should probably leave me alone for a while, especially after having some antiseptic placed there, but chewing or brushing my teeth is still a big problem in that area and it will remain so for weeks to come, seeing as the surgery is scheduled for next Thursday and I imagine it’ll take quite a while for the area to fully recover after it’s done as well. That’s not something I care to think about any more than I have to before I get there, but I do anyway, so I imagine that my state of mind will get even worse with every day that passes.
