I tried the halfling barbarian idea once. I can't remember what happened. I think we only played once. I wanted a chance to climb up on the enemy and stabbity stab stab until dead. Never got the chance. I did have a chance to roleplay a little. I wanted to intimidate an orc prisoner in a cell. I jumped up on the bars, reaching through and yelling let me at em.
A halfling trying to intimidate an orc wasn't enough for the DM. He said the orc didn't understand common. I think it would have made it better. One day I'll give it another go.

Tomorrow I go for a follow-up appointment with the dentist. I've had pain in my jaw when I open my mouth to eat and chew. It's hard to open wide enough to eat even a sandwich. This started a week after. My sister said she had a similar issue, said it was from the novacaine. Is it because a week later the novacaine wore off and this pain from what happened? Is it the injection causing the pain? Is it something else?

No clue!

You didn't have a similar problem?

No!

The worst part of my recovery is when stuff in my mouth winds up in the little fleshy pocket where my tooth was extracted. Even though I’m trying to chew exclusively on my left side, sometimes, things slide over. Most of the time, it’s not a problem, but if it’s like a shard of ice or some of the crust of toasty bread, it can be unpleasant.

Worse, though, have been the times when one of my daily meds gets caught, and starts to dissolve in my mouth. Generally, pills don’t taste good.

The problem I have besides the jaw pain is sometimes if I'm eating something like chips or crackers it might jab the spot. It's not real bad but I can sometimes taste a small amount of blood. So far no pills stick around but I have had things like small seeds hang around. Usually a swish of whatever I'm drinking will clear it out.

Tonight I had difficulty eating what I had taken for lunch. I stopped at QT and bought a bag of chips. I was eating them slow and mostly one at a time. That worked out. Also I had small snack bag of these oatmeal cookies. They're for pack lunches. I was eating those one at a time. Little nickle sized cookies. Doing things this way allowed me to savor what I was eating more.

Q: What do you call guests that over stay their welcome?
A: Children.

I get really bored at work sometimes. lol
I told my mom once after making a bad joke; I know I'm not as funny as I think I am. THAT got a laugh out of her.

The dentist thinks the pain is from muscle soreness. His advice was to stretch the muscles out as often as possible and take Motrin as needed. Open wide like I'm yawning. That won't be problem tonight. Eating some of the things I have avoided should help to. I've been awake all day because the roof was being replaced. The roofers are cleaning up now. I hope to get a few hours before work.
