I was in bed before 10 last night. It was amazing. I slept all night long and loved it. Wednesday night I woke at 1 am and had this killer jaw pain. It was so bad I could not get back to sleep. I got up and took some ibuprofin, put a heat pad on my jaw and watched tv for two hours until I was tired and numb enough to fall back asleep. I felt like someone had punched me in the jaw, hard. It was not tooth pain, it was jaw pain. And it continued all day yesterday, my jaw was just sore.

Last night I was exhausted from being sore all day, and lack of sleep, and well, I work with kids. So I took a long bath to relax (that’s right, I’m a guy and I take baths on occasion. And yes, I do use bubbles.) Long bath worked. Less than an hour after getting out of the bath I was passed out on the couch, and shortly thereafter moved to bed.

I did have this weird dream though. I was in a small town hall where President Obama was hosting a dinner. He got to give his speech. I was sitting on a stage in front with Obama and his crew. Looking into the crowd I could see Tom Schwob and Janine Tocke. The both were smiling at me, and Janine was mouthing something at me, like she was trying to say “what the hell!?!” And after Obama was done speaking he left, and Schwob grabbed me and pulled me to the back. The flyer said I was an undersecretary of Early Childhood Education. I was kind of shocked but then Tom and I looked at the flyer again and the place where my name was changed. I did not know what this meant, but when I went looking for Obama he already left.

Anyways, regardless of this dream, I still slept very well. And feel quite refreshed today. And while my jaw is a little sore, it feels much much better.
