maybe I'll fight Dracula or something

Two nights ago I woke up at like four in the morning with stabbing pain in my earlobe and found out I somehow tore part of the skin right at one of my ear piercings??? And I really don't know how I could have possibly done that other than the working theory that a tiny ghost stabbed me in the ear while I slept. I really have no memory of doing anything that would have caused it. But it's healing well so hopefully it won't really matter in the future.

One of my back molars, that I got a really huge filling in five years ago, felt like it had a huge hole in it a few days ago. Like I woke up one day and I could feel something that felt like a huge crater in it with my tongue but it's so far back I can't really see what happened really well. I thought that maybe my filling fell out....somehow... except I don't really know if fillings do that. Anyways there was no pain so I was thankful for that and went to the dentist today.

Apparently, my teeth are clean and I'm doing a good job in keeping things clean and my filling is doing just fine BUT I FUCKING SOMEHOW BROKE OFF A HUGE PIECE OFF MY TOOTH AND I JUST DON'T KNOW HOW I DID THAT OR WHEN BECAUSE I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO IT. But I just need a crown so that should get taken care of in a few weeks.

I got my ears pierced for the first time ever! Regular earlobe piercings, that is. It hurt a lot less than I expected and after the actual pain of the needle going in, I haven't felt any pain since then so I think things are healing well. I have a follow up appointment in January and I want to get another set in my lobes (and then two higher up ones on the rims of my ears) so hopefully I'll get those done then.

Sleeping on my back to avoid pressing my ears into the pillow every night is horrible though. I'm really sick of it lmao.

I've been getting headaches every day for like a week or two now. Which is unusual for me. The last time this happened was when my eye prescription decided to randomly improve (after staying the same for years and years and years) and my glasses were too strong for a couple of months.

I don't think my eyes have changed recently. The only thing I can really think of is that I haven't been sleeping through the nights for a couple of weeks now. Like I'm generally getting a full night's sleep every night but it's broken up halfway through the night. I GUESS THAT DOESN'T REALLY COUNT AS A FULL NIGHT'S SLEEP THOUGH LMAO.

I started taking valerian root at night instead of melatonin. Melatonin works fabulously at putting me to sleep but it sends my mood into a hilarious spiral downwards. Which wasn't fun. The valerian root so far seems to be working great at putting me out AND also doesn't seem to be affecting my mood at all, other than maybe making me feel calmer? I think.
