Today has just been one bad thing right after another for me, starting from last night. Some time or another, I lost a filling, so this will have to get fixed. Which will be in the morning. Since I have no insurance, it'll cost me a fortune out of my savings..... This particular filling was half-assed anyways, I got it just last year not long after I had my wisdom teeth pulled, and I swear it's because they did something to the tooth when they pulled the other out.. I still have all my original fillings from about 5 years ago and they're fine.

So my Mom then got mad when she learn how much money I had left, even though I've been trying to hold onto everything I can the past few months. She basically told me I need to and should watch my spending (what I've already been doing) and smarted that I should get a job if I'm going to spend money, which we both know I can't get a job right now. She came back to say she didn't mean it that way, but you can't take your words back...
Yes, I've spent money. My last splurge was the 3DS, but I've been saving everything I can since then so I can fill that gap. Since I stopped getting income I've spent about $1,000, but that's been over a year ago and I've had to buy animal supplies and pay bills too. It adds up, I've just been trying to buffer it.
But anyways it made me feel like a useless piece of shit who wastes money.

Oh, but it gets better. My Dad got angry when he learned about my tooth issue, that he might have to pay for it. (I am, though) Yay for supportive parents. Even my Mom kind of got mad about it. I feel like I'm always the issue here.

I wish I could stop there, but it gets even better.

Later that day (today), my Dad calls and tells Mom that something broke with my truck. Something about the brake lines being completely rusted in two and that we were lucky that we didn't wreck before then. My truck is headed to the crusher for some cash if my uncle doesn't buy it back. It was never really my truck to begin with since the idling was pretty messed up, but I'm sad to see it go. We've been on many fishing trips with it.


Coming home I notice one of our cats down the road towards the neighbors, it's the first time since we've had him (since he was born, he's 8 years old now) that he's noticeably been there, and if he keeps hanging around there it's only a matter of time before he gets killed either by their dogs or by target practice... He's big and slow and not very cat-like, that's why I've loved him so much... but I can't stop him or our other 2 outside cats from doing what they want.

I wonder what's next?

My Mom said if they can't do a filling tomorrow that they'll just have to pull the tooth, but it's not as bad as I thought even though I've protected it all day.
Since I'm uninsured I'll probably have to drain $250-$300 on this... Dios mio, money in the bear.


The bright spot in today was that I'm not as heavy as I thought I was, and I'm 2 pounds lighter than my last weigh-in, whenever that was.


Art wise...
What's art?

I can't make anything with my nerves shot about my teeth. I literally have nightmares about my fillings coming out or apart. When I noticed it last night my hands went ice cold and my stomach got upset and had been for most of this morning.
Fishing cuts into my art time as well.
But I will continue... soon, I hope.

I have something in mind, but I'm too young as an artist to do it.


But I have to get more support here. Otherwise I might stop. Most of the people I got my good, solid support and tips from are absent... So I've kind of lost my way.
This new thing I have in mind might help that, or at least get some more people interested in what I do, whether they want to help or not.
I'll be connecting my fanbases together. You'll see soon enough.

Once things settle down I'll make my announcement. I can't put it off much longer anyways

I'll check messages when I have more internet bandwidth to spare.
So much to go through....

No slowing you guys down, huh......

What do you have in mind? And I'll try to be a little more of a critic than I am if that helps.
Sorry to hear about your tooth. I'm so happy I don't have to have my wisdom's pulled. I'm afraid of the drug I'd need to go high for it. Both my brother's reacted differently, so I wouldn't know what to expect.

It's basically a quick "how to draw tutorial". Believe it or not.. I have about 5 younger friends who are just starting out drawing, and I thought it might help them to show them how to draw something, or at least how I do it.
I was actually going to video myself doing it and put it on my YouTube account, hoping to get a bit more traffic here from there and vice-versa.

But at the same time, I don't think I'm good enough at it yet to make it look good and be professional about it. But... if not now, when? I always say "this is just practice" but when's it not gonna be practice?

But I also don't want to make a fool out of myself.


Anyways..

Fortunately, my tooth is all right. I was in and out of there in less than 45 minutes, and it only cost me $90, I was fearing $250-$300 compared to what I've been paying at the other dentist. He was great, too. He didn't ask questions or say "Hey we need to do this other stuff to your teeth", he saw what I was talking about, explained everything he was doing, and that "This one won't be coming out", lol. It looks and feels like a part of my tooth as well.
So later I'm gonna go ahead and sign up to have another one of mine fixed.

When I got my wisdom teeth pulled, I only had 3 to start with. Two upper, but one lower (or something like that, I can't even remember XD)
They didn't give me any of that funny gas stuff, they just numbed me using needles like usual. They were easy... except for the one on the bottom. They had to cut it out because it was coming in sideways... I thought they were gonna break my jaw to be honest (in fact I had to sign a consent form saying they weren't liable if that happened).

Fortunately I survived and I'm alright now. Funny though that that wasn't the one that might have caused problems for the one I just had re-fixed.

I'm very, very used to dental work these days.. my mouth has so much money invested in it x.x

Mouths are important, but I'm glad you're okay.
