No idea it's a small portion of the crown of my molar that broke off but a good chunk of tooth is still intact and there's no pain so I think the pulp and root is still intact . My insurance is confusing enough but I'm pretty sure it's NJ family care which is basically the state insurance which might cover non cosmetic medical needs like dentistry.
I looked it up a crown replacement without insurance if they don't take it can run from 500 to 1500 dollars. Which I don't have now and the minimum I might.... Might make on a good weeks pay but it'd be almost all of it.
And for the record I broke my tooth by accident, either it was an injury I tripped and my face hit the side of my cement porch or it was because I grind my teeth in my sleep or sleep with my mouth pressed up against the wall which put stress on my teeth for hours on end

That sounds like a fucker, both for your face and your wallet. My sympathies, tooth pain is agonising.

It's only Tuesday but my god this has been a long week so far. On Sunday I found out I'd somehow lost my only car key. I had it on my keychain with all my other keys and I've got those, so I don't know how the fuck it got lost but now I need a new one. The dealership said they'd cut and program a new one for me if I get the car to them, so I gotta call a towing company to get them to drag it to the dealership across town. Overall I'm going to be out $450 to get a new key and I'm honestly pretty pissed because that's a lot of money for me.
That's not the interesting part though, last night I was working out in my living room (my room mate bought a bunch of weights and shit when the pandemic hit), and I heard some loud ass banging and yelling coming from upstairs. Normally I just ignore it since its normal but this time the banging started getting really loud, only to stop abruptly. Next thing I know there's a frantic knocking on my door and there's this woman standing there in her underwear crying. My other neighbors are coming out to see what's going on and she blurts out something about her boyfriend hitting her. My neighbor got her some clothes and took her inside while I called the cops. Long and short of it is turns out those banging noises weren't obnoxious neighbors, they were domestic abuse.

Working from home today because my brand new washing machine has sprung a leak. Luckily, somebody is able to come over today to look at it.

Went to the dentist about my tooth finally. Didn't need a root canal or anything serious but a total crown replacement would cost 1100 dollars and they don't take NJ family care. So they cleaned out the tooth as best as the could smoothed it out and gave me a filling and an enamel cap.
Did it all for 200 even though it was like 300 plus. So at least the tooth is safe from further damage or decay but it looks smaller now. Said the cap can protect the tooth long term but I really need a proper crown replacement and a full checkup
So yeah I'm the plus side I won't be developing a British or nigga smile anytime soon.
But I'm not out of the woods yet... I just found a bug out bag to help survive...

Any advice on how to kick a bad habit, specifically benzos? I’d really rather not see a specialist unless I absolutely have to, as I don’t think I’ve reached that point yet.

Wait because of me? Because cracking a tooth was a real walk-up call for me. The rest of mine seem OK but ever since it happened I've bought two electric brushes and the different types of enamel strengthening toothpaste. And have used them after every single meal and snack even after drinking anything that isn't water

Yeah I've done it and it's shit. Woke up one morning and stopped everything. Best thing though. No pills in 2 years. Not even smoking anymore. Is my life better? Maybe. Certainly easier. Money,food ok. Have faith bro.

No, it's just a coincidence that we went on the same day and both got crown replacements.

I'm not on benzos but I'm trying to quit drinking. Keeping busy with hobbies/work is what helps me the most, I'm at my worst when my mind is free to wander. Also, I know my self-control is dogshit so I stopped lying to myself and just avoid being around the shit.

One of the mice has what is either mites or lice. The good news is that they were in their own cage, so chances are decent nobody else has them but I'm keeping an eye on everyone. The bad news is I can't figure out how they would have gotten them. Best guess is that they were in the bedding, but this is cellulose bedding and everyone had that in their cages. So now I get to go buy some ivermectin tomorrow and I'm basically sterilizing the cage to a fare-thee-well, replacing the bedding, cleaning any toys and hides and food dishes.
Oh, and he's covered in olive oil and he's really unhappy about it.

It was an unusual day. It started off with more belly button fluff that usual and I found myself staring into the bathroom mirror wondering where it actually comes from. A few minutes went by after confidently removing the fluff when I realized the cat had been staring at me the whole time. Suddenly a cool wash came over me and in that silence that followed between me and my cat I realized the source of the fluff may have revealed itself; and moreover that my cat has overplayed his hand.

My sleep has gotten bad enough that I'm trying melatonin. Being tired constantly sucks. My memory's shot, things I can understand and work with fine normally are now like trying to assemble furniture with instructions that are all "lorem ipsum" backwards, I'm irritable constantly and can't really enjoy things.

95% sure I finally got the coof. Had a pretty bad sore throat the last few days, chest congestion, and this kind of weak cough thing going on. I don't feel the need to cough constantly, but when I do I let out a bunch of shallow rapid ones in a row before I can stop. That on top of some general fatigue and mental fogginess.
Oh well.

Ever get totally fucking owned by life?
I'd tried fixing the bathtub drain for like 5 days, while waiting for the plumber to have time to fix it. I've done everything but pull the pipes. I've done the coathanger thing, pulled the drain mechanism and cleaned it.
Nothing. Still wouldn't drain.
Plumber shows up, pulls this little tool off his belt, yanks up a hair clog.
Tub drains.
Holy fuck.
The fucking "Professional Paradox" in action. You can do whatever you want, shit, you'll probably make it worse. The pro comes in and the fucking problem fixes itself. You ignore it until you finally call a pro, the pro looks at it, you're in a fucking hotel while the entire floor and the drainage system is replaced.
It just. Fuck.
Then to top it off I spilled coffee on my brand new keyboard. Nice job, asshole.
Then went to swipe my old as fuck debit card, it fucking broke, gashed my finger.
Then my wiper tore off driving home.
Ever had one of those days?

Vinegar and Baking soda. Dump a cup of baking soda, dump a cup of vinegar, plug the drain. May not have gotten the monster clog you may have had, but it helps me after giving my dogs a bath. One of em is a siberian husky. I know clogs.
