Weirdly, I am more tired after <i>almost<\/i> getting a good night&#8217;s sleep than I was when I was getting two hours a night.  It&#8217;s like my body was struggling to get juuuust that little bit more that would help.  The doctor gave us Tylenol with codeine but we didn&#8217;t have to use it.  Apparently Motrin is the wonder drug that we hadn&#8217;t tried that helped.  The doctor said he thought she was a little swollen along her jaw so there&#8217;s probably some referred pain there.  She has a dentist appointment tomorrow right after school, which was the earliest we could get in.  I&#8217;m not entirely satisfied with the level of responsiveness from the dentist&#8217;s office, so if you happen to know of a good pediatric dentist in the Charlotte area, send that info my way.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/93468786@N00\/3607862220\/\" title=\"goldbug cu by emisanboo, on Flickr\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2423\/3607862220_fcc1639bd9_m.jpg\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" alt=\"goldbug cu\" hspace=\"5\" vspace=\"5\" align=\"right\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nTo give myself a little stress relief, I&#8217;ve purchased <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thesims3.com\/\" target=\"blank\">the Sims 3<\/a> and have actually found a little time to play.  My two roommates, Pravmati Shah and Tiphanee McKenna, are getting along surprisingly well.  It&#8217;s a fun game, but I have to allot myself a certain amount of time and then stop because it&#8217;s easy to get sucked in.<\/p>\n<p>As part of a Girl Scout badge, Em and I put a sweet potato in water and watched it grow.  It was doing pretty well before the raccoon started gnawing on it.  Here&#8217;s a picture of one of its sicklier leaves.  I took the picture because of the gold beetle on it.  It was so tiny that at first glance I wondered how a jewelry bead had gotten on it.  I don&#8217;t know what it is, but it&#8217;s very pretty.
