My hope that my big kidney stone had been crushed into dust, was crushed around two o'clock this morning. I started to feel achy enough to pop a pill, which I had avoided earlier in the evening. A little before 4:30AM it kicked in for real and I took another pill before I got up and danced around for the next hour or so. I probably should have gone with the higher dosage Oxycodone but I didn't. Which I guess worked out because if I had I probably would have been nauseous and not able to dance around my room. Although it may have also done something for the pain, which the Hydrocodone didn't even touch, and that would have been nice.

Today I didn't really do anything. I was still achy on and off throughout the day and spent most of my time laying on my bed, enjoying my heating pad. Later in the day I was finally able to move to my computer chair but it was still a little while before that was fully comfortable. I played guitar for a little bit but really I couldn't find the motivation to do anything. Not really different than any other day but at least today I kind of had an excuse.

Other random things. I watched Ghostbusters and a documentary about the Improv on Netflix. I thought about watching The Hobbit but that seemed like more of a commitment than I was willing to make. Maybe tomorrow if I can get a full night of sleep. My sister brought me two large cups of fries from Spangles, one of which I ate. They are probably my favorite fries.

Now I am feeling pretty tired so I think I'm going to try and go to bed. We'll see if my throat and kidney actually let me sleep tonight. I was annoyed last night not just by the pain and discomfort but also because it kept waking me up from a really cool dream. I managed to get back into it once but it was lost after that. So fingers crossed for cool dreams, and at the very least, a decent night of sleep.
