Whinge warning..

Ugh. Toothache. I think it's going to have to come out. I'd like to have all my teeth ripped out and replaced. I haven't had nice looking unproblematic teeth since I was in primary school.

Speaking of school, I had to order Elder Minipeeler's books for next year by today, and they must be paid for in advance, no option for payment plans or anything. I've managed to get some pre-owned ones but you still need to purchase a reorder code for access to the digital component at a cost of $25 a pop. Even though I spent some time sourcing the stationary from elsewhere at a substantial saving, I was still up for half a grand. This time of year! I feel pretty Grinchy ATM.

Still, elder's primary school graduation was last night and was genuinely entertaining.

Sympathies for the toothache. My partner and I see the same dentist, use the same brand of toothpaste, eat mostly the same food, and I’ve got a mouth full of fillings and he hardly ever has an issue. Not fair. I dunno if it’s just unlucky genes or differences in diet growing up but it sucks when even as an adult doing all the right things some of us just have to suffer with our teeth.
