Lunch today consisted of couscous with hummus and couscous with peanut butter and jelly. The main reason for using couscous rather than shredded tortillas was that I needed to use up the couscous, which had been sitting in the refrigerator for almost two weeks. These combinations were unusual, but they weren’t bad, really.
Today ended up being another off day for the blender, but I’ll probably use it again tomorrow.
As I expected, the rubber bands weren’t enough to last me the full three weeks. In fact, I’m on the last three already. One of these three is much thicker than most of the others have been, so it restricts my jaw movements more than it probably is supposed to.
I’ll have to call the oral surgeon tomorrow morning to see if I can get more.
After my accident, I was mildly annoyed about not being given the chance to remove my shirt without having it cut. I’ve been meaning to post this picture for weeks, but a few days later, I looked at the cut-up shirt (which came home with me from the hospital), and I saw that the shirt had already lost its usefulness by that point. In addition to three large holes in the back, there’s a smaller hole in the right shoulder. Incidentally, I don’t know how I managed to get the holes in the back of my shirt without any damage to the skin in the area.

Monday was the first day in more than four weeks that my blender has gone unused. It’ll likely be heading back to work tomorrow, since I’m likely to need to shred a tortilla or two.
