Still up

My dental abscess is ballooning at a great speed and it throbs so I can't sleep.
I'm wondering whether to take some painkillers and try to sleep - in which case, I won't wake up early enough to phone for an emergency dental appointment - or to stay up and sleep after I have seen the dentist.

Going to sleep for a short while and then waking up again is terrible. I really can't do it. It leaves me muzzy-headed and feeling hung over and miserable.

Come to think of it, I should stay up because Sean will be popping in tonight and I have an early start on Wednesday. Between my Mum and I, we are going to look after Wendy on Wednesday while both of her parents are in college. Her Nursery School placement will be available from next week so there shouldn't be a childcare problem after that. I'm glad my mum is coming along to help as I don't think either of us could physically cope with a very active toddler on our own for a whole day. If there are two of us, it will be a great deal easier. We both adore Wendy - she is such a sweet little poppet. It isn't a question of affection - it is a question of stamina.
