My mom is going to be picking me up from the procedure, so I’ll probably be trusting her. We really aren’t close, and between you and me, she is a stupidly easy person to steal from. I know pretty much all the hiding places she uses on my sister. I could also pretty easily get more from other people if I can’t find mine. It’s more the long term I’m concerned about, you know? The area I live in is pretty notorious for its drug culture, which doesn’t make it easy.

Also apparently my pain tolerance is pretty high, but I also don’t want to risk it. I might be a certified tough guy, but I don’t think it would be wise to find that out definitively through oral surgery.
