In A Vice

I've been going through a toothache situation for nigh on a week...
The pain goes entirely away sometimes; such as this afternoon. So I wish I hadn't told Lilly about the thing at all. Now she is liable to call me any time and demand an update as to the progress I have made on it. 

I was too lazy to go to the emergency room. Last night I went there and, after a couple hours decided to leave; not having brought a book to read and being subjected to that Seth Meyers late night guy whom I once watched through the entirety of one of his shows and did not laugh at all. I shook my head over the fact that there must be a lot of people who think he is funny...

Anyways, I walked up to the receptionist type nurse and said; "I'm not feeling very well at all, I feel like I'm gonna drop dead right here. I'm just going to go home and lie down.."
So, yeah I was low key trying to say that I felt so bad I was going home and not staying there....in the emergency room..
perhaps I thought she would tell me that, if I felt that bad I should stay and be seen...
She didn't get my sardonic humor; she was African American and they are know for having a lower average IQ than just about any other humans..
