Teething Steam Decks

So I haven't been able to mess with the Steam Deck much. It came Monday evening instead of the Wednesday it was supposed to be delivered. I've downloaded a few games and put in maybe 30 minutes total playing Halo and Euro Truck Simulator. It feels lighter than I imagined and so far, so good. I think it'll be a nice thing to have to pick up and play occasionally.

Today, I my mouth feels mostly okay. Still weird and some pain, but ibuprofen is enough to handle it now. They took out all four wisdom teeth and the molar in front of the left bottom wisdom tooth due to a cyst that was eating away at its roots and my jaw. I had to have a bone graft for that area. I'll see them again in a couple of weeks to ensure it's all healing properly. The last several days have not been fun, pain wise.

My wife's heal seems to be getting worse, and financially we're operating in a deficit. I'm not sure how to handle things very well currently. But we'll just keep on keepin' on best we can. The tax return didn't help as much as we thought it would, to be honest. I just look at the numbers and scratch my head. The big cost is hiring help to assist my wife with the girls most days... But with her health, we can't really not do that. If it weren't for that, we'd at least break even. Such is life.

My youngest daughter is teething pretty hard right now. She's wanting held constantly and sometimes decides she doesn't, just to cry about being down... it's just a season, though. A very hard season in many aspects... but a season, nevertheless. There will be a day the flowers bloom. What a day that will be.
