Did anyone ever watch My Pet Monster? Well, I don’t have a monster, but I do have a huge ass canker sore.

Last week was a close relative to death. It was a really terrible week. I have never felt more stress in my life. We had put in an offer on a place, but it didn’t go through. There was also some other housing drama and so by yesterday I was completely spent.

Well, before last week, I always believed that canker sores came from eating too much sugar. At least, that’s what my mom always told me. I think it has more to do with the fact it hurts to eat sugar when you have a canker sore. Studies have shown that 4/5 scientists believe canker sores are caused by stress. 5/5 scientists believe that I am beyond awesome on a scale of suck to awesome. In any case, it would seem that the size of the canker sore is directly related to the amount of stress… because I have the biggest canker sore ever. Check it out.
