Boo! Hiss!

I was under the impression that I had taken my three Advils (to make it the 600mg I was prescribed, until I can actually make it to the drugstore, so *makes taunting noise*!!!) around 2:20PM, and my tooth was starting to bother me, slowly but surely.
Then I remembered that, when I was out to lunch, I glanced at the clock, and it was 1:15PM and it had been about 45-50 minutes since the Advil. So I'm close to one hour after the 4 hours that Advil usually lasts for me. No wonder my tooth was starting to ache again.
No worries, though, it's nowhere near as bad as it was prior to the novocaine injection, it's a low throbbing and medium-itching sensation (mild dental pain registers as itching to my weird brain, which, in turn makes me want to clench and grind my teeth to ease the sensation, but that "would be bad" right now... ouch!).
So I just took more Advil and I'm waiting for it to kick in.
