Shopping and Dentist Visits

8/22/2008

4 Comments

 

 The past few weeks have pretty much been about shopping and prepping.

 I had to buy a nice coat. I went to the mall a few weeks ago, saw a coat at one store and feel in love with it, but I decided to wait until I'd seen options at other stores. (Bear with me, or else skip to the next paragraph if you don't want to hear a boring story about coats.) Right enough, I saw another really cute coat at another store. It looked amazing on me. so I was in a dilemma. In the end, I decided to get the first coat.  Later, I regretted that decision as I thought the second coat looked better on me. I went back to the mall a few days later and purchased the second one with the intention of returning the first. After a while and after trying the two coasts on in succession, I figured that the first coat was better because it was sturdier. I was all set to return coat number two. Before I could do that I chanced upon a delightful third coat at another store which was practical and looked good on me. So, in the end, I returned coat number one, and now own coats number two and three. I think I'm happy with my  choices.

On another note, I've had seven cavities filled this week in two sittings. Some people hate going to the dentist, I rather like it and I especially like getting cavities filled. I know, you may think I am peculiar (if you did not think that already) but it's true. I guess I like the sensation of it. The part that I don't like is when the anesthetic starts to wear off. I hate the itchy tingly feeling that comes with it.  Also I wish that the dentist chair that I had to lie in was a bit more cushy. It hurt my head to lie there while the dentist was pushing and pulling on my teeth and jaws.

I've not yet really started to  pack. I cannot believe that I have a mere ten days before I leave. I am starting to feel slightly nervous and  I have these short flashes of emotion like "Wow, I can't believe I'm leaving" or "OMG, I'm scared",  But I'd buried those feelings so deep that I can push them under quite easily again and pretend that everything is normal. And nothing out of the ordinary is going to happen. At all.

Heh, well it's good that you like going to the dentist. It's a good thing that you got those cavities fixed. It would be pretty uncomfortable later on if you just left those alone. It's a bit of a doozy to have the anesthetic wear down, but it's not so bad either.
