the last 2 weeks especially... i had so many plans and things i wanted to get done, however the universe had other ideas.
Decided to take advantage of my health insurance and hit the dentist for a check up today before i leave (cause the uk isn't the best place to go for a checkup) and ended up getting talked into having one of my wisdom teeth removed...
i've known since i got bored one day at work, when i first started taking xrays and took one of myself that i have impacted wisdom teeth, though swore that i'd only have them removed when i couldn't open my mouth anymore..
anyways the dentist today somehow convinced me that he could get one of them out quick... it was kind of halfway out and growing sideways... and i have to say there's nothing worse than hearing the sound of crunching bone, when you know it's coming from you.. at one stay when he was trying to get the tooth out i could feel my whole head moving in time with his twisting..and i was straining against it... ick!
needless to say now the whole left side of my face aches a bit now
and because i'm flying and the tooth was extremely close to my sinus, i'm not allowed to blow my nose until after i land in the uk :O( (so no crying at the airport for me it seems!)
though he was happy to inform me that the other two i definitely need removed are going to be jaw cracking ones, and i should probably opt to have myself knocked out for them!
so there's something to look forward to
haven't really been up to anything blog worthy, just been spending my time cleaning out my room, catching up with friends and family, and just enjoying everything i've missed...
been on a few massive binges with all things OZ has to offer, from
- Gloria Jeans Iced Chocolates... yum (UK version is a glass of cold milk, with a squirt of topping.. so not the same!)
- Twisties
- red tulip easter eggs (is it wrong to eat easter eggs so far from easter?!)
- Freshly baked bakers delight bread... mmm fresh bread
- The Hogs Breath Cafe... mmm yum again
- Red Rooster
- Cordial mmm love the Apple Berry (still trying to work out if i can justify 2KG of my baggage allowance for it... mmm)
- Diet Vanilla coke
- Donut king donuts
- starburst lollies (and the variety)
Funny how it's all food related!
and i was really craving a meat pie today (considering i don't really like them it's crazy!)
probably a good thing for me to be leaving sooner rather than later...
It's a crazy feeling seeing people for the last time again, as tash put it "i've already done this before, why are you making me do it again?"
I went to dinner the other night with some friends and sat just soaking it all in, the atmosphere the sounds of their voices, the location, the crazy drunks sprawled on the footpath dressed in wifebeaters and thongs..
it's feels so right to be here, and so wrong to be leaving sometimes..
how easy it would be to slot back into my old life..
yet i love the uk too, and all the things it brings, and the advenures still to be had..
so yay only 2 more sleeps and i'll be on a plane...
i keep going though extreme rushes of emotions from highs to lows to highs again... it's like riding a huge ongoing rollercoaster.. and they just hit you suddenly
I also hate goodbyes... maybe i can sneak away in the dead of the night
