Only 3 more antibiotic tablets to go! Yay.

The operation went well. They put a little needle in my arm (intravenous sedation) and I fell asleep for half an hour and in that time my dentist pulled out all my wisdom teeth. I woke up feeling fine - as if I had just woken up in the morning. As I rested in the patient's room, I mumbled to the nurse, "my teeeeeethhh" and she handed me a bag with all my teeth in it, haha. I got little to no bruising and I don't think my face was puffy either. Just a bit of jaw pain and loads of blood for the first day. I was allergic to the pain killers (I took some and then I got this non-itchy red patches all over me) soooo I stopped taking them.

Today, mama surprised me with a gift. I've been wanting this blue glass bear since the start of the year. Mum and I saw it at this trash and treasure/antique shop at the market and I'd visited it three times but just didn't want to spend my money on something i didn't need. We went to the market yesterday, mum told me I better go see if the bear was there and if it was I should buy it. When I got there the bear was gone and I just said to mum, "At least it has gone to someone who will love it."
I walked into the main bathroom to brush my teeth and I saw a package with my name on it and got really confused and went to mum and said, "why is there a gift?!" and she was all cute and had written me a card that said she should be able to buy me a gift even though it's not christmas or my birthday. In the card she wrote "something you have wanted but couldn't bear to spend your savings on" hahahah I love her and her thoughtful gift!! It is already so precious to me.

I baked a pie yesterday. The first pie that I have ever made alone. Mum said that I worried the whole way through. HOWEVER. My worrying made a really yum pie. worry = yum? Possibly not. But poached apples (in cinnamon and clove) in a pie with ice cream sure does.

Sarah X is in Canberra at the moment. Today we picked her up and took her to my house! She met my cat and also the stranger fat cat that sat outside my front door (I have never met this cat before. I thought it was a pregnant lady cat, but when I went outside to pat it/ roll it all around it seemed to be just a fat boy cat. I don't know why it is at my house, maybe it is the secret boyfriend of my kitty oh la la... or maybe my love for fat cats was so strong that it attracted the fat cat to meeee)

S looked through pictures of me as a kid, and then we played with lego and what began as innocent ideas ( "let's make an ice cream store out of lego!") turned into weird weird things / war between our lego figures and crazy hide outs. When we finished building we looked at each other in horror and worry at what we had created.

Later, we stuffed our faces with dumplings. I laughed afterwards because when I asked S what she wanted to eat she said, "something light!" and we ended up eating sooooo many dumprinngggszzz.

I took her to the park next door. They recently renovated the park... and added new things. There is this one swing (i must have written about this before) that was just SO COOL I WANT IT. It's a massive swing and when S was pushing me on it i wanted to fall asleep. It was so relaxing. I felt like I was a baby in the arms of my mother. That is how good it is. It's a time machine.

We rode the bikes down to the lake and later went to the supermarket to eat some callipo icey poles! It was so good to hang out with her in Canberra. She's the first uni friend to see my house!

Has been a happy day.
