Well, with OD being completely retarded, it’s been forever since I’ve written. It hasn’t been TOO busy around here. It was Naomi’s 18th birthday on Thursday 🙂 and I got my wisdom teeth out on Friday.

*giggles* Laughing gas is fun! I was pretty much pain-free on Friday, completely numb in fact. Spent the day trying not to drool on myself, attempting to eat pudding and Cream of Wheat, and entertaining myself with the magazine Rachel brought me in my care package (are YOU sexually generous?), and then watching “Seven” and “The Emperor’s New Groove” with Mitch. It wasn’t quite the hellish day I thought it would be…

Then Saturday rolled around and I regained all feeling in my mouth. By now, I’d gone about 36 hours having eaten two bowls of Cream of Wheat, a cup of pudding, two milkshakes, and a bit of Gatorade. So most of my “not good” feelings were coming from hunger. But I wasn’t in too much pain and decided to call up the guys and see what they were up to. Mitch and Andrew came over and we ended up going to Tyler’s. We went for a drive in his new car…it rides really nicely. Personally, I would have gotten the beamer, but…

We went back to his house and hung out in his room. That was cool because I’ve known him forever, and never seen his room. In fact, that was only the second time I’d been to his house. The four of us just talked and stuff, I think I fell asleep for a bit…Melissa came over later and then I left with the guys. We went to Sentry to find food I could eat. We ended up getting a lot of Cheez Whiz…:) Don’t ask. Back to Andrew’s so he could wrap Naomi’s presents and I got to eat some melted ice-cream…peach cobbler. YUM. Andrew dropped us off at Mitch’s so we could get his car, and we stopped in to talk to his parents. His sister and Emily were there, too. His mom was so nice…she said she hadn’t really noticed the swelling until I mentioned it. We went to Naomi’s at around 7:30. I had an 11:30 curfew because of the surgery, but by 10:30, I needed to go home and take some drugs. The party was fun…the guys with helium balloons (a “Top Gun” moment!), Jay’s card, and driving with Chris (The Beast II!) and Val. Mitch and I took a walk…*thinks* It’ll be a bit until I can figure that one out. I don’t know. There’s no time to devote to thinking, really. Way too busy…I think it’ll sort itself out.

Now it’s Sunday and I was supposed to go to his confirmation at noon. But when I got up around ten, I knew there was no way I’d make it. I had to take my medicine and it made me incredibly loopy and dizzy and tired and sick to my stomach. So sitting in church for an hour or so was not a good idea. He said it’s not that important to him and I know it’s not, so I’m not worried (or whatever) that I didn’t go…but I’m kind of wondering what his mom thought of it. You know, oh, hey, I could go out and party last night, but I’m not feeling well enough to sit in church? *sigh* Blah and yucky.

Food consumption today has been a Jell-O cup, a cheese stick (it took 20 minutes to eat!), a little smoothie, and a grilled cheese sandwich (THAT took 45!). I’m dizzy and queasy and I just want to sleep. But my medicine has worn off and I can’t take anymore because they don’t want me becoming dependent on it.

Aihhhhhhhhh…I want to just sleep and sleep and sleep…but I can’t.

Maybe I’ll take a bubble bath instead…:)
