The molar of the story

This is the view I had nearly all day today. Why, you ask? Because I had my wisdom teeth removed. I went to the doctor's this morning having dutifully starved and dehydrated myself for the sake of the anasthetic. They put me in the chair, attached all manner of electrodes and monitering equipment to my person (hey, look! My heart rate goes spastic when I think about what I'm about to go through, neat!) and finally, administered the sleepy drug intravenously. The doctor started chatting pointlessly about things, probably to calm me down, then it looked as if the room needed it's vertical hold adjusted, and I konked out. I was unaware of much after that, hazy ghostly dreams that I couldn't see properly, then I woke up and they had me walk to a recovery room. I remember thinking it felt like I wasn't touching the floor. I lay down in the recovery room holding Jason's hand while Brianna made a nuisance of herself until a nurse came in and asked if I felt well enough to sit. I did. I sat up for about a minute, they got a wheelchair, and I was permitted to go home. Oh, and I got to keep my teeth. (sweet! I hope the tooth fairy visits me tonight!) Gradually the blurry, loopy numbness has worn off all day and I feel pretty good now, although I'm just starting to swell in the face and mashed potatoes proved to be too much chewing for me to handle. They say tomorrow I should be really swollen and probably have more pain, too. Hopefully I'll do okay.

Rethinking long distance relationships

For Christmas my parents gave us a webcam so they could see the grandkids while in the comfort of their home in Nevada. Sunday nights are typically "video call" night. Why they would want to see this frightening scene of our living room, I'll never know. Tonight's call was special because my younger sister, Janina, is visiting them from California. She and Lynette were at our parent's house tonight just as the girls were getting ready for bed, so they all four on their side and all four on our side gathered around our computers for a conversation. What a world we live in. This is my older sister Lynette, younger sister Janina, mom, dad, and then myself, Brianna and Leigha. Jason was just plain squeezed out of the shot. I doubt he minds too much.

Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end

The Roving Imp celebrated it's one year anniversary tonight with Star Wars themed shows. There was cake and champagne afterward. It's been a heck of a year and I can't wait to see what the next year has in store for me, I can't believe I've only been improvising for a year. It feels like this is what I was made to do sometimes. Julie, Nifer, Carl and I went out afterward to celebrate. I enjoy hanging out with them. This is Denise, Brian (John, Julie, and Carl's other brother) and Nifer, who looks strangely Stepfordian in this picture.

Here fishy, fishy!

Tonight we had the option of doing four or five different things. We opted to do two of them. Option the first: Leigha's school's fundraising carnival. Of course we went. We got tickets and the girls played games and won prizes, they had a blast. Leigha is obsessed with those plastic vampire teeth things and got a neon green set with her prize tickets. Nice. Bri opted for the "heinous amount of candy" route. I think they both made wise choices. Option the second: MOPS fundraiser auction. Last year it was fantastic, I got a Coach purse for $5 and there was a toooooon of awesome stuff. This year's had less stuff, but nicer furniture. I bid on a couple rolltop desks but did not win. There was a couch I had my eye on, but it had sold by the time we got there. Oh well. Or...........was it? Apparently Jenny had bid on it hoping to get the bidding going on it, but went a little overboard and ended up buying it. For $35, which isn't bad, but still, what do you do with a couch if you don't want it? Luckilly for her we are buying a house and she knows we need furniture, specifically a couch. So guess what? We worked out a deal, and I have a new couch now! Yay! On the way to the auction I saw yet another Christmas tree abandoned on the side of the road. Yeah...um, it's April, people. What's up with that?

This morning I had a dentist appointment, the second in a series of three cavity fillings (I'm just getting all my dental work over in one shot, it's been a while since I've taken care of my mouth) and they numbed my mouth so much that my cheek was completely dead all the way up to my lower eyelid. It tingled when I blinked. Sweet.

*Whimper*

There is not a sadder sight in the world. And yes, those two boxes are both filled with shoes. Yes, after I went through the ones I got rid of. In my defense, some of them are in boxes under there and I do own quite a few platforms. I am so tired today. I did a lot of packing, cleaning, reconfiguring and there is still sooooooooo much to do. *sigh* I feel like I'm not getting anything done which is really discouraging when I've done so much. I did get to have two breaks today, once for yoga and once for Roving Imp rehearsal, so that was nice at least. Okay. I have to get back to packing now. *groan*

Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga.

Nifer and I went to the Uptown Theater today to see the band Spoon in concert. It was awesome. This picture of me is funky. Before the show I told her, "I bet we see someone else we know here." Sure enough, we ran into Nathan from Improv-Abilities. We said hi and he told us two other members of the group were there as well. Small world, or just small town? Either way, it was great being at a concert again even if it smelled of low quality weed where we were standing. FYI, I have never smoked weed, TRUST me on this one, but when it's cheap...it smells horrible and it's obvious. *coughs just thinking about it* Underdog is a fantastic song live, btw.

April Fool's, y'all!

Today was pretty jam packed with important stuff. Jason and I dropped off some loan papers, got some packing done, and the house inspection was today. This was the big thing I'd been waiting for before I could really begin to feel like this thing was going to go down. Yeah. It's going to go down. :-D Tonight was a Hype 7 show at the Hawk's Nest at KU. This is Zak and I, 3/4 of Nifer and the top of Joe's head during Pan left/pan right. We were performing Romeo and Juliet, badly, as based on the audience suggestion. Everyone knows that's a Shakesperian hand gesture. We had a lot of fun tonight, I got to wear Nifer as a dress during our Corporate Training Video game (it's an H7 origional!) and we were all very physical and had great scenework. It came together quite splendidly. We went out afterward and got to meet Zak's girlfriend, she was really cute and nice. We're supposed to close on the house next Friday. *Squee!*
