http://ontopof-theworld.com Wed, 27 Feb 2008 10:43:14 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en It's been a while since I posted about my braces, probably because not much happens most of the time. I've had two adjustments since I had them put on (the most recent one was yesterday), and the ortho put a new wire in each time. I haven't really had any ... http://ontopof-theworld.com/2008/02/1166/ I quit my job a couple of weeks ago! I'm starting my new job next Monday, so I've got 4 days left at my current place. I'm really looking forward to leaving (not that I'm trying to sound too joyous - there are some people I will miss); I've been ... http://ontopof-theworld.com/2008/02/1165/ For someone who hates shopping as much as I do, I did a pretty good job of hiding it today. My sister-in-law couldn't make it after all, which meant I had the whole day to wander around by myself. And so I did. I didn't intend to spend that long ... http://ontopof-theworld.com/2008/01/1164/ We had a very quiet New Year this year, and after the disaster that was Christmas Eve, that was exactly the way I wanted it. We had dinner with 2 of my sisters-in-law, and then we came home and just hung around until about 5 to 12, when we went ... http://ontopof-theworld.com/2008/01/1163/ I've had my upper braces for 5 days. I have some brackets on the lower arch but not all of them because there isn't room yet; hence there's no lower wire either. I'll be getting the rest in a few months I think (or whenever there's room!). In the end ... http://ontopof-theworld.com/2007/12/1162/ I've finally finished TAFE! Thank God for that. Four years of studying 2 nights a week - it'll be so great to have my weeknights back! Tonight we had an assessment (on the last night, can you believe it!), followed by a supper sort of thing. It was ok, but ... http://ontopof-theworld.com/2007/12/1161/ I'm considering changing the name of my blog. I go for ages without posting, and when I do it's to have a bitch about how much my teeth hurt. Boo hoo, poor me. Sheesh, get a grip, woman! Having said that, my teeth hurt! I got a sandwich for lunch today, ... http://ontopof-theworld.com/2007/12/1160/ Well, the pain never came. Not from the extraction, anyway. I took the painkillers and antibiotics as instructed, but oddly enough, even after the anaesthetic completely wore off and I was in between drugs, I didn't have any pain. I stopped taking the painkillers after the first day to see ... http://ontopof-theworld.com/2007/12/1159/ Well, I'm back from my overseas trip, which was brilliant. I may post more about it later, but the purpose of this post is to indulge in some self-pity. My orthodontic treatment has officially started, with a tooth extraction today. I'd never had any injections at the dentist before, so I've ... http://ontopof-theworld.com/2007/11/1158/ The appointments have been made, and the day I'm getting my braces has been set for December 13th. They could have done it before we went away, but if they had, I would only have had the braces for a month or so before we left, and that just feels ... http://ontopof-theworld.com/2007/08/1157/
