Whatever It Takes
I saw the dentist today (he's actually a maxillofacial surgeon) thinking I'd get some consultation on my braces idea but came out with an apt for surgery to take out 3 wisdom teeth for the 19th. Lovely. I'm a little freaking out. I will after I start hearing more horror stories. But I think I avoided this problem long enough. I knew I'd have to face it someday. I think almost everyone I know has had them out.
It's a few weeks from now but they gave me a list of things to do. I have to get a check-up from my doctor and send over the release-type papers to ensure that I'm okay to have surgery.
It sounds so hardcore when they say "surgery" but it doesn't seem that big of a deal at all. I think it's b/c of the use of anesthesia. But in fact, dentists perform the procedure right in their office. He asked me what I'd like and I immediately told him the hospital b/c I know there I'll get a lot of sedatives to knock the hell out of me. Unfortunately, I'm going to put a hold on the French class b/c the financing of this dental thing is going to bruise my bank account. If anything is hardcore, it's the cost. He slapped me with $860.
They say the anticipation is the hardest part in all of this. I sure hope so.
I had an unexpected interview today at noon. The principal called at 11am and asked if I would like to come in for an interview and I said I's be there in an hour. I was there and it went well. He was conscious of not making it seem like I got the job b/c he doesn't have the hard numbers of student enrollment yet so I'll know if I got the job by the second week of September.
Then on my way home, I stopped by Food Basics to buy some drinks. I got too many cases and I found I couldn't carry them all to my car. I did't have a cart or plastic bags or anything. I had a basket but I had to leave it behind of course. So this is what I did. I got one of the boys there to get a cart for me but he came empty handed b/c he didn't have a quarter to put into the cart--that was my mistake. Then he offered if he could help me to my car which was pretty close to the exit door. That was really nice of him. Then we started making small chit-chat; he asked me where I was from, how old I was, if I had siblings. I thought the whole thing was adorably old fashioned--helping a lady with her groceries to her car. I love it!
I'm loving that song "Hey There Delilah" by Plain White T's. Never heard of them but it's a great song, until I get absolutely sick of it. "It's what you do to me"--that's my favourite line, and "A thousand miles seems pretty far
but they've got planes and trains and cars, I'd walk to you if I had no other way" b/c it reminds me of something I watched on TV. It was on that show (don't laugh) "8 Simple Rules". CJ, the goofball of the show, was telling the red-head about the ways of guys using himself as an example...wait, this deserves a new paragraph.
He was illustrating the length that guys would go to be with the one they're really into. He once got the number of a girl but accidentally threw it out and he went into the dumpster to fish it out. Yes, yes, very romantic in the hollywood sense but the point was when a guy is really into a girl, he will find ways to be with her at every opportunity. She's first on his mind and if he has to cancel appointments or drive really far or scour for her number on all fours, he'll do it. He'll do whatever it takes.
