FAKE IT TILL YOU MAKE IT

TODAY:  I'm off to Hospice Shop.   And I'm going to plaster a smile on my face... and pretend to be happy.  
Maybe if I do it enough... it will happen.


I am fasting today.  NO FOOD.  Just flavoured water and a little Diet Coke.  Let's see if I feel better for it.


Treasure... hmmmm.... really do need to try to stop buying stuff at the Hospice Shop!  I don't NEED a thing.  And I am no longer buying stuff for anyone else either.  Our bills need to be paid first!  


SMILE... SMILE.....FAKE IT.... 


ONWARD...


I never, ever had 'morning sickness'... but I swear to god if I was 25 years old, and still had a friggin uterus, I'm sure this is what morning sickness must feel like!  Woke up, felt semi OK for about half and hour, and then... WHAM.  Felt like throwing up!  
I suppose.... *sigh*... if it carries on much longer I will have to go visit the freakin Dr.


I arrived at the shop this morning, 100% DETERMINED to not buy a thing.  I even left my purse in the car (yeah, not a good idea really)... but I did anyway.  
And in the door I go... and staring me IN THE FACE is a big stack of bloody batik fabrics!  
BUGGER, DAMN AND BLAST !!!!!   I mean, is that the "Fabric Gods"  conspiring against me or what???


so.....

ABOVE:  I bought the lot of course!  AND... because I had gone and opened the purse... I bought a Sonic Jewellery Cleaner for $4, come on ... who wouldn't?  And a really lovely hand knitted jacket too.
Then ... I managed to last 2 and a half hours before I threw up... so I came home a little early.  It was a good decision.  I might have seen something else I just had to get, or I might have spewed on someone!  Ikkkkkk.


Arrived home to find Steve home, ringing around Dentists trying to find someone who can remove his wisdom tooth.  But, it's not going to be cheap, so we are also trying to get on the waiting list at the Super Clinic.  
God if it's not one thing, it's another around here.  


DRAMA... just finds me.  I sure in hell don't go looking for it!  (as some would suggest)   KNEE in action ... *private joke*


TOOTH SAGA: 
- it's an infected, impacted wisdom tooth, so he needs specialist oral surgery.  The tooth is still completely under the gum and attached to bone.
- to go 'private' will cost upwards of $600, if not more.
- to go to the hospital he could wait a few months, as they will NOT take the tooth out on a day clinic basis.  He will have to been seen by a specialist first, then be booked for surgery.


So.  Tomorrow he is going to our Dr's to get the ball rolling with the hope that in a few months he will have the tooth out.  Until then, he will have to manage the pain with painkillers.  


As the tooth is infected at the moment, the pain is very bad, but once the infection clears up (in a few days) the pain should subside considerably.


So... it's in hand.  Thank You Mum. (oh, that would be ME)


Now.  Dinner.  I am feeling hungry ... not ill at all at the moment!  So I might just try some soup.  Family's dinner... *sigh*, dunno yet.


SHIT.  Today was the last day of term for Brylee and Griffin.  And I didn't even know.  Some mother I am!


End of Day: and I'm starting to feel normal again!  May never know what the problem was, but I have my suspicions.
ON TRACK:  yes. even drank WATER today!
nite nite.
