Yay!! It's warm and sunny. Actually HOT. We got up. A good start. Ha ha. Hugs all around. Lovely breakfast. Then out hiking. There's a hill with a giant aluminum cross on it. So we hiked up there. It looked dauntingly uphill, but was actually just rolling. Here's pix. What a fun day. Despite awaking at 1am to cross the border and get to Seattle on time for our flight. All went well and I felt awake and alert until about 2 this afternoon. Then I had to kick muself in the butt to go for a walk to a thrift store. We made it, tho and it was fun. I found and bought a cashmere sweater for $8 and a silk skirt for $17. Very excited. It was hilarious that we overshot the store by 7 blocks. So had to backtrack another 7. I was so exhausted. It all turned out and we saw tonnes if set in the way. Me too. I say, "GREAT," too. It is healing very well. My swelling is all gone. I am just a bit yellow-green around my lower jaw from the dissolving bruising. I still can't smile quite right, but the dentist says that's from the stitches being tight. As they dissolve away, I will feel much more mobile in the mouth.
Now I am allowed to chew all over my mouth, not just on my right side. I just will want to be careful with crumbly things like chips or nuts. If their little bits get onto my new skin - it will hurt. I also have to finish my antibiotics [last ones tomorrow] and continue with the antibiotic rinse for 2 more weeks. I can also brush all my teeth and can rub the gums GENTLY with a special super-duper soft toothbrush he gave me. They are a bit slimy and needing a rum. [ACK! I mean rub!] ha ha. [I know it sounds like I did that typo on purpose ... but I really did type that -- and I thought it was funny so I left it.] Tonight is my last nightschool class before Xmas holidays and I finished my lecture notes and all units. This is perfect. Now my students can just do catch-up all holidays and also study EVERYTHING for their final exam. Yay!! I have work tomorrow [Friday] at dayschool, but I have told the students that if they have no classwork or homework - they can have free time. So it will be an easy day. WheW! I am tired!! I look so funny. Haha ha ha. Ha ha. Oh god, so embarrassing!! Kind of uncomfortable, too. |
