Well... This weeks gone pretty well. Not much has changed, but I guess I'm handling things a bit better now.
New problem. My wisdom teeth are bothering me. I thought it might be a cavity at first, but the pain kept going away and coming back. Then.. I poked my gum. Ow. So. I don't know what to do. They haven't bothered me in probably 2 years so I put the whole removal on the back burner. But what if it doesn't go away this time? What if they impact or some other such thing? I've had teeth issues since I was a baby and I had to have 9 teeth removed so the teeth that I do have would fit in my mouth. So I don't think I'm too out of line for worrying about that.
Medical terminology was deffinately not part of the curriculum back in Jap 101 so I really don't know how to express myself. Which means I need an interpreter, my company is based in Nagoya more than and hour and a half away, so I don't think they'd help me. And if I DO goto a dentist he's going to tell me what I already know. "Wow. You have wisdom teeth. They aren't going to fit so you'd better get rid of them." I REALLY DO NOT want to have them removed in Japan. I'm scary paranoid about these kind of things so I'd need a lot of hand holding anyways, plus recovering on my own out here would be a nightmare. AND my company sure as hell wouldn't support me. I don't think they'd fire me though. It's, what?, about a week to recover? I think I'd be safe for about two and a half to three weeks. Probably.
Oh... And Dax tried to pull a Sanzo on me and delete that WHOLE last paragraph. But I thwarted him. Ah. Victory.
My parents have seen 2 black bears in as many days and when I told my teacher about it she insisted that I tell EVERY class about it. Fun times. Puma is a really popular brand out here so I can always point out what a cougar is. LOL Earl was nose to nose with a huge black bear (through our chain link gate) and he wouldn't back down. Duke was smart enough to run away. Ah Earl, you think you're a Rottweiler. Luckily the bear was healthy and not starving so he just shuffled along after staring at him for a while. Poor Mom, she nearly had a heart attack. And then when Dad was taking the dogs for a walk the next day he found a bear in the tree in the park. He decided that was a good time to turn around and walk back home. Lots of bears this year. And Dad was saying that FOUR cougars had to be put down in Squamish this summer, that's worrying.
AUGH! Stupid teeth! They won't hurt for hours and then it's like "remember me?" and it's ALWAYS around lunch time. I don't think it's because I'm clenching my jaw or anything. My jaw doesn't hurt, it's my gum and molars. And the other side started hurting a bit today to... Upper molars appear to be fine. Just my lowers.
Oh. And OMG the last episode of house! I just watched it! *dies*
