+ I don't even know how I'm going to manage this weekend. I have arranged to change the oil in my car and have the power steering flushed (my car needs an awful lot of work, but this is the last of the "expensive" repairs. Well, until it's time to replace the tires in another few thousand miles, anyway). Also, it is likely that I will have to work

that is awesome weightloss, go you!
i had a wisdom tooth taken out in the chair and i wasn't put to sleep during it. it was uncomfortable, but it didn't hurt.
i, unfortunately, have been put under several times (9 or 10 now, i've lost count) though and never had any adverse affects from it.
good luck with it all, you will be fine.

I inexplicably dropped another five in the past week. @_@ I have no idea how this happened, other than that I have been utter crap at eating dinner (I just come home and pick at things). I don't know how I haven't gained anything back, 4 srs.

I'm told the nitrous will make me not care, which sounds about right from what some of my friends have said. If it were brain surgery or heart surgery or something, I wouldn't be happy about being put under, but I'd recognize the need for it. But just to pull a couple of teeth?

Thanks :) ♥

Aww, well on the one hand, boo for no kitten because kittens are so cute but yay on the other hand that it's found a good home.

Good luck with all the car stuff if you have to work. What is UP with all this overtime?!

And super yay on the weight loss!!

Yeah, but if I feel the urge, one of my friends has some that he's trying to find homes for, so. I like Oliver, and he's a good cat most of the time, though.

I did get my power steering flushed (and my filters changed, w00t). I also got another laundry list of things that I need to have done to the car. (Seriously? I just had the spark plugs replaced last year, how poor a condition can they be in?)

The deal with mandatory overtime is that basically, mortgage rates are down so people are refinancing to take advantage of the new low rates, which means that a lot of the bank's business comes through us (especially on a refi), which means we get hammered and have to work after hours (or before hours). It'll probably taper off, but who knows when.

I lost more! I don't know how, because I took a running leap off the wagon and ate nothing but donut balls yesterday. @_@

I'm glad the kitty found a loving, permanent home. :-)

And lots of congrats on the weight loss!

Also, I agree not to listen to your sister on this. Do you know how many people die in car accidents? Or by being hit in the head with falling coconuts? If we thought about statistics all the time, we'd never do anything or go anywhere, so we might as well look at things in a positive way. And eat coconuts. :-)

Me too! :D

I dropped another five pounds, which I did nothing to deserve because I fell off the wagon Friday and stayed off Saturday (Donut Ballocaust). But! I have lost 10% of my heaviest body weight. A few more pounds, and I'll be down to what I was 10 years ago.

The being-hit-in-the-head-with-falling-coconuts thing reminds me of a dirty joke I heard at university that still makes me giggle. :D

ugh I think I need to get my wisdom tooth removed myself. I'm 27, everyone said I should have had them removed by now but I never felt them before and only one of them has grown in and NOW im nervous about even getting it looked at >.<

Awww kitty has a good home, that's good. i'd be sad not being able to get her back but I'd feel even worse taking an animal from a child who has an attachment to it :/

[shake_the_stars]

I wouldn't be getting mine out except they decayed because I apparently just can't get a toothbrush that far back in there. D: Apparently I should have had them out as a teenager, but I kind of grew up with the attitude that it was unnecessary surgery and I'm just really an old coot like that.

Yeah, once the words "my kitten!" were uttered, we knew the kitten was staying right where it was :)
