Today was a LONG day.
I got up this morning after going to bed late (last night was fun though, and worth the late night. Got to see a boy with silly hair and a nice smile. :) ) and made my way to the dentist for the first time in over a year.
The dentist was not fun. Definitely not nearly as fun as the eye doctor was. I hate the scraping sound of the dentist. You start to wonder if you have any tooth left after the hygienist is done with you. And I got some news from the dentist that I was expecting, but didn't want to hear... "You need to get your wisdom teeth out". As if I have money for that! It's gonna cost anywhere from $800 to $1200 and I just do not have that kinda coin! So we'll have to see about some kinda benefits for this girl.
After the dentist I went home and my mom and I left again to go back to Elmira and work on cleaning out my grandma's garage. But first we went to the market in St. Jacobs where I proceeded to convince her to buy me silly things that I have no need for. Like a balloon animal kit and a turtle umbrella. Yeah, I don't need these things, but man they are amusing. The lady at the shop laughed at me, asked if I was actually going to use the umbrella and I said "oh yeah!" and my mom laughed and said "Well, we know she's definitely not a shy kid". I think the lady definitely thought I was like, 17.
When we got back to Elmira we spent 3 hours going through all the stuff in my grandma's garage, which was a feat in and of itself. There was so much stuff in there, stuff that had been there since my mom was a kid. Ugh. Not fun at all.
I got home around 5, and then I had to wait for Jer to come back with my car because he'd taken it off somewhere. And he gave me some bad news... apparently something is screwy with the steering rack and pinion (more car terminology that I need to learn, I guess) and it will need to be fixed sooner or later. I can only assume it's from when I went into the ditch...twice... and all the times I got stuck this year. Argh! So annoyed.. I just want my car fixed!!!
I took my bike up to Jer's house to collect my car, and it was freakin cold out while I was doing that... no better motivation to remember how to bike with no hands than wanting to put them into your pockets, let me tell you! Once I got there I had to figure out how to get my bike home. I crammed it into my car the best way I could... it's interesting...
Now I'm heading out the door to hang out with Bailey... gonna go for coffee. I've done a lot of that this week, but I've been so bored and had so much time off at night that what else am I going to do!?
Can't wait til tomorrow... the maple syrup festivities begin!
