Not my usual day off but I had a tooth pulled yesterday and took today off in case I was feeling under the weather.
God I hate the dentist. I actually, for the first time in my life took a ‘relaxer’ before I went. Jode drove me in. I think It helped. I have to go back for a check next week. I am getting a plate made as I have no bottom teeth at the back now. You would never know. Thank goodness my front teeth, the ones you can see when I smile are nice and straight. But I do need to be able to eat I guess so the plate it is and a lot of $$$$ to go with it. (in saying that it may be a good weight loss aid….lol)
Still not smoking, 1 month and 6 days. I still want one, but the patch is doing enough for me thank goodness.
I have almost finished my Christmas shopping. Afterpay has been my best friend and I have done a lot of it online. I have a lay by to pick up next week and then I can see exactly what I have/need. Hopefully not too much more, its so expensive, although im getting off light with the boys as they went to WWE this year which was the main part of their Christmas present. 2 Christmas parties this weekend, both my family and Dames, so they will be out the way nice and early.
Only 3 more weeks left of work then a 2 week break for Christmas. Dames and I are going camping for a week, the boys are staying at home, they don’t want to come so it will be very very quiet at the river this year.
I bought myself a diary (I think I mentioned that) and I cant believe how much I have on next year in terms of trips away. the first 6 months are pretty busy! Never would I have been able to afford such things when I was gambling. And now with not smoking…….although, I cant say that we are saving any money. We just aren’t spending it. At least $400 a week went on cigarettes (disgusting I know).
I am starting a payment plan for next Christmas, its time to organise my life. Ive been doing that with my cupboards at home, organising. Its such a nice feeling when its done and everything has a place.
Anyway, just an update from me, I have to go and do a few jobs while I have this day off.
Take care my friends, Love k xxx
