My expander is gone! Muah! It's so nice to be able to feel the roof of my mouth again. That damn thing was in there eight months longer than it was scheduled to be and had worn out it's welcome before then.
That said, my teeth seem to be doing all right too. They're scarred, as I thought they'd be, but not bad enough that I'd have to have the braces removed all together. Also, they hurt like hell right now. Besides putting in a stronger wire, they added a few more brackets to the teeth that were covered by my expander. So it's a wee bit tight in there. (rubs mouth)
After we were done with the orthodontist, I went to visit the old house. My sister looks well enough, and my brother was very well behaved when I saw him. I was glad to see mom too. I miss them all so much. Got to visit for an hour before we had to head back in the opposite direction- first to pick up my other brother and sister so they could stay the night with my grandma. Not too long after we had them, grandma
had to go to the mall. Just real quick, you know.
Yeah right. I already knew it was going to take way longer than that. XD I hate the mall. Minutes turn into hours, and I never have any fun there.
Ahem. Though I did buy an OT t-shirt when I went into Hot Topic while grandma was taking the kids to the bathroom. >.> It was kinda cool looking, despite the OT-ness, and I liked it. Heheh... ^_^
But anyways, if we hadn't taken so long there, I might've had time to nap when I got home. But we didn't get back until nine, so I've been making myself stay awake so I can keep to my new schedule. (yawns) I is tired though. Been stimulating my mind by making a Naruto AMV, and then later by taking a shower.
Shower which, by the way, turned out to be of
doom.
I'd just gotten in and had the water going. And then I suddenly nearly stepped on a spider. Now, normally I could care less about the things, but I'd never seen one like it. It was dark red, and fairly large, with long legs. It got washed down the drain when I moved, thankfully, and I thought nothing more of it.
Then I stepped out of the shower. After drying myself off, I reached for my pajama pants. ...And a very similar spider to the one before crawled out of it.
Okay. So creepiness levels went up there. I actually shrieked. Once the spider was on the floor (and I'd confirmed it wasn't anywhere near my PJ's), I chased it around trying to get it on a sheet of toilet paper with the intention of flushing it. Like spiders do, however, it tried to elude me. So I picked up a rag with the idea of tricking it into the direction of my other hand.
Only when I picked up the rag? I found two
more spiders beneath it.
That was
seriously freaky O.O;. Like I said- I'd never seen ones like that until now, so I have no idea whether they're dangerous or not. I chased them around with the hairspray and flushed them. And now I'm totally terrified of my bathroom. Because seriously? I do keep that one clean. Now I'm thinking that maybe I should clean my bedroom sooner after all. I mean, I
do live in a basement. There's apt to be all kinds of bugs coming in here, and a cleaner place will give them fewer places to hide.
...Man. I'm almost afraid to go to sleep. (shifty eyes)
But I must. I'm exhausted, and need sleep to make sure I can work tomorrow. Stupid work...
