Teeth… how I hate thee

Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009

I’ve been suffering yet again from a tooth related infliction… Although I have no cavities anymore I’ve somehow managed to get an abscess and there’s been a huge painful bump full of puss on my gums for the past 2 weeks. I went to the doctor’s yesterday and got an antibiotic and a full thorough scolding from my doctor about my diabetes… or my lack of care of my diabetes. In fact the doctor ambushed me with blood testing supplies even though this appointment was a walk-in for the infection. Now I have to go back Monday and I’ll be put on insulin shots then. Joy. I was taken off insulin because it was making my blood sugar drop too low daily and they couldn’t predict a steady amount to give me. The doctor didn’t even give me a probiotic… T_T Its a good thing I randomly bought yogurt a couple of days ago.

I hate teeth… I wish I had the tolerance and money to just get all fake teeth put in. My dad did and they look good and he has no problems… cheap arsehole… I don’t understand why he didn’t take Dennis and me to the dentist for care regularly when we were underage but he himself get a whole new set of teeth, without insurance mind you and I can only imagine how much that cost.

Maybe I shouldn’t eat anything that requires chewing and I’ll stick to sucking down yogurts, puddings, and mushy oatmeals.

I’ve been trying to make doll clothes and patterns but its so frustrating because 1.) lack of sewing skill 2.) making a pattern, sewing an outfit, realizing that it doesn’t fit, make a modified pattern, repeat x4 gets very annoying 3.) losing what little motivation I had.

Ergh… Valentine’s Day is coming up… I have 9 years worth of miserable memories (sorry honie) of this useless holiday. Then comes my 26th birthday… Why do I still feel like I’m 16?

Sewing Machine

Sunday, July 13th, 2008

My old sewing machine finally died a couple of months ago. I hated that thing so much. If I attempted to make like 5 shirts, then the machine would destroy 4 of them. So when the thing died, James bought me a new one.

This machine is SO nice… the sound it makes is so different then the sound the old machine made, much more quiet and elegant… if that makes sense. It has an overlock option and everything…

I’m still not used to the new one -___-… I haven’t sewn a lot since I’ve gotten it but its so different than the old peice of junk I had before…

Leekeworld Wigs

Wednesday, April 16th, 2008

I’ve been searching far and wide… on the internet the is… to look for some decent quality, decent priced wigs for my dolls and I think I’ll just have to get some wigs from Leekeworld. I think they are a tad expensive due to the shipping but they have a lot of choices and they are cheaper than Volks wigs. I’ve thought of buying the Leekeworld wigs second hand but the prices that the sellers ask for are the small as the retail price… T_T

I’ve also JUST found out that I need a zipper foot to sew on zippers… I could rant and rant about how for some odd reason I CANNOT sew zippers on evenly or close to the hem edge and I came across a sewing tutorial that mentioned zipper foots…

Its my last day at Dennis’ house and I’m going back home sometime today. My dad went to Korea on Monday and now the Exeter house is mine until May 7th!!! It feels very good to get out of James’ room and be able to roam around and take pictures outside with the flowers. James’ mum can’t even plant flowers at their house because the pups like to dig… I think Doc likes the smell of fresh earth.
As my left wrist is slowly healing, my right wrist is starting to symptoms of carpel tunnel. The numbing and the pain. My eyes are messed up. I can’t see things up close… what does that mean? Its been bothering me for a couple of years but now its getting serious. Maybe I should get a magnifying glass thing?

Irish Soda Bread…

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

I want it so badly… soda bread (without raisins please!). I think I’ll have to go make some now…

I’ve been trying to sew so the dolls I have have some coordinating clothes but I think (again… T_T) I injured the wrist more.  I need to put the brace back on but that thing is really uncomfortable and bulky. My aunt told me to practice more. Practice makes lumps of cloth that look like decent clothes.

I’m going to a doll meet up in CT. It’ll be my second time and I really loved the people I met there so I’m really looking forward to it~ Maybe I’ll make soda bread -___-

I can’t seem to get my mind off soda bread and now chicken katsu has entered the equation…  soda bread + katsu = :)

But it seems that I need to get off my arse and work on my website….maybe after soda bread…

OH! After reading so many “fab” reviews about this microfiber hair towel I decided to go out and spend an arm, damaged wrist, and a leg to get one. I am a hair freak so the whole time I’m literally drooling before I can use it and when I do use it…  HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT. It doesn’t do any of what its advertised to do. I spent an abnormal amount of money on it so I can’t chuck the thing out screaming so I left it hanging on the towel hanging thing… I look at it every day when I wake up and look at my old towel I used for my hair that I got for free at my house.  T_T
