Sans Wisdom Teeth

I know, I'm terrible at this blogging thing -- Forgive me future self!

ANYWAYS,

Last weekend I had the pleasure of getting my bottom two wisdom teeth extracted. As much as I want to sit here and say how brave I was during the entire procedure would just be all lies. I admit I was terrified for days before surgery, so much so that I lost some sleep over it and come to the actual procedure... well let's just say I had to cry for my mom -- a little. Of course I'm not going to bag on the dentist and her ways of operating but I feel like there could of been a little more heart taken into consideration when handling the head that was still attached to the rest of my body.

Long story short, it took about 5 bottles to numb me on my right side and about 15 or so on my left. Yea, that happened. Procedure lasted less than 10 min and I was out the door! (Course numbing me took about 45 min, LOL) The pain wasn't entirely excruciating until I got an infection on my right side. Till this day, now day 9, my right side still hurts and I'm still dependent on Ibuprofen during the day and Vicodin during the night. But I'm happy to say that I'm glad they're finally out and I'm healing quite alright.

I really really hope that my top wisdom teeth don't plan on ever coming out or else I'd be really sad to have to go through this again.

Worse part of the entire thing? How much blood was spewing out of my mouth after surgery AND the amount of medicine I'm on AND the side effects. Killer --- thank you mom for such an amazing immune system (that's sarcasm, btw)

OH -- and the fact that I couldn't eat anything. Worst. Part. Ever.

LOOK, LOOK HOW MANY THERE ARE!

Otherwise, I didn't mind looking like a chipmunk for awhile :)

Here's a look at my puffay cheek progression LOL, you can obviously tell when I had to go back to the dentist for an emergency check up. HAHA -- 

 Here I am present day! :) My right side still hurts, but again yay medicine. No more puffay cheeks though !

Checking In

Hello world! Checking in from Starbucks! Finally had a little time to sit down and catch up with future self. First off, I just want to mention how much my life has changed over the course of the last two months. How I would even begin the story is beyond me, but let's just say most if it was for the better. I'm much more focused with work/design and just want to venture out and lear/ do so many things. It's crazy just how much there is to learn out there and how little time I have, it's so crazy! I've enrolled in two classes, nothing too big, it's experienced designers sharing tips & tricks with projects and deadlines.  I enrolled in these classes so I can hone in on my focus in design, illustration. I can't express enough how much I want to get better at illustrating! Parallel to that I also want to get better at handlettering, it's so much fun. It's kind of therapeutic and the study of type is so interesting. At work it's busy as always but I'm loving every second of it. I don't think I can ever express how thankful I am to be where I am now and I'm hoping and praying it's only the beginning :) My family is doing well, I've been able to see them almost every weekend for the past month and it's been fun. However, I did tell myself I would take a break, I need to embrace the city a little more x]

Okies, that's all for now.. I need to jump on some things I need to finish before the end of the night. That and Starbucks is closing... and I need to pee.

Sorry this post is all over the place!!

Till next time World! :)

Oh yea!

I'm a brunette again :)
