Sweet dreams

norsegirlI'm having nightmares again. Or ones that I remember at any rate. Last night I dreamed my teeth were falling out. I do dream this a lot. In this case, I think I burnt my gums a little yesterday drinking overly hot tea and I flossed for the first time in let's not say how long, so there was a bit of pain there too. In fact, they still hurt now, so I can see where the dreams are finding inspiration. Anyway, I dream that they fall out. Not all at once, but one at a time over a period of time, and I felt like there was nothing I could do to stop the eventual, inevitable loss of all my teeth. I was trying. I think I had gotten braces in an attempt to keep them in. I was asking my mother what I should do about it. And here's where things went a little off-track from the usual... in the asking for help, me at my lowest point of the narrative, as I'm holding a tooth that has just fallen out and showing it to my mother, I'm being irritated by this Asian girl who has no idea what she's stumbled into, or that I might be embarrassed by my failings. Am I still that bothered that Diana was there to witness my desk packing and was too stupid to realize she was seeing me at a low point?
In other news, I finally got off my ass and saw a doctor last week for my wrist. It's been bugging me off and on since July. At some points it has been so bad that I simply choose not to use my right hand (like the entire drive home to Ontario where it sat in my lap motionless for 3 days). I hit a bad point again last week. I was taking the dogs on a walk. They were being their usual over-excited, uncontrollable selves. They took off from our front gate at a run, and when they hit the end of the leash, the pain was so great that I dropped the leashes. We live at the intersection of two major highways, so I can't even put into words how not good this is. Luckily their loyalty must have increased in the last few months because when I yelled for them to come back NOW, they both did. Lizzy did her old run back, tag and I'm off, but I was able to grab her. Anna came back and rolled over on her back next to me. Which was really surprising as she is the one least likely to listen most of the time. There must have been something in my voice this time...
So I got x-rays and bloodwork. The bloodwork was extensive and hurt like a sunovabitch. It even hurt when she lifted the cotton ball after the "apply pressure" part, and that NEVER hurt before. My mother figured because I had been in pain for so long that I was probably hypersensitive or something. However, judging by the toonie-sized bruise on the inside of my arm, I just figure she screwed up and went through the vein, which always hurts.
On the employment front, I think I've decided I want to try something different. Accounting may be a tolerable job, but I don't think I want to live with tolerable. If I have to live in Edmonton, and while I have a little bit of time to collect EI and think about where I want to go, I'm thinking it may be time to try to catch my dream job too. I'm not sure I want to talk about it too extensively yet as I'm not really fond of making statements of intent and then facing the possibility of public failure if I can't make it work.
And finally, next weekend is coronet and I KNOW I'm getting called into court. I have been chosen to replace the old principality exchequer, and thus am required to swear fealty, and I've been told we're doing the official change-over and swearing in court next weekend. So I'm thinking of making a new outfit. Not sure I'll be able to get it done, but it will be nice to try. I also have to get the spare room all cleared out for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rectangularcat, whose visit I am very much looking forward to. Lots to do before next weekend. Which means I should probably get off the internet and get to it.
