Woot! Summer’s here. I celebrated passing my finals by having a 22 gauge needle stuck in one wrist and all of my wisdom teeth forcibly extracted from my pinched little face. The surgeon was kinda cute, so I’m betting there’s a BDSM joke to be made here… I even have a few bruises from that encounter! XD

Aaaaanyway, the evil teeth are out and my recovery time has been quick thankfully. I’m on day 3 and I’m already back on normal foods. They just take me about three times as long to eat! I also have quite a bit of tylenol with codeine I haven’t been using, which could come in handy for future- I mean, uh… kids, you should NEVER take perscription drugs that you don’t need!!

(I’ve been taking it this week to help me sleep, since I’m ALSO in the middle of quitting smoking.. the withdrawals are crazy and the narcotics put me right out. ;P )

So, now that the requisite not-fun part is done with, I can devote the rest of the summer to studying/doing my HESI remediation, sleeping, exercising, working, whining about nicotine withdrawals and knitting. I’m almost done with a scarf I’m making out of spare baby yarn (pink!) and a half done hat is on the other set of needles. Up next… mittens. As if I don’t have enough of those already and don’t get enough use out of them as it is (it hardly gets cold enough in the winter)… but oh well. They’re fun and I love knitted stuff. :)

The only part that kind of stinks about summer is combating boredom. I love having time to catch up on crafty things and errands and other To-Dos… but summer can get kind of dull sometimes when the parentals are off in Prescott, the beau’s not around and it’s just me, the knitting kneedles, and the crickets. In general though, my main reaction toward finally arriving at summer vacaction after the “Block 2 of hell/really short winter vacation/Block 3 that wasn’t much better” trio of ultimate evil: aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Relaxation at last!

That said, I have some more nonproductivity to get to.
