Wednesday update

Okay, i'll try and post some cruise and post-cruise pictures up here soon, it's just been a hectic week and my computer is so full at the moment, I can't even resize pictures on my laptop, it's a real problem and I haven't had time to move things off of here.

So a quick update-

- Dental - I had a conversation with my friend Alison about root-canals - she's the one who likes this Manoa dentist, but she said not to let him do it, but to go downtown to a place that specialises in it - so I have an appt there on monday and feel a lot happier about that. They'll re-assess so i'll get my second opinion and they will do it there and then if I need it, and it's the same deal with insurance, so no extra costs in doing that. All I need to do is not to turn into jello as soon as I get in there.......

- Mental - Hawaii home yet? Well i if I could find a good MO with the mosquitos so I don't get eaten alive every night that would help, but though the general traffic, noisiness and "hawaii time" still drive me a little crazy, it doesn't seem as bad as before, so maybe i'm getting used to it. My friends also threw me a bday party on the beach last night too which was really sweet, a small gathering (i don't know so many people here) and i missed the Woods Hole crowd who always threw a good bday party, but it was super nice, and I went swimming which was great. So not quite home yet, but a damn site closer than any other time i've come back here.....

- Itchy suckers - the mosquitos are still biting, though i'm definitely going to try the gold-bond (does anyone know a home-made anti-mosquito or itch cream that works?? I really hate all the chems on a daily basis...) I also ended up buying a mosquito net for my bed. This moment of realisation occurred while laying in bed, emailing with a G&T on the side watching all these little mosquitos and flies flying and sticking to the side of my G&T glass......ewwwww
