I realise i haven't blogged in a couple of days now, unless you count putting up that very informative picture i took on the way home from Church (its a sign saying that round the corner is the first ever ATM cash machine - Enfield thought of it first!)
So this is what has been happening in Sophie's world (thats a pun .... theres a book called Sophie's World .... you could say its punny .... no? oh well). I'm poor, things in England are ridiculously expensive and i have absolutely no money, unfortunately i still need to pay for things like dental appointments and contact lenses, and it has been raining pretty much non stop for the past 8 days, seriously. The rain has meant that i havent been able to work at the farm, because when it rains they only need one person to stand around in case a nutcase comes wanting to frolick in the mud and then when they leave clean up the muddy footprints left behind. So with lack of anything better to do i've been cleaning the kitchen (its a big job, it might be a tiny kitchen but its a really big job) it took me two full days and many rubbish bags - there was medicine in the cupboard that was out of date in 1997 .... thats when i started secondary school, and travel sickness tablets that went out of date every year since 1999. It now looks good though and even though my mums complaining about it she did give me £20 to help towards my huge opticians bill whilst she was asking where all her medicine had gone ....
Today i travelled the long and confusing road (i had no idea where i was going, id think i found the right road but it'd turn out to be a cresent and just loop back round to the road i started out on) to the dentists, normally this takes all of 5 seconds, Doctor Loke (a young, funny chinese guy who must make notes of peoples past conversations because he knows exactly what you've been doing in the last year) asks me how i am, we laugh, he asks if im on any medication, i say no, he looks in my mouth says some wierd numbers 'R2D2, c3po' that kinda thing (*shrugs* dentist talk) and says okay ill see you in a year. Well that would have been nice, but i've been in America for a year, eating such blacklisted foods like Lucky Charms and Pop Tarts, so for the first time in my life he said with a shocked expression 'you need two fillings' which REALLY sucks because you have to pay for the nice looking fillings, you have to pay a lot of money that i dont have! So anywho i got the nice ones so now im really really hoping this rain stops and i can get double sunday pay for working all day sunday and somehow go to church once i've finished. Now my mouth is numb and i cant eat any hard, sticky or foods with lots of colouring, which are my favourite types apart from cheese, so meeting up with Susy tonight has been rescheduled for next week and im ever so slightly annoyed.
Apart from that though, i've been feeling a lot happier about things! I got 14 hours sleep on wednesday night, which is pretty unusual for me, Hilary tells me it was a XA prayer thing, Wooo! And although i had strange dreams last night they werent totally bad, it was like there was conflict but it got sorted out, and i did the right thing. Maybe ill write about it on here sometime
