Today for dinner I ordered chicken kebab with rice and salad — total cost: 159 baht. I also started watching a New Year movie called Violent Night. I think this is a good time for this movie because it’s 34 degrees outside and New Year’s Eve is coming soon.
Today is a pretty amazing day because the weather is very good. The sun shines in the sky, a comfortable wind blows on your face, and the temperature is not too high. I like this day.
Today's day was a bit rainy, but that didn't stop me from replacing my car's left headlight bulb. The reason was that during my trip yesterday, when I was driving at night, I noticed that my headlight seemed a bit strange and wasn't bright enough. So today, after lunch, when I had finished some routine things, I removed the old bulb because it wasn't working and drove to the auto parts shop. There, I easily found the same OSRAM H4 bulb for about 300 ₽.
Today I also spent the evening at my relatives' place, from 5 PM until I finally arrived home at night. In fact, this visit had already been arranged during my previous trip, which I wrote about in this post. There was another relative there too, and she invited us to spend some time together and have fun. So, this turned into another interesting and enjoyable trip to my relatives' house, which I was visiting for the first time. I already knew about them, but I had never visited their place before. Until then, only my family members had been there.
During the last few days after my dental surgery, I didn't have enough opportunity to finish the third part of the Harry Potter book on time. Even though I had only the last two chapters left until the end, I was forced to take a few days' rest from reading. As I read out loud, I felt some uncomfortable and sensitive sensations in the operated areas of my mouth. So my reading process finished a bit later than I expected.
Today I spent the whole day at home during my routine instead of trying my outdoor activities. As it is, I had a bad experience during yesterday's walk. Because of that, after the walk, the surgery area in my mouth started bleeding. Luckily, it wasn't strong, but it continued for long enough, and I had the taste of blood in my mouth all evening. I even noticed in the morning that my blanket was stained with blood. I really have no idea how it happened; probably my mouth was full, and some bloody saliva just came out.
During those two hours, I sat in the dentist's chair with my mouth open and listened to them talking to each other as they discussed the implant installation process. It wasn't easy for me because my mouth gradually became tired, especially my lower jaw. Thankfully, I had plenty of opportunities to close my mouth and rest a little from time to time. Even so, I still felt a bit uncomfortable. However, everything was tolerable and completely painless.
Today, after my trip to Kazan, I went for a ride on my bike along my usual route. But this ride wasn't very successful, as I got caught in the rain twice while riding through the meadow and forest. Luckily, I didn't get completely soaked, but my sneakers and legs got wet, especially in places where the grass was very tall. Still, I couldn't skip my ride today because I had already missed it yesterday. So I decided to give it a try, even though the sky was cloudy and the weather forecast said there could be rain within the next two hours. Of course, they were right, but I still didn't give up and reached my goal of keeping my consistency.
Yesterday I took several blood tests: a complete blood count, a coagulogram, glucose, and infection tests for HIV, hepatitis B and C, and syphilis. They emailed me all the results except for the infection tests, since they're considered sensitive information. So I'll need to visit the clinic one more time to pick those results up in person before the surgery and bring them to the dentist's office. After that, they should decide whether I can go ahead with the dental implant surgery.
This is so crazy: I drove to refuel my car's tank in the middle of the night without any rest or sleep. But I had my reasons, as all the gas stations were crowded and had huge traffic jams during the day whenever fuel was available. So instead of waiting under the hot sun during the day and wasting my time, I had one plan: try to refuel at night. Luckily, it was successful.
