Happy Loopy Land!

Please play this song (but don't watch the video, it's really sad). Now, close your eyes and imagine you are on top of the clouds - literally on top of the clouds, none of that metaphorical cloud nine business. Feel the sunshine on your face and hands. Imagine rainbows and prancing unicorns. I'll give you a moment to relish in the feeling.

Wasn't it wonderful? That place you just visited is what my mind referred to as "Happy Loopy Land!" on Thursday afternoon. As I was getting my wisdom teeth pulled. They didn't put me out, but they numbed me up real good and gave me laughing gas. I could hear myself snoring, and I didn't even care, because I was in Happy Loopy Land with the rainbows and prancing unicorns. It was bliss. And then they were done, the laughing gas was taken away, the numbness wore off, and now it kind of sucks. Take a gander at my For Kicks page for before and after pictures that I find hilarious. PS: I thought they were only going to take out two teeth, because I did a clinical trial (and I was led to believe they would only be taking out two teeth...), but they took out all four. 

Want to know something funny? So I did this clinical trial, right? It's called Life Tree Clinical Research. Instead of paying to get my wisdom teeth removed, I got paid (which makes all this pain worth it). Anyway, as part of the trial, I had to stay overnight in their "lab". I had a button to press if I woke up and needed anything. So, I had just gotten my wisdom teeth removed, and I'm pretty sure the study drug they gave me was only sleep medicine (so I was in a lot of pain). This is the funny part: I woke up more times in the night because I had to pee, than because I was in pain. I would push the little button, and the doctors would come running to my little room to see if I was okay, and I would sit up and say, "I just have to pee again, no big". 

Oh, Gracie's Theme is the song I was listening to while in Happy Loopy Land. Also, I am currently on lortab. If this makes no sense, my apologies. 

Alright kids, I'm off to bed. Maybe this lortab can take me back to Happy Loopy Land.
