burning like a fire

So here's a thing, right?

I couldn't wait to have a tooth pulled because I was waiting to trip out on the lignacaine. I was so excited! It always affects people really weirdly, and then they make cool art/write weird things/etc!

I had pretty heavy dosages both times I had wisdom teeth out. I've also had it for having a hormone implant inserted/removed.

Apart from being numbed, nothing really happened. The world didn't go all wibbly wobbly, and I didn't start seeing fairies. In fact, the only thing of any note was that it wore off quicker than I was expecting.

This always happens. I am most disappoint.

(I actually know why it is. I think I metabolise it faster than I should. FEH).

As an added note, and what made me think about this in the first place is that Venlafaxine (Effexor) never gave me really bizarro dreams, either (turns out I need a bad fever for that). I just found them clearer, and more memorable. I am actually perfectly capable of bizarro dreams all by myself.

(Talking of which, I dreamt last night about making flapjacks - I've noticed since I've got into baking I will, occasionally, dream about baking something I'm craving. Last time it was blueberry muffins. Anyway, that's not the point. For some reason, it required a huge amount of sugar - 4kgs, and that was just the white caster sugar...)

In other news, my bro brought my nephew down for a visit, while my sister in law had a rest and caught up on some sleep (the baby didn't sleep well last night, so everyone is tired).

I had made some super small hats, but sadly my nephew has grown, so now they really are super small. I said I'd donate them to charity, or a hospital, or something, and I can always make some larger ones another time.

Anyway, he was mostly well-behaved. I held him for a bit, and managed to get him to settle down, which was weird (though I'm told I'm good with kids but, uh, yeah...) I amused myself by wondering if he kept looking at me and thinking, "You look like my dad, but you are not him. Why not?" because he did spend a lot of time looking at me (he probably couldn't tell who I was, though, because I forget how old a baby is when their eyes start focusing, but he's not even two weeks old yet).

Still not broody though. I think mum is disappointed that I'm not. But we've already had the conversations about me and babies and if I need to repeat my feelings to her about it, I'm not going to be too pleased.

Also I have some herbal sleeping tablets. They contain Valerian, so I sincerely hope I'm not one of those people who Valerian affects the opposite way from normal (it's rare, but in some people it wakes them up instead). But since it's nearly 1am, I don't know if I should start taking them tonight or not.
