Sometimes, an innocent trip to the dentist can leave you as High as a Kite!
A few years ago, I had four wisdom teeth removed at the dentist. My dental surgeon advised me to go for a general anesthetic which I was happy to do because my preference was to have the procedure carried out while I was stone cold knocked-out. He told me that I should organise being collected because I'd feel VERY woozy and it was quite likely that I'd never be able to find my way home. I didn't fancy walking the streets of London with my gums bleeding, stepping off the pavement towards oncoming traffic so my sister Sheba came to collect me. Let's just say I have no recollection of waking up. All I know is that Sheba said that she's never laughed so much in her life. Mainly because I was laughing when I saw her as if I'd taken laughing gas and I was all over the place, talking a whole load of rubbish like I'd lost the plot. She said anyone would have thought the dentist made me smoke Colombian bam-bam!!
Unfortunately, I have a blurred recollection of laughing uncontrollably - it was quite shameful actually because this happened in a waiting room full of people. I also remember telling Sheba I needed to apply my lip-gloss (of all things) and smearing it all over my mouth, nose and cheeks. I think by this time, my my hand/lip co-ordination was a few hours away; which Sheba laughs at to this day.
I believe I was rather reminiscent of the boy in the following video.

Hi August
I've really enojoyed your diary entries. I've been off work (playing sick) and managed to read nearly all of your diary entries. You are so visual with your writing - you give me ideas. I normally just read the shoe blog and your blog-blog but the diary's a whole different world. Well it's your world and it's fab. Really great. I read an entry about love and it made me laugh and cry. I had to go and stroke my cat. My little Gerry, not my you know, cat, cat if you know what I mean.
I so so so loved your Trip to the Dentist. The video had me in stitches.
I'm tuning in tomorrow because I've read nearly everything dating back to the 90s!
Susan
PS. Did you ever think that you're the Carrie Bradshaw of London!! The shoe blog is so Manhatten girl.
