Managed to pick the parcel up on the way back from the dentist. I also had another parcel coming from Amazon which apparently needed a password to be delivered, but my case manager put her number down on the order, so the delivery man called her and she gave him the code and he left it.
Had to get a filling today, and he anaesthetised my face. I dislike my face being anaesthetised, but it did mean i didn't feel a thing after the initial needle jab. I'm starting to regain feeling now. Apparently I need 1 more filling and then I'll be referred off to somewhere or rather to have my wisdom teeth removed. I'm going to see if I can have it done privately, because it'll be a year or more wait to get it done through the dental hospital. Also, they'll probably put me completely under (which to be honest I'm terrified of), whereas a dental surgery place will probably just use a ton of local anaesthetic (according to the dentist).
Either way it's going to fucking suck.
I also had a thought while I was at the dentist: if we ever discover scary unfriendly aliens, we should just mildly sedate them and make them go to the dentist. The dentist is terrifying, even when it doesn't hurt.
