30 th Sept Momentous week

I left Mum at Greenslopes hospital in the care of my younger brother TIm and his partner Donna while I returned to Melbourne for the dentist and The Wedding! It was an epic week really. I felt so anxious about leaving Mum but was confident nothing was going to happen now till after the wedding. 

I had two visit s to the dentist. One to the orthodontist to remove the brace that has been pulling my tooth straight and then the dentist to have the post for the implant installed. I was rather anxious but despite the discomfort it wasn't painful and the swelling wasn't too bad. I expected it to be fine for the wedding. A bit of a risk but needed because of the time issues with returning to Brisbane.

Then I had a bright idea to have my face waxed for the wedding as I had booked a professional makeup for Saturday. DISASTER! The beautician tore the skin on my cheeks so I would now need camouflage for Saturday. Oh vanity can bring you down.

 I was so upset, but the damage was done. It hurt worse than the tooth. I went back the next day when it hadn't eased and she was very apologetic and provided me with a range of products to soothe my face. It had never happened before and I can only put it down to her distress over a fight with her mother! She was too rough. 

Next I had guests arriving so I was busy with airport collections and entertainment. It was very pleasant and busy. I would have also liked some quiet time to recover a little from the intensity of being with Mum but there was no time.  I did enjoy taking my brother Peter and cousin Jan to Movida restaurant which is in Hosier lane. The lane is famous for its street art and the restaurant for its Tapas with style! I left them to find their own way home while I went off to the hairdresser.

I know my hair doesn't look long but after five weeks it needed a bit of a touch up and he actually cut lots off! Even better he only charged me a fraction of the cost because he couldn't do it for the wedding as he had offered.  We met later at my apartment and enjoyed a quiet home cooked meal. I needed to finish my speech for the wedding and get my face cleaned for more healing treatment.
