well that sucked.

yeah apparently i don't know the difference between 3:40 & 4:30. or maybe it's just that i cancelled one appointment for 3:40 & scheduled a new one for 4:30 & got them mixed up. the upside? we got to walk around downtown pyongtaek for 45 minutes while waiting for the right appointment. and we found a converse store, a miscellaneous shoe store & a stationary store. and then i had to hand out promises to go to all the aforementioned stores once we're ready to go back to school. so i'll have to jam that in between recovering from jet lag, moving & starting school in the fall. argh. sometimes i speak too soon.
and then we finally made it to the appointment for the proper time & i had to sit in the waiting room & listen to middlest cry as they pulled 2 teeth with minimum anesthetic. and that hurt my feelings since i told her to let them do it because they were just baby teeth & it wouldn't be that bad! and since they had just pulled 2 teeth, she couldn't try on her newly adjusted retainer before we left. and we drove all the way back to the base. and then she tried to put it in. and it wouldn't go. so i had to drive. back. to. pyongtaek. in traffic. and our favorite mr. valet guy was gone for the day-locked up shop-leaving me to park my truck in the eensy beensy parking garage with the ginormous pillars. but miraculously i didn't hit one & we ran upstairs so they could tell us that the retainer was broken & we needed a new one. so apparently we get to spend next week at the orthodontist again getting 2 new retainers again. i don't think i like the orthodontist anymore.
