Day 34 in China during the Coronavirus

So what was the go today? Well, the main thing, I risked my life stepping outside of my apartment walls to make a trip to the dental hospital… FINALLY! I’ve needed to be seen for over a month but because of this virus, did you know there was a virus? All dentists were shut and I had to suffer with my mangled tooth. Okay, so before anyone worries, I went to the emergency dental department (it’s the ONLY one open…it opened today) and they said NOTHING, big fat nothing. How unhelpful! So, yes, worry! I said look, I need something to be done, my tooth is so painful, the left side of my face has inflated and is now twice the size of my right side as a result I’ve developed a square face. See below for my real time appearance:

In the end they gave me some antibiotics and hopefully my face will go back to normal!! By the way, just in case anyone is thinking “just brush your teeth”, I actually have a very healthy, nice set of toothsicles BUT ever since I moved to China, the spicy food has been bullying this particular tooth. No, for real, that was the causation of the mangalisation of my tooth. Apparently the spicy food set off my nerves in my mouth… like they were non-existent before. It didn’t make sense since I used to live at Nando’s and was guilty for constantly having medium spicy half chicken, saucy spinach with grains & greens. Okay, don’t judge me, I know people go for the chips or rice for sides but don’t knock it until you try it because it is bangalang!! I want a Nando’s!!

Ooo another big deal today was that I’ve moved to level 53 in the domesticated adult life… I made my own lasagna pasta sheets!! We’ve really wanted a lasagna but you really have to go out of your way to get your hands on a lasagna, let alone basic lasagna sheets. So, I made them. They were rolled out thinly, cut so neatly, placed perfectly… I then went on to make the rest of the lasagna! Wow Wow Wow, I love meat in lasagna but mine was so so so meaty, I love meat!! Basically, I out did myself, for my first ever try at making a lasagna I don’t think I did too shabby! Did I stop there!?!? NO, I don’t do things by halves (apart from the running and handstand challenge) I had to finish the 2 course meal (3 course is too posh for me) I also made pudden’. I made a cookie dough skillet… currently still cooking while I’m writing this as I made it so thick it’s taking my lifetime to look like the oven is even working (it is, just impatient). Anyway, so I have treated Zac to one of my meals and I think he liked it, he said he was impressed but I don’t know if that’s because his expectations of me were so low OR I actually cheffed it up! Here is proof of my homemade pasta sheets… Level 54 is baking my own bread… soon come.

Finally, I didn’t want to make this known but it’s got to the point where I have to report a crime. ZAC KEEPS EATING ALL OF MY FOOD!! I’m so hangry about it! I make a batch of shortbreads, the next morning they’re gone because he eats them all! I make some cookies, guess what, the next couple of hours, they’re gone. I bring home chocolate to put in the cookies… HE EATS THE CHOCOLATE! While I’m writing this, he has just come out of the kitchen with more cookie! There’s no stopping him! Oh yeah the cookie isn’t cooked but I gave up waiting so it’s ready to me! Anyway, no yummy food is safe in this house so I’m going to have to find a place where he’ll never go, or result to buying a triple locked safe because those are the lengths I need to go to be able to enjoy a tasty treat in this household… he is literally like Gollum but instead of the ring, it’s chocolate he’s after… here’s an accurate representation of when he gets chocolate;

I think Zac will appreciate me comparing his chocolate habits with Gollum’s ring habits as he loves The Lord of the Rings! So there you go, today I’m Spongebob Squarepants and Zac is Gollum, what an attractive couple we are! ALSO, we have been told that we may not go back to work until May 🙃 yay. Although the gym is opening next week sooo I guess I’ll just have to spend all of my time at the gym… how terrible 😃
