I guess nobody likes dentists. Neither do I. But obviously sometimes we need them... People, who are a bit wiser than me, go to a dentist as soon as they feel that there's some problem. I wait longer, trying to ignore the pain, and as a result I get a longer and more complicated treatment. On Tuesday I learnt that my dentist was on a sick leave, so I had to look for another one, which caused me even more stressed. Luckily, the new dentist turned out to be very nice and she's decided to do her best to avoid root canal treatment. Great, there's a chance to spare my tooth's nerves and my own nerves too! :) But things can't be all that easy, when it comes to dentists ;) I spent 2.5 hours in the dental chair waiting for the anesthetic to start working. No, I can't say that it totally didn't work on me. After 4 injections I couldn't feel half of my face and felt a bit dizzy for the rest off the day, but somehow it didn't work on the tooth! Now the torture will continue on Monday, but let me not think of it yet...
To be honest, I've been feeling tired and down this week. Maybe it's because of the gloomy and cold weather, maybe it's because of the dentist appointmer, or maybe it's still a result of my trip to Poland, but most likely it's just a mix of all those factors, but I hope my mood will improve soon. What has added some beautiful colours to this gray week was the mail from my lovely penpals! Here it comes :)
On Tuesday I received 3 letters. This one comes from my dear Bahanur :) I absolutely love those owls on the envelope! The biggest problem with this letter was that I wasn't allowed to open it, until I finished answering Bahanur's previous missive, which I had received just one day earlier. This make me stay awake until 1 am on Tuesday evening just to finish my letter and to eventually open this envelope :) Yes, Bahanur's letters are very addictive! :)
This amazing envelope came from my dear Sandra in Germany! I'm not sure, if I've ever told her how much I loved maps, but her creativity made me really happy :) But believe me, the letter itself is even more lovely and I've already started answering it, so hopefully I'll be able to send it out after the weekend. Last time I made Sandra wait for my answer way too long, so now I'm trying to be quicker.
Here's the letter from my Ukrainian friend Antonina, which also arrived on Tuesday. We've been writing to each other for more than 4 years, but haven't had a chance to meet each other yet, because she lives in a very tiny village and has a little child... She's also been going through a very hard period in her life, but I'll do my best to support her and I hope that one day we'll finally see each other in person. Antonina is a great friend and also one of the most regular writers among my penpals :)
Today's evening has been brightened by a thick envelope from Søren in Iceland! Apart from the letter itself, he's also sent me a chapter of his novel and two beautiful Icelandic postcards. We've only been writing to each other for about half a year, but I really value his friendship and trust in me. He's one of those very few people in the world, with whom I can share even my most private and controversial thoughts. Looking at the Icelandic postcards I become even more sure that I'd like to go there one day. I just wish it wasn't so expensive ;)
Surprisingly enough, I've also managed to write and send 3 letters this week. I can be proud of myself! ;)

On Tuesday I've sent my answer to Taši's intro.
This envelope started traveling to Turkey on Wedesday. As our postage for international mail is in US dollars and our currency has been devaluating very quickly, I have to use more and more stamps. But so far they still fit onto the envelope :D
And today I've sent my letter to Antonina. Normally I don't use the pre-paid envelopes neither for domestic, nor for international mail. But I liked this one, because it shows Uzhgorod - one of my favourite Ukrainian cities.
That's all for tonight :) In 3 hours from now I'll be on a train to Kyiv. I'm going to visit my "private hairdresser", who lives some 70 kms away from our capital city:) We met under rather strange circumstances - she's a relative of my ex-it's-complicated (in case you don't know, it's almost like ex-boyfriend, just more complicated) ;) and we came to her place escaping from the war in East Ukraine. She's become my friend and I'm really happy that we keep in touch despite my split with that guy. I'm looking forward to spending the weekend with her and I hope there will be still some hair left on my head afterwards :) I'll be back on Sunday :)
