Inefficiency isn't so bad...

...When it comes to getting my retainers :))
Hahaha when I got my retainers last April, my ortho warned me to NEVER EVER put them in a tissue roll/napkin when eating at a restaurant because I'd most likely lose them. She gave me this green shiny retainer case for me to put them in so that I won't lose or forget them.

"Your retainer case should be like your cellphone. BRING IT EVERYWHERE YOU GO."

I swear, she could never say it enough. She told me that she had patients who really had to dig through the trash to get back their retainers, because having them replaced would be crazy. They cost a whole lot of money. Everytime she'd mention that, I'd always shrug in my mind saying that I couldn't forget them ever.

HA HA HA. I was wrong.

I went Christmas shopping for myself. Four hours of going up and down, left and right was no joke. Four hours aren't enough you see, I need A LOT of time to decide so it was extra hard knowing that I only had so little time. When I had to meet up with the rest of my family I was pretty tired. We met up at Coffee Experience and mom let me eat Caramel Popcorn. I forgot my retainer case so I wrapped them in a piece of paper napkin so I could eat the popcorn. After eating them, we left the mall for home. I was the last to stand and even looked back to check if we forgot anything. Nothing. Okay great. It was a pretty long walk and as we were nearing the parking lot,

"OH SHOOT ! MY RETAINEEEEERS !"

I ran across the street (with a lot of cars I might add), up the escalator, around the mall and to Coffee Experience all the while trying to push away the image of me having to dig in the trash. I DID NOT WANT TO DO THAT OKAY. HAHA ! My heart was beating so hard as I got to the cafe, to our table. It still wasn't fixed up. BIG THANK GOD. I saw the paper napkin under the table, picked it up and went to the car.

Ha, who would've thought I'd be thankful that the people working there were lazy? :)) HAHA

awesome.
