Biting

[clevermanka]

This is going in my Channing Tatum collection eventually, but I can't not share this right now.

Last night I picked up my new $330 bite guard. My old retainer (really old, over fifteen years old) finally broke last month so I decided to opt for a bite guard since it'll do the same thing and minimize the damage from night grinding. Win/Win! I slept in it last night and I love it! It's so...comforting. It feels much safer(?) than the retainer. Like it's cradling my teeth. I'm very happy with it.

Locals, d'you know Liberty Hall is hosting a screening of Galaxy Quest Sunday night? We're going.

Saturday I'm giving a massage (and some emotional support) to a friend in desperate need. Her life's been rough the past few weeks. Sunday is the usual 8 hour laundry/errands/food prep job. But tonight I'm looking forward to a few hours of sloth, and hedonism with mckitterick. And since I have an appointment at 4:00 today (meeting with Dr. Khosh to discuss post-surgery treatment/support methods), I have only six more hours in the office today.

Galaxy Quest is more beautiful every time I see it.

Oh my god I laughed myself silly at Kid Theatre. I also sent it to a friend who is stuck in job training all day, so either I really helped get her through it or I just got her kicked out of a session for cackling at inappropriate times. :D

Galaxy Quest was one of the inspirations for mah first novel. So clearly I need to see it like a gazillion more times before I sit down to finish it.

Hooray for happy mouth and planned sloth/hedonism! And bless you for helping out your friend. I hope she'll be okay.

I hope your appointment went well and you got some solid answers.

I had a bite guard for a while--I have mild jaw issues, and I was clenching in my sleep.

I could never make it a whole night wearing the damn thing. I kept having dreams of stuff stuck in my teeth and then waking up to find I'd pulled it out. And it made me drool SO MUCH.

I don't clench in my sleep anymore thankfully, because after my bike crash in 2010 it wouldn't fit anymore, my teeth alignment changed!

SLOTH! HEDONISM! I suggest a portmanteau, "SLOTHEDONISM" -- now if we can just work in "WINE" to be part of the obligatory win-condition...
