So, I went to the dentist today. I hadn't gone in...oh, probably four years or so. I believe I went once right after me and Ian were married (we were living in the tiny Princess Street apartment for sure) so it was long due.
No surprises, I need a second cleaning later this month. I also have my very first cavity! Since I'm nearing 28, I figure that's pretty good. Guess all that fluoride in the water and that shitty pink liquid the school made you swish paid off, eh?
The bad news is, the clicking and pain in my bottom jaw is a result of it more or less shifting inwards; anyone who's seen my sunny smile could figure that one out, as my front two bottom teeth almost completely overlap. While the dentist noted everyone's jaw does this to some extent, he believes my wisdom teeth have possibly crowded out the rest of my teeth, which has led to my current issues. I have a referral to an orthodontist who will tell me if I either need a split plate (HI MOM) or if I need braces. He also warned me there was a strong possibility they'd have to remove my wisdom teeth -- bleh.
As I wave goodbye to my entire pay for March, I can't feel like the money isn't well-spent though. Once the bottom jaw is straightened out, I may have to invest in a guard to wear while I'm sleeping so my muscles don't tense up and wreck all the work. But that's relatively inexpensive all things considered.
While I was at the mall I also picked up another two-in-one Nora Roberts book. This time it's Captivated and Entranced, which is the first two Donovan cousin books. I have the third and fourth, so I sort of read the series backwards, but c'est la vie.
Now I need to get caught up on some work. GameGuard + hyperactive anti virus = a whole shitload of tech support posts. Thanks hackers.
