15 Days and a Wake Up And We Hit the Road*

Day 1 with an "appliance" wasn't too bad. I was afraid that my jaw would start to cramp up or I'd end up with a headache but so far so good. I have to remember to take it out whenever I run to answer the phone because I sound like I'm totally drunk on my rear end when I try to talk with this thing in my mouth...not that I get drunk on my rear end but I can imagine. It is keeping me from grinding my teeth. Aside from that, it's a pain in the butt. It might actually help the diet thing though.... I can't eat or drink anything with the "appliance" in my mouth. And whenever I do eat anything, I have to brush my teeth before putting it back in. Casual munching is out. Wouldn't it be cool if there was side effect of having this thing?

The Riverside Casino called to offer HTP and I a free airfare and stay at there casino for the beginning of November. We declined. HTP isn't fond of the Riverside, not to mention the fact that we won't be here to take advantage of a free round-trip flight to Laughlin, NV. I imagine we'll be happily getting settled back into our little home in Arizona by then.

Note to self: Don't think of all the cleaning and weeding. Concentrate on the today. Tomorrow will just have to take care of itself tomorrow.
