Heh I know what you're thinking, well I think I do. "Oh god, what has Brandon pierced now? And is it as odd looking as his nipples are?" Well allow me to put your mind at ease. I went to the dentist, not the piercer, turns out one of my old caps had cracked and was leading towards a cavity. So now I have a new filling, I am also just getting the feeling back in my face. The damage to my tooth was the result of me clenching my jaw far too hard for far too long. I guess I noticed that I was doing it way back in high school, and to be honest I am now convinced that the reason I have multiple caps to protect my molars is the clenching associated with that stress. It was never a really serious problem, at least until this last year, I would often wake up with a sore jaw, sometimes so sore that I found it hard to eat. I actually noticed the problem my first day of work this week, Tuesday. It started about mid day and just wouldn't stop hurting. I am thankful I could see a dentist this week, or the problem could have been much worse. I guess I'm still having a little trouble with the "not letting things get to me" issue. Maybe it had more to do with the wedding invitation than work, I don't know. I guess I'm going to have to focus a little more on not focusing.
