Scents o' the Day ~ No. 27 and some Cheese and Whine
I got my dental splints yesterday. This is for the mess that was triggered again by getting my wisdom tooth out (not the dental surgeon's fault) back in early February. The problem actually started a few years back with another awful dental procedure, some minor accidents and my small jaw. So the splints are to hopefully get it aligned correctly again so I can eat and open my mouth pain-free, and maybe help get rid of a few other aches in the process.
I have to wear them 24 hours a day for the next three months, one during the day and one during sleep. I now have a minor lisp, but that doesn't really bother me compared to the fact that I can't eat properly with the daytime one in and it's a nightmare to take out, which I have to do every time I eat. Want to lose weight? Get splints. Ha. But I've only had a banana for breakfast so far...take my pleasure of eating away and gah...I don't want to think about it! Nor do I want to think about the fact that I've been instructed to change my diet significantly to assist in the healing process.
So, Scents o' the Day...I'm wearing Heaven and Earth Essentials Dances By Day, Dances By Night, it's an excellent fruity scent, one of the best tropical fruity (not overly so) coconuty musky scents I've sniffed, and Love Potion Perfumery Love Potion, gorgeous dusky sweet vanilla honey. They're definitely cheering my sour mood a little, but not quite enough...I expect I will be whiney and grumpy for the next few days then I'm just going to have to get used to them, that things could be much worse, and it will be worth it in the long run, but 3 months/91 days! (I don't know which sounds worse!) feels like forever right now! >:(
