I survived the dentist appointment. I'm under orders to brush my teeth 4 times a day, floss twice, use a special mouthwash twice, and take antibiotics twice a day. So if you're wondering where I am at any point of the day during the next 6 weeks, I'm probably doing some act of dental hygiene. Really my mouth wasn't that gross, I had almost no build-up. I just have a weird bacteria party going on my mouth (odorless by the way) that is keeping my gums from being as healthy as they should be.
Now that we've gotten that TMI part of the post out of the way, let me complain about my cold. Which I still have. Although this one may be a new cold virus because the symptoms are slightly different from what I suffered over the weekend. Which is different than the fever/chills thing I had last Tuesday & Wednesday. Market tip: go buy stock in Vicks because I'm going through a lot of Dayquil/Nyquil. And the crazy thing is that I'm positive the kids are the carriers of all these germs (because I sure as hell don't interact with anyone) and they are perfectly healthy. Which is very good I know but still... I just want to breath through my nose and drink something other than hot tea.
The only good thing about all this is I've lost another 2 1/2 pounds. Food isn't so appetizing when I can't smell and my throat feels like sandpaper. Add a dental cleaning that feels like I was kicked in the mouth and voila, instant weight loss.
Blah, now I feel like some weirdo harboring mutant strains of bacteria and viruses that everyone is going to avoid like the plague. Which at least I do not have. I think...
Have a lovely (and "mutant strains of bacteria and viruses"-free) Friday!
