Misc ☆☆☆

+ This weekend was exhausting and full of communicating with people, blah. And writing did not happen. But I can't bring myself to care overmuch.

+ I've been to the dentist five times in the past month and a half, but thankfully all the cleanings and fillings and nonsense are done. I don't mind going, but I would rather not go so often, thank you. Yesterday was the last one - getting fitted for a night guard; not sure if it'll actually help with all the teeth grinding that I'm apparently doing, but we'll see.

+ There was some kind of handicraft fair in town, so I took mom down there so we could see what's what. Ended up coming home with a beautiful landscape painting by an artist who'd come up from Saskatchewan. You can see some examples of his work here, but the online versions don't do it justice - they're a hell of a lot more vivid in person. Anyway, I'm really pleased with it, and very glad that I actually have the wallspace for it (I was waffling forever because I was worried there wasn't suitable room.)

+ Tea acquired: a lovely black + chamomile mix. Black tea is not usually my poison of choice but oh my, this blend is really good.

+ Is anyone else looking forward to Doctor Sleep? I've marked the release date on my calendar (Nov 08). Saw the trailer when I went to see IT: Chapter Two, and thought it looked neat. Had not previously read the novel, so I'm going through it now; about halfway through. Liking it so far, and I'm really interested in seeing how the adaptation will go. :D

ooh that artist does look cool! I like the light in them

[yuuago]

Yeah! Some of his stuff practically glows, it's so cool. :D

Ooh, that's a lot of dentist visits :( Glad you can stop seeing them for awhile! Night guards have helped pretty much everybody I know of for sleep grinding, but it didn't do the trick for me.

That tea sounds super nice! I wouldn't've thought to put black with chamomile, but I was recently surprised by a black with juniper so maybe I should reevaluate my black tea prejudices :D

[yuuago]

So far I'm at least finding it easy to sleep with it on, so I guess I'll just keep going. xD

Also black tea with juniper sounds lovely.

[kanadka]

hooray!! *\o/*

It issss. It's a riff on an Earl Grey with jasmine + juniper so they called it Brave New Earl. We maybe bought it just for the pun.

Oof, that's a lot of dentist! I'm glad you've gotten through all those appointments. I've been using a night guard for several years and it has definitely helped, at least in the sense of preventing further damage to my teeth while I sleep. I don't have a dentist-fitted one though, just one of the ones you can fit yourself at home.

[yuuago]

Sounds like it's definitely worth a try, then. Too bad it can't help with the teeth-grinding I do while I'm awake, too. ;)

I'm looking forward to it! The trailer looked really good.

[yuuago]

I'm really hoping the actual film will be good. Some of the trailers rely too much on clips from Kubric's adaptation of The Shining, I think... But that's one way to draw people in, I guess!

Night guard helps. It's something a bit weird, okay, but at least you don't damage your teeth some more, and to have less tensions in your jaws :)

Mélusine who has to admit falling asleep to fast to remember to put hers someday ^-^°

[yuuago]

I guess it's good that I decided to try it, then!

Hopefully I'll be able to remember it every time...
