#120 - Just Live Your Life

[Live Your Life, T.I. feat. Rihanna]

Today was a good day, on many levels.  For one, I finally realized how much my emotions and attitude affect my physical well-being.  The thing is, I felt just as cruddy today as normal but I made the decision to view today as an opportunity to start fresh... I don't have to be who I was yesterday, or last week, or last month.  I had an awesome time with God, just reading the Word, journaling, and praying while Brody was taking his first nap (he naps from 9-10:30am and 1-2:15pm each day, or in the general thereabouts) and it was such a sweet time to just spend time with the Father.  I felt better about life, in general, and had loads of fun with the Brodster.  Overall, it was lovely.

I have an appointment scheduled for Friday, a consult re: getting my wisdom teeth removed.  This is very good.  My wisdom teeth suck.  Once that is taken care of I am going to see the dentist about the fact that I grind my teeth.  See, I have horrible headaches most mornings when I wake up, and ibuprofen barely touches them.  Two nights ago, while snuggled up in bed, I postulated to my husband that perhaps I grind my teeth and that's why I get such awful headaches.  He, abnormally animated for him, was all, "Dude!  Yeah!  Like at least once every other week I wake up because I can hear you grinding your teeth."  I guess it never occurred to him to mention it before.

So here's the deal-- clench your jaw and grind your back teeth for a few seconds, and then take note of the terrible way the muscles around your temples tighten up... this explains why my headaches always feel like their behind my eyes.  Not being in the throes of constant headache-age would be super fantastic.  The prospect is exciting.

Not a lot else to say... I walked for 25 minutes today.  My back wasn't so happy afterward, but it felt good to have walked 4 (work) days in a row.  Right now I am blogging this, downloading music, watching ANTM, reading Facebook statuses, listening to iTunes, and overall doing all of the things at once that would drive my husband abso-freaking-lutely BONKERS.  Good thing he's asleep :)

Ok, that's all.  Hasta.

Maybe you've got the TMJ awesomeness like me! I had a mouthguard made (unfortunately my dental insurance wasn't super at the time and it cost $200 +) and I am supposed to wear it at night. I've heard it can help a ton, but I take mine out in the middle of the night and hide it from myself unconsciously. Very helpful. I am so glad that you guys have good insurance now that will probably cover stuff like the surgery and the wisdom teeth--Praise God!
