State of the me

Spent another fun and exciting morning at the dentist's. Once again, oh hello, electric pulse, meet the muscles in my face and jaw. It's an irritating process, but stops short of being actually painful. Gah.

I now have a (very expensive) fitted piece of hard plastic wrapped around my bottom teeth. (Don't worry, it comes out for eating.) The upside: it will reposition the muscles in my jaw to get everything back to where it's supposed to be. The downside: Said repositioning is not, for the first week, pain-free. Also, it's oh-so-much fun trying to talk clearly. Did I mention I was on one reference desk or another all day? The over-enunciation may be a small part of the reason for the muscle ache, come to think.

However, I did manage to answer a couple of much-delayed emails and a few LJ comments last night, and got a couple more book blurbs written. I've been sporadically playing Zelda lately. It's a nice, brain-settling pastime for when even reading feels like work. I finished Ocarina of Time and started Majora's Mask. Having a time limit on the game stresses me, I've realized, but the cuteness of Deku Bush Link is overwhelming.

Now to see how well hunk o' plastic in mouth and sleeping mix....
