Rise and Shine

Guess who can't sleep in

So apparently I'm back to my insomniac ways; can now get to sleep(with only mild difficulty), and stay asleep, but I wake up ridiculously early. This week's average is 6:30am. Haven't been able to sleep in past 7.

I only have 1 client and she's my evening patient, so that will be fine. Lots of charting will be done in the first block. Get to do some house sitting this weekend and (guinea) pig sitting. My friend told me she has nothing at her place to eat;

Mac: Ok, so I have nothing at my place to eat, I can buy some stuff. We don't even have milk or butter!

Me: Wow, butter would be nice, but I have a bunch of milk to finish before May 12, so I'll just bring that... Is it ok if I drink the really good green-tea? I really don't know what I want.

Mac: Go for the tea. Seriously, like you want juice, pop, beer, pizza?

Me: Well I guess beer and lasagna with a pack of the salad I turned you onto should be fine...

Mac: Hahahaha! OMG you sound like a bachelor, minus the salad

Me: :P

Mac: BTW, I should buy TP, I think we're out

Me: Yea... that would be nice

Sounds like a good weekend eh?

Keep it flossy

Fun Fact: Retainers and dentures should not be cleaned with toothpaste. It has a abrasive properties and that damage said appliances (you're teeth are fine because your saliva will remineralize the teeth) Cleaning with a soapy toothbrush is ideal

Thoughts of the Broken-Hearted

Almost-Morning y'all

So I just got back from my break home. Funny story (because I have a great sense of humour and apparently a very high self-stupidity tolerance) 1h into the flight I spilled my ice-cold water on my lap, and I had to sit the entire flight with wet bottoms. Most unpleasant. Silver lining? I was going to get hot tea, but changed my mind at the last minute.

Canucks are 3 for 3! EFF YEA!!!!

I think it's the air that make me so nauseated here. I was fine at home, I was fine in Calgary, but oh boy, since I've been back in the big T, I have just done nothing but want to drink fluids until I pee myself into oblivion. My stomach is in knots! Weird eh? I really didn't want to come back and pouted in the car the whole ride to the airport. I think my mom actually felt sorry for me this time.

I already told my teacher that I won't be there for peer-mentoring tomorrow, but since plans have changed and I'm not spending the night at grams', I may go in for the last hour, cause yea right, I am so not setting my alarm.

Fun facts: fluoridated water is only beneficial between the ages of 6 to 18. Fluoride in your body won't do much once your teeth are already grown. The in-office fluoride just goes straight on the teeth and that is the best way to strengthen already erupted adult teeth.

Keep it flossy

PS: Sharra, I give up trying to comment on your posts. Your blog hates me, I've tried commenting 5 times and it never works. I would pee on it if I was a dog. Love you<3

Insomnia at it's Finest

GOOD MORNING SHARRA

I am posting, and dedicating this to you.

I cannot sleep

My bum is itchy

And I farted about 20 minutes ago. I'm surprised it did not wake my landlords who sleep right above my room.

Fun Fact: the same bacteria that give you gingivitis and also lead to heart attacks and such, so if you don't take care of your teeth, that same bacteria can get into your blood and kill you. Bringing a whole new meaning to floss or die

Keep it flossy

It Tingles!

Wow, I'm been missing for a while,

I've been feeling a little off this week, which entailed me almost crying about the wonders of french fries and hot-sauce (I know, very emotional, especially for me,) so this is going to be another short post. I keep thinking about updating this sucker, but I'm getting so lazy. I need motivation. Good news is that I'm almost always motivated enough to finish my studies. Woot!

So in regards to my title, I feel what is described as the onset of a coldsore. I have NEVER had herpes1 before, nor have I been anywhere within 5ft of someone with an active one, so I have no idea where this came from! Its right by the corner of my lip, so I'm hoping it's either a pimple or canker sore that's really really big, so I can feel it through and through. I was thinking of posting on facebook: "WHO GAVE ME HERPES1?", but I'm really sure all my many MANY relatives that I have on there would FLIP OUT, so that idea went out the window really fast.

Going out for church and grocery shopping with my cousins today, so that means I get lots and lots of Goan/Indian food when I get there! YAY!

Keep it flossy

Fun Fact: When you're about to get a coldsore/herpes1 activity on you face, the area will feel tingly before it's visible. You can't be treated at the dentist until it starts to crust over, 3-4days after it appears, because it could pop while we use our instruments, and the fluids could be transferred to other areas of your mouth and face. When that happens, you get the infection in those areas, and that is painful. Imagine if it got in your eye! So cancel your appointment if you see it, they will send you home anyways (they should if they're practicing ethically.)

I'm BAAAaaack

Ello poppits

So I'm back from my little week and a half vacation. You never realize how much you miss home until you've left and gone back.

Almost finished unpacking, which will then be followed up with showering, setting the new alarm scheduel and reading my encyclopedia of a textbook. 2nd semester starts tomorrow. I'm 1/4 of a way done. I'm growing up

Fun Fact: Because you have a salivary duct opening close to the upper jaw's left 1st molar tooth, it is more likely to get cavities. Brush them well!

Keep it flossy

RIP Uncle Sandy

So...

I found out late last week that my uncle passed away in Calgary. He was very close with my dad, and many other relatives here. My family and I used to drive over to seem them almost every summer when my sister and I were kids, and it was always a bunch of fun. I spent the majority of the weekend with family, and they told me a lot of stories about my family tree. This is by far my favourite quote:

"If you don't serve yourself, you'll never get anything to eat"

He was talking to, my now-part-of-the-family-but-was-just-a-boyfriend-way-back-when-Uncle when he came over for dinner for the first time and he was waiting for someone to pass some food down. When Uncle Sandy said that, he never lifted his head and spoke between bites. I find that quite comic.

Happy Father's Day, to both him, and my dad, and all the other fathers out there.

Keep flossing

FMS!

I PASSED

I PASSED THE RADIOLOGY FMS!!! FULL MOUTH SURVEY WAS NO MATCH FOR ME!!!!

I would like to include that we needed atleast a 90% to pass that test. I got 93%!

And I would like to know why the neighbours are ALWAYS mowing their lawn. Seriously, I'd like to have my window open and let the fresh air in without hearing your stupid-ass motorized gardening.

Keep flossing!

Fun Fact: Listerine, in combination with brushing and flossing reduces plaque by 30% and gingivitis by 25%
