When I woke up this morning I noticed that my bite was aligned properly once again. Some of it, anyway. I wonder if the fact that the tooth they pulled was getting lower had something to do with throwing my bite off, though I don’t doubt the TMJ had something to do with it as well. Because the teeth on the left side still don’t make much contact, I worry that they too are eventually going to push down and up.

My back and my lip were better as well but now my lip is kind of burning again. I’m still not sure what’s up with that. I’m hoping it was just some kind of sore or blister that got delayed from healing only because they’d been working in my mouth and aggravated it.

We’re supposed to get some rain tonight. Really hope my sleep isn’t disturbed but if it is, at least I’m currently caught up on that.

When Tom went out to pick up more glue this morning he noticed that the roads up front haven’t been done yet. I thought, oh great. The heavy equipment is going to be going by our place while I’m sleeping but he says he doesn’t think so because they wouldn’t want to chew up the brand-new asphalt, especially with those heavy rollers. Plus, they shouldn’t need to go by us to do that section. It should be far enough away not to feel the vibration here. They did say they expected to work until the 28th. I just hope this is going to be it for a while. Really felt like I was back at the old place for a few days there!

He rehung the bedroom closet door but we still have to get new trim for that doorway. I guess the people before us or whoever built the house put the trim too far back in the frame.

All the panels that we need for the doghouse are now glued. The soundproofing material is now glued to the foam panels. We agreed to raise the frame of the doghouse so that it’s easier for me to get in and out without bumping my head. Believe me, I’m getting really sick of having to duck every time I get in and out of bed. We’re going to raise the headboard shelves as well since they were always a bit low to begin with. Also, before we soundproof the head of the bed, We’re going to drape a quilt over that area to get a sense of how effective the soundproofing is. The soundproofed areas are going to be on top, the foot, and the side facing the exterior wall. This will be done soon as well as the rest of the wallpaper and then we have to get someone out to look at the lanai roof.

Decided that at 160 pounds, I may not be able to lose weight but I’m really asking to become diabetic if I keep on having sugar and processed stuff so it’s definitely time to try to cut back a bit. I want to eat four times a day. If I get up at 10 AM, for example, I’ll eat at noon, three, six, and nine. Eventually, I wanna have two meal bars for two of those eats, a piece of fruit and yogurt for another one, and then the last time I eat I’ll have a full-blown home-cooked meal which will usually consist of chicken or fish.

Had a weird dream that I recently moved into a two-story older house with an older woman. The houses in the area were large and had spacious yards. I was looking for something or putting things on the shelf in the closet of the master bedroom realizing that it had really good shelf space in it. The woman I was living with was going to see this guy she’d known a long time, and I wondered when or if they would ever marry.

Then we were outdoors and I saw a girl in her late teens or early 20s in front of one of the houses across the street. She had her hair in two long ponytails and wore a crop top.

Then I noticed that the girl, part of a large family that lived in that house, set up a round table on the corner of their front yard closest to us.

Great, I said. “They have this huge yard yet they have to set up closest to us. Why don’t they use the backyard where they have more privacy?”

When the family and their guests were finally seated at the dinner table, I saw one of them pick up a power tool that was on a table nearby and switch it on for a few seconds, showing me that I would likely be in for noisy projects.

I later mentioned to the woman I lived with that I was eager to get to bed so that tomorrow could come quicker but then that would mean my boredom would come quicker too. She said something about getting out so I wouldn’t be bored and I reminded her that she would be at work with the car.
