Yesterday evening I did Yoga with Bird's 10 Minute Morning Yoga. Today was a longer walk, around a mile. More yoga later today, probably a shorter one.
My tooth doesn't hurt as much today. Last night, I took an antihistamine that is also prescribed for anxiety, and I didn't grind my teeth as much. It's definitely due to anxiety. I also got my permanent crowns today from the crown dentist. He adjusted all my teeth, and actually adjusted the bottom front teeth. I knew my molars were lower than before, and needed alignment with the rest of my teeth. They were adjusted too many times, and that's why that one tooth was so painful, it was too high. But the TMJ specialist and the dentist who referred me to her wouldn't listen. Although, the grinding and all the work I've had done definitely contributed, but it wasn't the only factor. Crossing my fingers that my mouth guard will be adjusted properly Thursday. If not, I'm going to another TMJ specialist.
I applied for two clerical jobs, part time. One was "will train." The hiring manager actually called me back! I have to have a second phone interview with the manager that needs the assistant. I don't know how far I'll get, and with my hearing loss, I have to ask them to repeat themselves a bit on the cell phone. But the job doesn't require a lot of phone work. We shall see. I never got any responses to ads until I took off the year I graduated from college. I'm sure they think I'm in my 40's and 50's, and not 62, lol. But at least it's an experience, even if I don't get it. The hours are 7:30-2:30 in the office. I don't think it's too far from my house, and I would be going against traffic, so the rush hour wouldn't be too bad. Although, with the dark circles under my eyes from not sleeping, they might think I'm a drug addict, lol. If I don't get this, I'll apply at Fry's grocery. I need to pay off my teeth debt, and I'm getting depressed staying at home lately. I've always thought I was an introvert, but I think I might lean more to extrovert. I really need to be around people. I think I just have some social anxiety.
Liz, good job on doing the challenge. Your day off sounded nice and relaxing.
Donna, good luck on the job interview. I'm sure the crown won't be too painful to replace, since you don't have pain. I had three done today, and not much pain with any of them. It's just that one darn tooth, or lack of tooth, now that it's pulled.
