Toothy Things  
The dentist decided yesterday that I have to get a night guard to stop me from clenching my jaw. Apparently if I don't stop I'm going to build up enough bone that they'll want to consider surgery to remove excess bone and that sounds positively painful and like something to be avoided at all costs.

Has anyone ever had one of these things? How annoying is it? Did it work? The mold-making led me to believe that this is going to be a very uncomfortable thing.

The dentist is never a *fun* visit but I schedule my cleanings for early afternoon and end up taking off the entire afternoon so it isn't bad. Yesterday's visit was no fun at all, though, because I was suffering from an allergy attack. Excuse me, I was suffering an adverse reaction*** to having walked past a seafood counter at the grocery store.

Today? I feel hungover, which is very annoying. I think being hungover should happen from exercising poor judgment while having fun rather than being stupid while walking past food.

***I have weird allergies adverse reactions. I am allergic to bizarre things: seafood, roses, and champagne -- but hey! I'm a cheap date!

Egads! You're sick again?!? Poor, poor you. :( *pets*

How does that affect this Saturday? Should we take a wait and see approach? Amy isn't available this weekend and Joe is buried until the Fashion Week is over (post-March 17th) so it's just my schedule that we have to accommodate. I can reschedule with ease. We can even reschedule day of -- I don't need a lot of warning or anything. If Greg has been sick, he might not feel up to wandering through a museum.

I DID see your e-mail this morning but didn't have a chance to reply. If you need help hanging your stuff at Jerry's, let me know. I'm available to hammer, stick, measure, tote, or go and get beverages as needed. :)

Yay for Meg! I guess that means no more killer job in heels for her! :) Next time we get together, we should definitely celebrate.

(The bone building I knew about from my days in archaeology. It's a good thing, really. You want your bones to thicken up if you start lifting weights -- snapping your arm would be a bad thing -- it's just that I'm not supposed to be exercising those bones so much. Oops.)

Hehe, answered your own question ;) IF Jerry is ready (I just talked to him this morning and he's sick now, too!) we'll be there on Saturday to hang the art come hell or high water. I've no idea HOW we'll pull that off, we still have to put hangers on the canvases I'm taking, but we plan to get it done. As for needing help, it should be a MUCH easier task than it was at Mo Mong (and fuck them, right?), because all we need to do is drive nails into the walls (bless Jerry... I'm even willing, when the show is over, to stick around and patch the holes for him) so no help should be necessary. However, if you want to just come and hang out, you know I'm always thrilled to see you, and no doubt we'll be heading somewhere for dinner afterwards, even dusty and dirty as we're likely to be, so you're welcome to just join us for that, if you like :D I would love to bring a bottle of wine with me and have a toast, but I'm not sure how Jerry feels about that- it's his place of business, after all.

Yay for Meg! I guess that means no more killer job in heels for her! :) Next time we get together, we should definitely celebrate.

Yeah. I can't tell you how proud I am of the way she's turned her life around in the last few years. Now she's talking about going to law school when she graduates, and while I've no idea where the money is coming for that, it's exciting to know she's looking so closely at her future :D

If I'd stop to think about this, I would have realized it, too. Gymnasts have increidbly dense bones for much the same reason (the heavy, constant impact of landings takes care of that for them). Unfortunately for people like Megan, it can also lead to fused bones in critical joint areas, like wrists, knees and ankles.

Poor Jerry. :( This flu is the pits and I know how misery-making it is.

If you end up hanging your show this Saturday, I'd love to tag along. Whether or not you need me -- I'll be there for moral support. Also? I want to take pics of your stuff in situ.

I think the idea of wine is a good one. Yeah, run it by Jerry but he serves it to clients while they're getting done so I really don't think he'll have any problems with it.

If you're up to it -- and if Greg is up to it -- I'd love to go and have dinner afterwards. We could call it all a "maybe" plan -- if Jerry is ready, if y'all are well enough to hang stuff, and if y'all have enough energy to go out to dinner, we will. ;-)

Gymnasts must have very interesting skeletons. I never got to study them (really too modern), sadly. Fused bones, though, sounds very painful. There's a reason there so many little tiny bones with bizarre and irregular articular surfaces in those areas!

Ok, just now heard from Jerry and we've set the date for 4pm on the 3rd of March. He said the other artist can't make it 'till then, but actually, I'm really glad. Greg is barely hanging on, and like I said, I'm back on the downslide, so hopefully by the 3rd we'll ALL be healthy and raring to go :D

Since I'm not going to be at the Salon this weekend, I think it would be smarter if I stayed home and as close to the bed as possible. I'm so tired of being sick and with spring coming (isn't the weather today spectauclar??) I am antsy to get back on my feet and out into it! :D

We would love to see you on the 3rd, I think it would be a lot of fun both to have you there and to take you to dinner afterwards :D :D

We would love to see you on the 3rd

Oops, I meant, if you're free :D

Of course I am! I have no social life. :)

4 p.m. on the 3rd it is! I think it is smart to rest up, too. 99% of them time when I'm sick, the only thing that really helps is rest. Pain in the ass but there it is.

I don't know yet about the weather today. It certainly *looks* spectacular out my window. I'm looking forward to hopping in the car after work and putting the top down. :)

You know, it isn't necessary to buy me dinner every time we get together.

And I'm such a dork, too... I forgot that I DO have to be in the city this weekend... the 3rd is the annual art auction at Starbucks, so I need to bring some pieces up there that I want to donate. If I'm not feeling like complete crap, you wanna meet, if only for coffee?
Mish: Thor -- I survived Roswell[identity profile] hsapiens.livejournal.com on February 22nd, 2007 03:45 am (UTC)
Absolutely! Just let me know where and when, hon. :)
