I know I knew it before, and it's so funny that it still affects me, but every time my mother stresses me out, I start grinding my teeth in my sleep. Do you know how much force is exerted on your jaw when you grind your teeth? A lot of force. A lot of frkkn force. I don't remember the commercial for the mouth guards, but it's something like ten pounds or something. I'd be lying if I gave any number at all, but you get the point.
As I mentioned, I've been grinding my teeth at night, which makes waking up a real blast, you know? I just feel bright and cheery and full of love and sunshine and chirping birds are just flocking to my windowsill to sing at me in trills of frolicking joy. Yeah, I feel like THAT when I wake up.
So I'm stuck with this headache all the livelong day because I don't have 15 bucks to spare right now to buy a mouth guard, and I'm hoping I have the mental discipline to keep my tongue between my teeth like a mediator while I'm sleeping.
That's basically what I wanted to say.
Also, I can't believe I didn't catch a red zigzag under 'livelong', because who's used that term since... I don't know, Song of the South.
If you don't know what Song of the South is, maybe 'Zip a dee doo dah' will ring a bell?
