Maybe that's the problem

I skipped wearing my nightgaurd last night to do a little experiement and my jaw hurts less today without it.  Maybe that's the problem?  Maybe my teeth have moved since the last time I used it.  They aren't looking as straight as they used to! O_O  Nooo!  All those years of orthodonticsssss.  When I get on a good health/dental plan I'm going to see about getting a retainer or something to straighten them out again, just that little bit.  They don't need to be perfect but I don't want them to get any worse.  Maybe I will just stop wearing the gaurd then.  It seems to be doing more harm than good. 

Mail from K this morning.  Seeing him is going to be hard.  Being the last stretch of school and then he'll be starting to work as a nurse.  From what I know from Patrina, it's pretty grueling shift work (at least in Canada) and he'll probably want to see his friends on his days off.  I don't even know.  Let's not get ahead of ourselves. 

Today is going to suck majorly.  A full day of grade 5 and then club.  I'm basically just going to repeat the club activity from last time.  Grade 3 are doing their "club visit" today to see what clubs they want to join next year.  Andrew's party starts at 630/7 but I'll probably show up late and then leave early.  I've decided not to drink tonight.  We're supposed to BYOB or something to share and I was going to bake but I haven't perfected that recipe yet.  I'm going to try a different recipe tomorrow and see how that goes.  And I will stop by Jusco on the way home from work and splurge on a scale and steamer.  It will be worth it in the end if I end up baking/cooking more.  I need to measure the size of my pot though so that it fits.

God is it really Friday already?  Where the fuck did the week go?

I'm such a spendthrift.

When I want something specific, of course I won't be able to find it.  For god's sake.  I just wanted a fucking bamboo steamer!  I ended up being a 3P steamer pot.  At least I'll be more inclined to make soups now (not that I have anywhere to store that much...).  And I found a scale.  Ended up spending 5000 yen on more equipment that I really don't have the place to store.  But if you want to bake, you can't really cut corners.  I also got a new pyrex measuring cup.  They must have come up with something new cuz it's not as heavy as my old one.  

It's windy as hell outside.  And I have a headache.  That really makes me want to just curl up and wait for UtaOni to come on but I'm going to miss that.  :(  I'm going to be late to Andrew's but what's new.  He asked me to get raspberry vodka but neither Jusco or Donki had it.  They hardly even had any flavoured vodka (Jusco had Peppar... yes, with an A... sounds interesting?) so I'm going to make another batch of mushi pan and take that with me.  I should be able to whip them up quickly with this new recipe while I make rice for dinner.  After cleaning up after the last round, of course.  

I'll try the other recipe and see what happens.

:DDD
