Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Just looked it up and I made it a whole 3 weeks longer before turning on the heat. Yay?
(And I can tell the difference after just a bit, and it's only gone up a degree.)

Me too! I waited as long as I could.
In fact, I just ordered a new heating pad so that I can warm my bed (plus, relax my shoulders) and keep the heat down at night.
While I'm grateful to have central heat, I really, really don't like it. It's very loud and totally inconsistent. The heat goes up, then goes down, then goes up...sweater on, sweater off. Ugh.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I have octo-envy! George is adorable, and Anne is indeed awesome.

OK, random question: I apparently clench my teeth at night (I don't grind, just...clench). I got a nightguard from the dentist, which is supposed to not STOP me from doing it, but at least prevent the teeth from cracking under the pressure.
But when I wear it, I swear I feel like I do more clenching than when I don't! I'm more likely to wake up with sore teeth and aching jaw. So, is it worth wearing to help my teeth, or should I not wear it and maybe not clench AS much?

My dentist and hygienist will say that it's better to wear the guard. In fact, I think it's what they are going to tell me tomorrow at my appt. That I just need to get used to it. Grrr, hate when my mouth hurts. BUT! I am going to ask for tricks or hints to make it easier to adjust and if I get some, I will share. Because I don't grind either, but I clench.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I can't wear any kind of mouth guard; I take them out in my sleep. My doctor gave me a mild tranq to ease the clenching. Seemed to work. I don't think I do it anymore.

meara - is the guard soft or rigid? I just got a mouth guard for grinding - I was having low grade headaches and then high grade toothache. My dentist was telling me to stay away from the soft mouth guards you can buy in the store (cause it was going to take a few weeks to get the custom one) because they actually increase the jaw's impulse to bite down and grind - there's something to grab onto. Whereas the rigid one is very smooth and there's nothing to work, so there's less actual grinding.
I'm wondering if you got a soft one, if something like that could be happening?
