One thing the TMJ specialist told me that helps is keeping the tip of your tongue on the roof of your mouth.
That is a good suggestion. I have been clenching, grinding my teeth lately and this does stop that action.
My whole life, I've never loved anything else.

That is beautiful to hear.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I was feeling made of Fail for most of today for a variety of reasons that I won't go into, but I have salads in jars for lunches and 5 breakfasts in the freezer (or on the counter about to go into the freezer) so I've got that going for me.

Yay Suzi!
ita, I hope you get some pain-free time.
Me, I had a day of ALL ONEROUSNESS. It was my only work-day day off in about a month, and I had a TON of banking & business-type stuff to get through. I think I managed about 60% of it, including an emergency re-enrollment of my dad into his health insurance, which was rolling over into another plan in 3 weeks. I would have gotten more done, but my frelling printer has decided my generic printer cartridge doesn't exist and won't print out the forms I need to sign.
I still need to vacuum. And order curtains. And a printer cartridge.
In other news, I ran 4 miles this morning! o/ I'm not all the way back, but I was able to do it, even if I was lightheaded for most of it, and a bit wobbly on the downhills.

Four miles, woo! Don't hurt yourself trying to come back too fast, now. And 60% is not too shabby, either.
I'm doing better than I thought - SIX breakfasts. Dinners will have to take care of themselves.

Yay Consuela for TCB but sorry to hear it was so very onerous.

Mind you, this is for everyone on the subcontract. Main contract is proceeding with COLA and merit (budget is fine) increases per usual.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ugh.
I was listening to This American Life on my way to work, and got blindsided with "Mama, I'm Sorry"! I'm hoping people thought I had allergies and/or a cold, and not that I was just crying on the bus....

That sucks, sarameg,
I wish crying were more socially acceptable.

It's an upside of the Modern World of Devices, at least -- I was looking down playing solitaire, and most other people were looking at their own phones or whatever, I am sure.
