Self-Medicated

I finally found out how to spell it and found the website. I mentioned in a post earlier that I have a new thingy in my mouth. Its an Aqualizer not an aquanator. Anyways, here is the site all about it. “Aqualizier” is a plastic piece with tiny water bladders that I have to bite on. It has teally helped with the tight muscles in my jaw. My bite has shifted so now I’m having to adjust to that, but that is what is supposed to happen. With my TMJ that I have had for the 15 years, my lower jaw has slowly moved forward. This little thingy is going to help put my bite back a bit. It wont be back to where it was before I got TMJ, but it will definitely improve it.

I will be using this for as long as the Dentist thinks I need it. Most likely I will have it till I bite thru the bladders…lol He has said that I will need a night guard since I clench and grind my teeth at night. I guess that will be figured out next visit.

Found this player yesterday and played with it all day. Very easy to use. Just pick the era and the type of music you like and then pick a mood. It will start to play songs. It has a very large collection. If you sign up you can look at your favorites list and see everything that you have listened to.

Thats right, summer is almost gone. We hardly even had a summer this year. Gregg and I did make it to Jericho beach once. The weather has been very different this year. Seems that each year it gets worse. Soon we wont even have a summer. It will just be winter and spring. Just another reason to move to Mexico.

So this friday will be 2 months since dad is gone. Time sure flys. Mom got the keys to her new condo this weekend. Now she is starting on all the reno’s. New flooring and paint. New appliancies in the kitchen. So many little things to get done before she can move in. It will keep her busy.

Gregg and I will be staying home and saving our pennies so that we can return to Mexico again in the near future. I was hoping to go back next year, but it looks like it wont happen. We have to come up with 3000 bucks for our share of a new roof for the condo building. So no more going out for dinners. We have to cut back on everything. Maybe we will make it to Mexico in 2010.

I have some projects I plan to finish this year. I want to get all my scrapbooking done. Get some pictures enlarged for the living room walls. Take out my sewing machine and head to mom’s so she can teach me how to sew since I totally forgot how. Get all our Mexico pictures edited and get the videos off the tapes and on to my pc and burn them to discs. I know there are a few other things I need to do too.

I also want to get back into my yoga and start walking more.

Well it was a nice evening. Gregg didnt know that we were meeting with Mom and Waltrude and Wally. He knew that Matt and Bree would be there. I think he was surprised. Dinner was very yummy, but we were shocked at the cost. Prices have gone up. Something must of happened with our bill, cause we only had to pay 8.12 for everything.??? Did mom pay? I dont think so. I didnt notice. Oh well. After dinner we came back to our place for coffee and cake. I made a chocolate cake for Gregg. First one I have made in 18 years! LOL.. Last time was for Colby’s first birthday. It turned out good.

I got Gregg a stainless steel necklace. He needed one for his Mexico charm. It really looks good on him. Other than that we are planning a BBQ dinner with his dad for tomorrow. Dad is bringing the steaks and we supply the rest. Should be a nice relaxing afternoon.

Today we are staying in our cool condo. We turned on the A/C last night before bed. Good thing we did, otherwise it would be really hot in here. So thats all for now.
