Haven't gotten a whole lot done yet. Don't feel all that great.
Part of it is that I'm finally trying to adjust to the lower dentures. Has to be done sometime. Preferably sometime when I don;t have to be on the phone the first day. I'm able to tolerate them but it's making me slightly nauseated. Keeping my jaw separated more than I have for a couple of years plus a bit of gum discomfort. Takes time to build tolerance to them. But at least I can handle them being in my mouth now, so a strong step forward.
What did not help the nausea was having to pick up dog crap. I made a big mistake in letting them have a treat of chicken parts night before last. I mix their dog food with mint and chlorophyll tablets, which keeps their stench down to a tolerable level. The chicken parts, not so much. Seems they tried to pack as much rancidness into that as they could. No, that's not imagination. Some animals have scent glands which emit musk. Dogs have anal glands which emit something quite different and can control how much punch their stink has.
Finances may be a little tight for the next two weeks. Not horrible, since I have lots of food in the house. Just have to keep a handle on extraneous expenses. Cigarettes, gas and coffee are the biggest expenses on the needs list. Otherwise, spend a little money for holiday activities with daughter.
After the holidays is when I need to get serious about building savings. Think I should be able to accumulate a reserve fairly quickly. I was able to build up money for the dentures in about two months time. Though I expect the utility bills to be considerably higher for a month or two.
Okay, stomach has calmed down from the dog stench and gums feel better since taking some Naproxen. Need to get up and get a few things done.
