For some reason, I've been spending an obscene amount of time in Toledo lately. There's something nice about spending an afternoon at the lake with my dogs instead of feeling cramped in an apartment in Columbus with my cats. Don't get me wrong now, if I could bring the cats to the lake I totally would. Unfortunately, my dogs eat cats. For real. Next year, I'm thinking I'm going to need to live some place closer to water. And maybe get a dog as well :)
In other news, I went to the dentist yesterday and found out the pain I was having was being caused by me clenching my jaw incessantly throughout the day. Apparently, it's a stress-related thing (another reason I need to get the hell out of Columbus). Now I get to wear a retainer that keeps me from locking my jaw. The funny part was that the dentist was like, "Damn! You grind your teeth so hard in the back that you flex the teeth in th front." She told me it was practically unheard of. When I related this story to my mom she laughed and said, "Yeah, I remember you bit me once when you were a kid." I died.
Disclaimer: No, my dentist didn't actually say damn. It just adds effect, bitches.
My new philosophy/Words of Wisdom: Everyone has a schedule that is a fundamental component to their life. This isn't the schedule you get from work or school, it's the one given to you at birth. Some times you get lucky and your internal reflects your external. Most of the time though, it doesn't come anywhere close. That's why, in my mind, it's ok to deviate the norm of things as long as you're pursuing your own schedule. That's why I don't think people should judge absences and failures that happened in the past so harshly. If it's a matter of pursuing the internal then that's understandable. Give them a second chance.
