I guess when I wake up, I'll be 30. I worked a half day at work but didn't leave until almost 4pm bc I did some work on the OM and spent some time figuring out this implant temp crown stuff cuz I'm gonna do it for the first time on Friday. I got a caramel Frappuccino from Starbucks bc I had a reward. I did a hot core cardio class for the first time in a while and my UR back has been annoying me since then. I got some hot and sour soup and cheese puffs from Chinese Seafood Plus for carry out for dinner and watched Shark Tank while eating it. I watched the last third of the Astros game and they won the World Series tonight so that was awesome. I can't wait until the weekend.

I didn't have work this morning. I went to sleep late last night playing Candy Crush. It makes me feel like a terrible person. I got out of bed at 7:45am so I could go to the 8:15 warm 60 class. I showered and got ready for work after. We had a baby shower potluck for Dr. M today. My vegan desserts were eaten. The chocolate cake was especially well-received. I had this one pt this afternoon who was told by our endodontist that the tooth I just did a crown on isn't worth saving so I had to smooth that one over. I had a couple of brothers to do fillings on and they were cooperative. Went home after and had chips with my banh mi for dinner. I need to not fall into bad eating habits again. I'm crazy unusually sleepy this evening. It's only 10pm and I could easily pass out now but the Astros game is on tonight and they have a chance of winning the World Series with this game. I wasn't even into baseball before all these World Series games.

I picked up a crown in the morning. The afternoon was super slow but I got a denture impression so my production was really good. I went to the post office at lunch to drop off my Stitch Fix stuff. I returned all of it bc I didn't have to pay a styling fee and really didn't like anything enough in this fix. I went to the chiropractor after work. I'm still skeptical about its effectiveness. I wanted to go to yoga after. In fact, I drove to the studio. Somehow I got SUPER sleepy on the way there, like I could have fallen asleep while driving. I napped in the parking lot then drove home. The STEM was on super high at the chiropractor and I think it may have drained me. The damn roach is in my room. D didn't catch it this morning again and I saw it near the closet just now so I'm sleeping in S's room tonight.

Sun, 10/29/17: H and I went to Spring today. We had lunch with his mom at this Chinese restaurant up there that's like a Confucius knock off with the lobster. We picked up an entertainment center at Walmart and H spent the afternoon putting it together for her. Back at the apt, I baked some muffins and a chocolate cake for Tuesday's potluck at work. The Astros game was on tonight and finished close to 1am and they won. I saw a roach in my room and when D went to go kill it, we couldn't find it anymore. I going to bed cautiously...

Sat, 10/28/17: H and I went to Starbucks then Academy so H could find an Astros shirt. We went to Maba for lunch and it got dramatic from there. H asked if I wanted to talk then I started crying. We went back to the apt and I had a good cry then we talked some things out. He went to the Astros game. I went to HEB and cooked sunflower mac for dinner. I also rewatched Stranger Things episode one to see what I fell asleep through. Astros lost. Once H got back we tried watching ST episode 2 but fell asleep on the couch until 5:20am before going to bed.

Fri, 10/27/17: I got Chick-fil-A for breakfast because I had a big case in the morning. I first had an implant crown delivery that I had to send back bc the lab pushed the impression coping too far into the impression so the crown was fucked up. I did an anterior 8 case and it was the fastest I've ever done one. I was done right by lunchtime. The temps turned out super easy to make. I did a bunch of exams in the afternoon. Did a good huddle at the end of the day. Went to H's place. We had dinner at Huynh. We tried going to Cafe TH but it was closed. We dropped by Lucky's Lodge bc they were having an Astros game viewing in the parking lot. We just stayed for one inning bc it was cold out. We watched the rest of the game at the apt. I was still quiet around him. We watched the first episode of season 2 of Stranger Things but I fell asleep while watching.

I was the only doc at the office today. It was an endorsement day. I did 3 crowns, including a difficult #16. I picked up 2 NGs and a stayplate. Didn't leave until almost 6pm. Went straight home. H finally asked if I wanted to talk tomorrow. I have a big case tomorrow, so I'm gonna turn in now at 11pm. One more week from today I'll be 30.

It was a slow morning at work. I only had two pts. I had 4 no shows/short notice cancellations. I ate Chipotle for lunch. I picked up a crown from a CCX in the afternoon. Did a hot 60 after work. I'm gonna try to sleep early tonight.

Tues, 10/14/17: I didn't have to go to work until 11:40am. I woke up around 8am and played Candy Crush and surfed the net. I went to the chiropractor for the first time since August bc I have upper right back pain. It's always something with my body these days. I ran out of benefits so I researched some upper back strengthening exercises so I don't have to keep paying for the chiropractor. I picked up a healthy Chick-Fil-A meal before going to work. Work was boring. Just did some exams and easy kid exts. Did a hot 60 class. Started watching season 3 of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.

Mon, 10/23/17: Did an inlay this morning and got some future tx booked from some exams. Did a hot 60. Chatted with S bc she just got a ring for her engagement to the Laosian guy. Watched Shark Tank. Ordered a Trunk Club and bought an Everlane dress online. Chilled. Still didn't talk to H today.

Sun, 10/22/17: Spent the whole day being quiet and short around H bc I've been feeling lonely, depressed, and upset, especially after he was gone for so long last night and had been busy with real estate and sports stuff a lot lately. We went to Pierogi Queen for lunch then spent the afternoon in Galveston checking on all his houses. We got Chinatown massages and ate at Afandin for dinner. I left his apt not long after we got back. I don't know how to approach him about my feelings. He's so busy with other things that it doesn't seem like he genuinely has time to prioritize our relationship stuff.

Sat, 10/21/17: Went to The Original Kolache Shoppe for breakfast. After going back to the apt to shower, H had a meeting so I waited for him around the Heights. We went to Spring so he could see his mom's house. Got to see MM. Went back to the apt and H went to the Astros game while I stayed at his apt.

Fri, 10/20/17: Did a crown in the morning with newbie assistant R and was baffled at her inability to take an intraoral photo of a broken crown. Was also pissed that she was caught by two ppl glazing the crown wrong. Went to the Astros game with H and his mom and brother. Another good game. We met up with C and N and a group of their friends at Houston Watch Company.

[lesliedds]

Did a redo crown and a NP who didn't want to schedule for TX in the morning. Two hour staff meeting where the zoom rep came. Did some exams, kid exts, endo referrals, and a crown in the afternoon. Went directly home after work.

Wed, 10/18/17: Slow day. Not even gonna go into details cuz I don't feel like it. Heard of a couple of incidences where newbie assistant A was undermining the docs with comments about their work/diagnoses and that annoys me. I haven't heard it personally yet but I reviewed it in the huddle. It's been bugging me periodically tonight. There are plans to let her and this other new assistant go so hopefully we find their replacements soon. We turned down an assistant that we interviewed Monday. Did a flow class after work.

I had the day off bc I didn't have any pts scheduled today. I picked up my contacts and went to Sustain for an acai bowl for breakfast. I went to Etheria for a haircut with this guy named Tye. It was nice to have a talkative hair stylist for once. He thinned my hair out a lot. It'll be interesting to see how it grows out. I'm not sure if it's as short as I wanted it either. It was $80 so it was pretty expensive so I'm not sure yet if I'll be back. I went to Rice Village to return a dress at Gap. I went to Blossom Massage for the first time and got a good massage from the owner Ilan. Not my favorite massage but it was good. I went to Dandelion Cafe to kill some time before my 4pm flow class. Renewed my dental license. Spent the rest of the evening watching Shark Tank. My tummy doesn't feel good after this cauliflower cheddar soup from Central Market that I had for dinner. I hope it's just heart burn. I'll be pissed if it's food poisoning.

I picked up an anterior 8 case this morning who prepaid and scheduled for next week on Friday. I picked up a PFM on the afternoon. I dealt with a lady do claims the hygienist chipped her tooth with the cavitron last week during her cleaning (pt ended up paying for the composite to fix it). Interviewed this one DA after work. Not sure what I think about her but I have to text Dr. D about it tomorrow. Did an 8pm sonic hot class. Ate a caprese salad and granola bar for dinner and watched some Shark Tank.
