welcome to the weekly how's your week going thread

this thread is a pretty straightforward and relaxed one for giving updates on how your week is going and chat like that. nothing special

on my front: last week was total chaos, so hoping for things to calm down this week because it is completely fucking up my groove; unfortunately reddit is not making that easy. this is also not ideally timed for my emotional state. anyways, read book 20 for the year (America City by Chris Beckett). on book 21. maybe i'll marathon through a bunch of these in between keeping the site from being on fire

Over the weekend I had a tooth filling come out and I’m not really able to eat anything solid, and it’s driving me crazy (and further compounding my lack-of-energy issues). Thankfully I’d already had a dentist appointment booked for the 14th, but that feels like forever and a day.

god what a relatable experience. right before christmas i literally split a tooth in half and while it wasn't a big deal to fix it (thankfully) the three-ish days i had to navigate around missing half of a tooth that grinds your food into something swallowable was supremely uncomfortable. i can't even feel the difference between the fake and real tooth and it still makes me paranoid it's just gonna happen again when i'm eating something, lol

Oh my goodness yes! I was just trying to enjoy some chicken nuggets that were apparently just a tad too crispy while watching Fringe... Didn't expect such a disaster!

I'm hoping I can opt for a crown instead of fillings to avoid it happening again, but I'm not too sure what factors into the determination of a filling vs a crown...

For now I suppose I'll just have to enjoy a lot of oatmeal, jello, and pudding lol

in my case it was pretty straightforward: hard candy. the unexpected part was that tooth had no outward indications of anything wrong with it--no pain, no cavities, nothing like that. just broke in half one day while i was chewing. i actually have a filling in it, and that's probably what saved the tooth from being completely fucked, but also took so much of the tooth out, lol.

to say the least i am a very fastidious brusher now, at least when i can remember it. i have 60 years of life ahead of me and it'd be nice to not fuck my teeth up now

I can definitely get that! Skittles are my "guilty pleasure" (I am not much of a chocolate person) but I haven't had them in a while since I get the feeling if I tried (especially since we're just getting out of the winter season over here, and the cold temperatures make them really hard lol) I'd probably lose quite a few teeth by the time I'm done with a small bag of them...

Occasionally I'll have the gummy versions of skittles, but its just not the same 😮‍💨
