dentist appointment was at 8 in the morning. i somehow made it. i wrote about getting braces back in feb 2024 — almost two years ago to the day. it felt so weird without pointy metal wires glued to my teeth — and so freeing to finally take them off. one unexpected thing was the dental nurse scraping my teeth like it was an unrelenting stain on the floor of a public bathroom. i felt so uncomfortable. overall i'm glad this season of my life is done, but unfortunately my treatment was not 100% complete — there is a gap from my lower teeth being too bent inwards. so i might have to start invisalign in the future.
stayed at the hotel literally the entire day after that just working, taking meetings. was also feeling stressed about contract and money involved in my move. i felt a sense of pressure to get it right, because it is a big move and i want to feel secure about it
