July 16, 2026

Yesterday, I had a dentist appointment. It was for a crown replacement, so right now I have two temporary crowns. Ever since I got them yesterday, my tooth has been hurting. My tongue too. It keeps rubbing against one of the temporary crowns, and it’s all a bit of a mess. In two weeks, I’ll get the permanent crowns, which I hope will fix all these issues.

My Ordinary Companion

Gratitude Everyday

July 23, 2025

It’s been so long since I published a gratitude post. I like it when a post starts with “It’s been so long since…” because it feels personal—like catching up with a dear friend.
