Dear Waves,
I thought about you at work. A student asked me today to look into his eyes and check his contact! It was his first day wearing contacts and they did not feel right to him. I told him that he would get used to them eventually.
I have ceramic brackets on the top front teeth -- the look is less metally than a full metal mouth. The ceramics are more comfortable but feel bulky.

Dear Bizi,
Great suggestions!
Mac and cheese is too hard to handle at this point. Or else, maybe it is too hard to think about.
I need stuff that does not hold together.
Tonight I had refried beans, instant mashed potatoes, and some coconut milk ice cream -- when I start freaking about my health I start to lean vegetarian.

Talking is hard.
I had a much harder time teaching today than I thought that I would.
