really???

i have been sick more this year than i have been in the last decade...guess that is what i get for giving my people grief over calling in all of the time

my dentist gave me a new mouthpiece to keep  me from grinding my teeth (he hasn't a clue how determined i am).  I used to have what looked like a football mouth guard and i have almost chewed through it, at least i stopped taking it out in the middle of the night and finding it stuck to my forehead in the morning.  The new piece fits my two front teeth and is suppose to keep me from being able to close my jaws, now i just grind my front teeth. 

anyway, last night, my sinuses went between being clogged up to draining.  Every time i tried to blow my nose, nothing, but then i would wake up feeling like a white trash child with dried snot stuck to my nose.  I have been trying to keep the drainage from draining into my chest (i am always at high risk of getting bronchitis) so i would get up in the middle of the night, coughing and hacking, trying to spit this crud into the toilet without having to fish out my new $300 chipmunk teeth. 

on top of all of this, i went to the bathroom today and a thread from either my pants or my underwear got tangled up in the string of my tampon so i thought that it would be wiser to just pull the strings apart so that i could then change my tampon.  WRONG!!!  The string came out of my tampon with the other string and landed in the toilet.  I am at lunch with my husband.  I actually googled "how to remove tampon without string attached".
