It's been a tough week. I was supposed to end the holidays by coming home last Friday from being out of town, enjoy some down-time with my cats, get grocery shopping done, etc before going back to work on Wednesday. As some of you may know, that did NOT happen because I came down with a nasty bug. Started off "innoncently" enough as a sore throat - which I hate the most, out of the sickness symptoms - which progressed to nose congestion and a love/hate relationship with a fever.
Thankfully, the sickness is pretty much gone, all that's left is some lingering congestion and amazement that only a week has passed since I got home, yet I don't have much to show for it except a trash can overflowing with used tissues and thermometer sheets. Well, and clean laundry that I did yesterday, since I was finally feeling better.
Today is my first day back at work. It's my Monday and my Friday at the same time! Then it's a three-day weekend. But I'm glad I came in - a lot to catch up on since I left last year (well, December 21st, but it's funny to say it like that).
So what is my rant, exactly? Today. I'm taking my lunch break, and when I pulled out my top tray it was HURTING! The left side for some reason is sore. I am more than halfway done with this tray, so I don't know why. The only thing I can think of is I flossed yesterday (which I have been MUCH better about than before Invisalign, though slacked a little this week thanks to the sickness), and one of the gaps bled a little. And my teeth/gums/whatever haven't bled due to flossing for a while since I've been vigilant about it. Perhaps I wasn't paying attention and maybe I pushed too hard? I don't know. All I know is it's a bit sore and I don't like it!
Hopefully Tray 6 will be better...
