My Mind Is Scarmbled!

Between numerous dental appointments and trying to get A Matter of Death sorted so it makes sense, I totally forgot to post on Monday.

First of all, I'm fine. Except for the snoring. And the low-grade sleep apnea. But it's not bad enough to go for a CPAP. Honestly, I don't know if I could handle a CPAP. I can't sleep with air blowing on me.

It's only one of my many peculiarities. I have a lot.

So the sleep specialist handed me off to my dentist's partner for a mouth guard specifically for sleep apnea. It's a nifty thing that reminds me of a cross between my old retainer and my sports mouth guard. So they took impressions of teeth and created the device. Now, it's a question of fine-tuning it so I can sleep without dislocating my jaw in the process.

It's the first time I've EVER had a dentist recommend I chew gum. Sugarless, of course.

Then there's A Matter of Death. *sigh*

I got off-kilter somewhere along the way. Not panicking because I did something similar on A Modicum of Truth. I finally figured out the problem, and now I back on track. However, I put myself in a time crunch since I wanted to release it next month.

This will be a challenge, scary and exciting at the same time.

So, what are y'all doing this summer? *grin*

    1. Yay! You can post again!

      So far, it's comfortable to sleep with, other than the dreams of having a ton of caramel stuck to my teeth. LOL DH says I'm still snoring a little bit, but not like I was.

      The down side is when I take the thing out in the morning my jaw muscles and joints are stiff. It's the first time I've ever had a dentist recommend chewing gum. Sugarless, of course, in order to exercise the jaw.
