Here are some updates in Meg Go Run's world!
~ I quit biting my fingernails. ~
The last time I bit my fingernails was on the morning of October 31st. (That's 27 days!!!!!) A special thanks to my friend and reader, Susan, who suggested I paint my nails to help keep me from biting them. It's really been helping. Now that I have a streak going, I don't want to break it! (You know me and streaks!) I got some cute nail polish colors and have been having fun switching it up.
~ I found my wedding ring! ~
You may remember it fell off my finger at an improv show at Broad Mountain Winery. Guess where I found it? It totally fell in my purse! This is a purse I don't use a lot, so I randomly found my ring on Thanksgiving night when I was cleaning it out.
~ Operation: Stop clenching my jaw. ~
When I went to the dentist a few weeks ago, they told me they saw some signs that I either grind my teeth or clench my jaw. I told them that if I do it, I'm not aware, but I would try to see if I notice it. Well, soon after I left the dentist's office, I realized I clench my jaw all the freaking time! Since then, I've been very cognizant to not do it. But I feel like I'm sucking on the side of my cheek and holding my jaw in a weird way in effort not to clench.
~ I love you, Trazodone. ~
My Trazodone prescription to help me sleep has been working well so far. I'm having some weird dreams but that seems to be the only side effect. I hope it continues to work. Getting good sleep is really a game changer.
~ Karen is my girl! ~
After my haircut from hell at Holiday Hair, I got it fixed by Karen at Jenny's Salon. I loved what Karen did to my hair, so I recently went back to her for another haircut. I think I found my girl!
Tell me something going on in your world!
These are all such wonderful things! I am so happy you did stop biting your nails. "I always believed in you, Megan". And the sleep thing is super nice, too! I recently had to go to another stylist at my salon because of scheduling issues. I liked what she did so much better that I might have to "break up" with my old girl. I am not good at break ups! LOL.
ReplyDeleteOh no! How are you going to break up with her?? Text? Email? Phone? Face to face??? I mean, I guess it is a good problem to have... you found someone who does your hair even better! My nails are red now. The polish looked like a darker red in the bottle but it's a little bright. Oh well, for the holiday season it will work for a bit!
DeleteWhen I left Rachel to go to the Aveda salon I texted her because we had become friends. I have not become friends with Tiffany but I will write her a note and leave it for her when I am there next time.
DeleteWow, so many GOOD updates! I'm so proud of you for keeping the " no nail biting " streak alive! And of course getting a good night's sleep is just awesome, not to mention finding your ring. Good news all around!
ReplyDeleteYeah! I mean, I'm sure I could list 5 shitty things going on in my life right now too but I'm keeping it positive!
DeleteGood stuff here today! I am going to get my hair colored on Friday - first time since that lady ruined it. I am in sad need of hair care! Did the dentist recommend that you wear a night guard? Alan and I both wear them to bed. I've had mine for a long time now.
ReplyDeleteHe suggested the mouth guard if I notice I do it at night but I don't think I do. I hope you have a much better experience with your hair and you leave feeling beautiful! Having nice hair and a good experience to boot can really boost the mood. When I left holiday hair I felt like a piece of shit. When I left k aren I felt pretty.
DeleteI'm so glad you found your ring!
ReplyDeletemE TOO :)
DeleteOh yay! As I said in my earlier comment, I was hoping to find out that you found your ring... and you did! That's amazing!
ReplyDeleteI am also happy to hear that painting your finger nails helped to prevent biting them and that the meds are working!
