i am that mask you wear

I had a weird experience the other night while lying in bed before I went to sleep.

So, I have an extremely wobbly upper left molar. The dentist has said he wants to leave it in for as long as possible, since it wasn't causing any major problems, aside from being wobbly.

Well. It got to the point where I was getting really frustrated with it, and intended to ask him to pull it the next time I had a check up.

Okay. So. I'm lying in bed, scrolling on my phone before I go to sleep a couple of nights ago, and I sneeze. Just once. And then I feel this thing in my mouth, and I'm like, "WTF is THAT!"

I spat it out, and it's my wobbly molar. Did you know molars are really frikken big? And it was just there, in my head? Well, I mean, it's not now. It's sitting on the end of my bath because throwing it away feels wrong, but keeping it feels weird. So it's just there, in bath-shaped purgatory for now.

Luckily, the whole thing came out, which is good. But the dentist has said my teeth are in good condition - it's my gums that are the problem.

So yeah, that was a thing that happened!

Other than that, I have been binge watching Kathleen Illustrated on youtube, because I was looking up thrift flips (because I am in my Customising Clothes Era) and she was the first person I watched, and I latched onto her because I dunno. She seems like a fun person!

Also! She is a Scorpio, and in one of her videos, she posited designing a t-shirt with the relevant constellation on, and I sat there, mouth open, because how had I never considered this for myself??? I love shit with my starsign/constellation on! I have a glow in the dark constellation I made myself, and Famfrit's Esper symbol* ON MY LIVING ROOM WALL because I love that sort of thing so much (and also FFXII, but we knew that anyway ;) ) I have bought notebooks in the past because they have Aquarius on them! I bought a necklace that says it, and also a bracelet. I am such a sucker for that shit!

But how did I never consider making a t-shirt with it on?? After all the t-shirt ideas I've ever had, as well!

Oh well, something to do in the (very near) future! I have an eye test coming up, so I'm going to have a root around the charity shops in town afterwards to see what I can find vis-a-vis a t-shirt to do something to :D

I don't think there's anything else to say right now. I'm currently sitting here on the second day of a migraine, feeling very slack jawed, so if there was anything important to say, it has been lost within the folds of my brain. I think maybe I just need to sit and be still somewhere.

*I also made the Famfrit artwork myself, scaled up from a .png of the symbol, and then coloured with watercolour pencils in blue and green.

I often have dreams in which I wake up and sit bolt upright because in the dream my teeth feel out, and I often think they have actually fallen out and have to feel to make sure they're all there, or I might spit thinking I need to spit out the broken tooth. So when you said "dental stuff before bed", I thought you experienced the same thing, NOT that your actual tooth actually fell out! That had to be a startle! I hope your gums improve so you can keep your remaining teeth.

Constellations are cool. When I was younger, I had a prominent set of beauty marks on my arm in the shape of the Cassiopeia constellation, which delighted me. They've faded with time though, and moved a bit. I love the idea of doing a shirt with your sign's constellation on it, that'd be neat! Also, I *am* going to knit Celestarium one of these days.

Gentle hugs re: migraine. I hope it goes away soon!
