I’m pretty certain I have figured out what’s been up with my lip and tongue. My upper lip sometimes feels “swollen” and my tongue has been feeling like I sipped a scolding hot beverage… plus I can’t taste properly and sometimes I have a metallic taste in my mouth. I searched online and turns out it’s burning tongue syndrome. Guess what the probable cause is? YUP…. hormonal imbalance! I’m also thinking what’s mainly been aggitating this situation has been the antiseptic mouthwash I use every day. Yeah, I can see how my already messed up tongue + BURNING mouthwash can certainly make it worse! Also read spicy, hot foods and cinnamon aggitate this. Guess what I ate not long before reading the article? A hot bowl of oatmeal WITH cinnamon. D’oh. Yes, my tongue did burn afterwards and It still does a little right now. I feel certain that If I cut out the mouthwash and lessen my hot food and intake of cinnamon then I will see good results as my hormones attempt to get back in place. It’s all a waiting process.

MY GOODNESS. It was quite COLD last night so I shut our bedroom window and had to put on my thermal PJ’s! We also slept in this morning too, woot woot. I got up and stayed in my PJ’s for quite some time before getting dressed for exercise. Brad left around 12:45PM to go renew his driver’s license then go work on our car again with our church friend at his house. I’ve gotta go to a church meeting this evening and then tonight after Katie’s in bed we’ll watch last week’s episode of One Tree HILL since I forgot about it! We finally watched new episodes of BONES and FRINGE! Awesomesauce!!!!!! Also CANNOT WAIT to see the new episode of The Biggest Loser tomorrow night since they FINALLY started posting the new episodes online the next DAY instead of a week later!

I’m hoping to hear more news about Mom today.
