I know I don’t update often anymore, but really… I have nothing to update about. I might attempt to update more…? Eh. I think I only have a few readers anyway.

A few random things first. Adam (lead singer) has quit Three Days Grace!!! When I heard it on the radio I was like WHA. Apparently, he felt it was time to move on and I think it had to do with issues with his bandmates, or the record company. Adam has hinted at doing solo work in the future, so atleast he isn’t quitting music altogether. B-B-But they just put out a new album and were about to head out on tour!!! They got the leader sing of My Darkest Days to step in as lead singer for the tour. Let’s just say there is no replacing Adam’s voice. Ummm, speaking of entertainment! Let’s see. Been watching the new season of The Biggest Loser and CAN I JUST SAY HOW HAPPY I AM THAT JILLIAN IS BACK?! I love that woman, plus looking at the sexyness of Dolvett and Bob doesn’t suck either! Bones just started again for the new year and we watched the 2 hour premiere last night….. love that show. Fringe will END for good this Friday. SNIFF!!!!!! We’ll probably watch the 2 hour series finale Saturday. Waiting on the return of The Walking Dead in February, then looking forward to seeing SECRET LIFE and Game of THRONES in March!! Yeeee!

We have church meetings this weekend and I am going to go, even if Brad doesn’t want to. I think I tend to only do things if Brad will do them too and I have to take my own stance and do what I feel will HELP ME. Going to church meetings will help me grow!!! I can’t wait to go. There’s a meeting Saturday evening and one Sunday morning.

I’m still working on my sleep/morning energy. Here’s the deal. For the last few weeks I have been TRYING SO HARD to get to bed by 11-11:30pm, but when I do try for that… I’m not really sleepy. THEN, when I do get to sleep a little earlier? I ALWAYS! wake anywhere between 3-5AM and most of the time I just go back to sleep, but then I’m WAY sleepy when Brad wakes me up at 7-8AM, so then I just can’t seem to WAKE UP and lay around until 10-11AM. I hate it, but what I did for a loooong time was I went to bed at 12-1AM then got up with Brad and then went to lay back down at 8AM and would sleep until 10-11AM. I’m sure that had a factor into why my morning cortisol was low, as going back to sleep in the morning deffo wouldn’t help me um… wake up! It’s so hard re-adjusting. I got up this morning, ate a big protein bar then took my supplements and that seemed to keep me semi-OK energy wise. I seem to do better on a bit less sleep… rather than sleeping 8-9 hours. Or more. I even took a 20 minute walk on the treadmill this morning, to see if that would help give me some energy and so far… eh. However, like last night, I went to bed after midnight and didn’t wake up any throughout the night. Seems to work better for me.

Brad and I went through a little… um, rough patch recently. I don’t want to go into details, but we are working to be stronger together. In fact, last Sunday at church one of the Presidency said that we were directed to attend a Strengthening the Marriage class for the next few months! I thought… how ironic. Just when we needed it. =)

OK, so to the biggest news of allllllll. I got my first root canal later last year and was gonna get more dental work done, but going to a specialist for my root canal, crown, etc ate up my insurance… so now that it’s the New Year I went ahead and called earlier this week and made an appointment to finally get my teeth cleaned and see what else needs to be done. I went day before yesterday and they took all the x-rays and got my treatment plan! I have (had) 8 cavities, my cracked back tooth did need a root canal, and I needed the cleaning that required going under the gums a little. Not the deep cleaning like in intense cases, but between the regular cleaning and the intense one. They couldn’t do any work that day, since they were short staffed, so I went to start yesterday! Their machine wouldn’t process the debit card, so I had to (literally) run back to my neighbor’s and she had to take me down to the bank ATM to get the money. Shew. They took me back and the dental hygenist did the full mouth debridement cleaning then polished my teeth! That took an hour? I think? Then off to see the actual dentist to get all my work done for the upper right side, which included the root canal, 3 fillings, and putting on the temp crown. I endured FOUR hours of dental work, and I am soooooooo happy about it because my front canine tooth is now filled and WHITE! I cracked that tooth as a child, so I got it filled when I was younger, but time had worn it away and you could see the black and it’s always been so embarassing to me. NO MORE!!! I got some special mouth wash to use for a week, to help my gums and I just need to stay on top of my dental care! I go back in a mouth to check my gums to see how their healing, but I also go back Jan 31st for the real crown. I’m so thankful that I am able to finally get my dental work done!!!!!!! I’m thinking next year will be BRACES!

Well, I’m off to try to stay awake and entertain Katie a bit before lunch. Have a great day!
