Grateful for the gate staff at the airports last Thursday, and today: on both days, the airline staff at the gates were able to get me seats on a flight leaving 5 hours prior to the flight Iād been scheduled to take. (It is so nice to arrive at your destination five hours earlier than planned. It is also nice to have saved a chunk of money by buying the cheapest tickets - which is why I had these six-hour layovers - so I have been lucky with my air travel this week!)

Sleeping in as it took me forever to fall asleep.
It warmed up to 42 degrees by the time I got a chance to go for my walk

Managed a mini nap but it seems like the day just flew by and I didnāt want to sleep so late as I am hoping to get some sleep tonight
One day closer to Halloween
Got my grocery shopping done. Found my vegan chocolate chips on sale at the grocery store
My brother is ok with hanging some of my artwork / photos that Iāve acquired over the years at his place so I donāt have to get rid of those

Was going to PM you but thought this may be useful for someone else as well.
The splint I am using is called Silent Nite.
It is used to help with snoring, sleep apnea and TMJ issues. It shifts your bottom teeth forward so that it keeps the jaw some room. With TMJ Iāve lost most of the cushion cartilage between the jaw bones so Iām constantly grinding on the nerves when I move my mouth. You then have a separate mouth piece (an impression of your teeth in a relaxed closed position) that helps you readjust your jaw in the morning.
Do check with your dentist to see if this would be a good fit.
I got the one below first and it lasted almost 6 months. I did break the gliders 4 times during that period. Now have a sturdier plastic (hopefully wonāt shatter as easily) and metal gliders and finally got better bands too so Iām not going through them every other day. The bands are only needed for the metal gliders.
Hope this helped

Grateful for all of you.

Oh for sureā¦Iāve noticed that the clicking and jaw locks have lessened with this and the headaches arenāt as intense. Wishing you luck with it. Also ask your dentist for TMJ physical therapyā¦Iāve got a referral but havenāt started it ā¦ supposed to be super helpful

Iām grateful for you all.
Iām grateful I finally got some coffee. Had to make it a double espresso but at least itās coffee.
Iām grateful Iām probably going to be too busy babysitting my granddaughter and might not be able to be around much.
Iām grateful for this gratitude thread that has been the foundation for my recovery.
From AI if you google gratitude in recovery.
Gratitude is an important part of recovery from substance abuse or addiction because it can help people:
Regulate emotions: Gratitude can help people counterbalance negative emotions like shame, guilt, and remorse with feelings of hope and wellness
The list is pretty long too.

Wednesday gratitude.
Iām grateful coloscopy is over and I still sleep off the anaesthesia.
Grateful we treated us with delivery from our favourite poke bowl restaurant for lunch and my best friend stayed for a while until I went to sleep after lunch.
Iām grateful Iām flexible and patient as due to illness some appointments this week must be rescheduled when the people are healthy again. Iām grateful I protect myself as good as I can by wearing a mask when meeting people indoor and using public transportation and washing hands and face regularly. People became careless after Covid came to stay and donāt give a shit if they infect others with whatever they carry around: colds, influenza, noro, covid, RSV, pneumococcus ā¦
Iām grateful my townhouse is warm and cozy, I feel sleepy, dizzy and sometimes cold. Iām grateful I stay another night here and have no hurry tomorrow morning 
To be honest I move from couch to bed now and will be sleeping again before itās dark. ODAAT
