My Tongue is Sore, and the Olympics ROCK

Day 2 of my braces, and man, are my top bands really rocking my world. In a bad way. I had sushi today and some salad, and the entire time the constant rubbing was really getting to me. By the end of the meal I didn't even talk, I just tried to keep my tongue nowhere CLOSE to the roof of my mouth. I know you get used to it after a while, but I cannot WAIT until I am.

I'm thinking about using the wax that the ortho gave me; apparently it helps in removing irritation. I am trying to tough through it, tho, and maybe my tongue will scar up something nice and all will be good! Regardless, I think it will make me not eat as much, so maybe I'll lose those 10 pounds I wanted!

Pictures will come as soon as I feel like posting them.

In other word, I'm watching the Olympics. I love the Olympics, and will dedicate my next 2 weeks to nothing but the Olympics (with a little work mixed inbetween). I think I am a fan of the Winter moreso than the Summer Olympics, just 'cause there are more cool things. I mean, curling?! And I love myself the speed and figure skating. My favorite has to be the skiing events, tho. Just seeing them fly down the mountain at crazy speeds is amazing.

Also, enjoying this opening ceremony. Not as explosive as the 2008 Beijing Olympics, but still good. I was sad to hear about the Georgian Luger who passed away from a terrible accident on the track today, so hopefully that doesn't cast a dark shadow over these games.
