After a delay due to my persistent cough, I finally got my Invisalign. It feels weird to have around your teeth but it isn’t painful. The only issue was taking off the bottom ones when needing to eat. With my short fingernails and small mouth, the bottom Invisalign was hard to pull out, so I went back to the orthodontists to get a aligner pick to help with that. I ended up breaking the aligner pick but fortunately I already ordered more online, which arrived later that day. Also I found it easiest to lift the bottom Invisalign from the front, which means I can still use the broken aligner pick. I can only take it off for 2 collective hours a day, so I had to rearrange my eating and teeth brushing schedule, though the orthodontist said I can have some wiggle room with an extra hour or so. I’m settling down with its presence now, so hopefully I can get back to my hobbies and passions. 

I had to pause writing during that week because learning how to take on and off the Invisalign took a lot of time. It’s annoying to have more missed writing days but I’ll get around to making them up eventually. I’ve been going at a good pace with the second draft of the latest We Will Hold On Forever chapters, so hopefully I can resume that on Monday. With my adaptation to the Invisalign, I might resume writing sooner than I thought by restarting writing original fiction this weekend. I’ve lately been going back to writing Tales-style skits of my original characters interacting, to get a feel for their personalities and how they might interact. I experiment in that style when I have spare time but I like it and will continue doing it when I can.

That’s all for now. I’m glad to finally be over the persistent cough that had been dogging me since mid-January. Needed one larger dose of a med I usually take for it, though it had to be on the third try. Hopefully, I won’t have to deal with that again for a while. Until April’s end, see you!
