So the past week was an interesting one. On Monday, I had my last dental appointment to finish cleaning up the damage after my crash. I got a crown on my #10 tooth. Before two weeks ago, I had no clue what the #10 tooth was or even that I had one. Now I know, it is the canine tooth just to the left of the big teeth in the middle. On my first appointment, my dentist ground the center tooth flat and now it looks good. However, the one next to it was damaged too badly. It was broken well beyond grinding and even beyond bonding. The only savior was to grind it down and put on a crown. Despite not having any dental work until I was in grad school, now I have huge crown. On the bright side, I don’t look like a hill Billy anymore. While it looks great, it feels just different enough to be something to play with my tongue when I get bored.
What I truly appreciate about the offseason is it gives me a chance to do all the things I really want to do while I am training. After a few weeks of normal yoga, we (Charisa, Kin’dra and myself) decided it was time for something new. On wed, I made my first attempt at hot yoga. I know yoga has more specific names but I don’t know enough about them to differentiate. Either Joanna or Charisa found Yoga Tropics in Encinitas and we were off for hot yoga. Unfortunately, I got caught in traffic on the interstate and I was running late. In the chaos, I forgot my towel. Wow this was a huge mistake. After about 5 min, I pulled off my shirt and was sweating like pig. I can’t tell you how hard it is for me to do a balance pose. Now add the difficulty of being supper wet and I really struggling. Fortunately, the instructor found me sitting in a pool of sweat about ¾ of the way through and gave me a towel for my own safety. After an hour, it ended. It is a strange feeling when it’s over. You are dripping wet and feeling gross but at the same time really relaxed and clam later in the evening. We hope to try it again next week for another round of stories.
