I seem to be the only person in London still wearing a mask. Even though cases are rising rapidly again.
To be honest, I don't care anymore. I have spent 2 years reading about Covid and of course following all the guidelines and getting all the vaccines. But now, it's enough. I'm 48 years old, not old enough for a 4. vaccine. So let me be infected. Fine, I will deal with it. I take vitamin-D supplements, which might avoid me getting hospitalized and getting long-Covid.

Currently suffering the worst toothache I've ever had. I've already seen a dentist and have two further appointments, in which I'll have multiple fillings and other work done. The next one isn't until Friday morning, so I'm in pain until then (only slightly reduced with ibuprofen).
Total cost including the initial consultation will be £766.
I made the mistake of avoiding the dentist for 10+ years, and this is the end result. I won't be making that mistake again and will go every six months from now on.
*ouch*

Fillings.
Of which I had four. The tooth in the upper-right that was most painful has almost completely healed now.
Ibuprofen helped ease the pain.
Going forward, I've now started flossing every day.
I tried flossing a few years back, but found it really uncomfortable and difficult, so stopped. But I found these
handle flossers which are 100 times easier than just using a thread with your fingers, so I'm using those now.
An added benefit: you can apparently add 6 years to your lifespan by flossing! So I will definitely continue with that. Plus, brushing twice daily and using mouthwash as I've always done, and cutting down on sugary foods/drinks.

I have been using these too as i currently have to see the hygienist as i wasn't brushing my teeth properly for the last year and a half. They did tell me to use something else but i prefer them.

As from tomorrow, i am going to start reading again and get them out from under my bed. I will be reading instead of watching television in the evenings and days after and not at work by putting them on the Bookwyrm site by reviewing them.

Thanks guys, if it helps me (the pain hasn't stopped for the whole week), I'll be the most thankful.
