i feel like i always try to use toothbrushes as metaphors and that's kind of weird.

it was the first time i practiced all summer. these three all resonate with me right now.
my brain is buzzing.

i cried for about an hour today because the dentist called to tell me that i would have to wait two weeks to come back to her before i could go to the specialist to figure out what we're going to do permanently.
(i'm literally making it sound like i don't have teeth or something. my teeth look 98% identical to how they were before all this happened. i'm not walking around without my two teeth or something, which is what everyone in my family keeps imagining.)
soon after, i finally brushed my teeth - with a new toothbrush i'd bought right before this all happened. and i expected it to hurt - i expected this new toothbrush to feel rough and make my sensitive, sensitive gums bleed.
but it was so gentle. and it felt so, so nice.
i wasn't expecting it at all.
