Invisalign - DAY 6

I knew today was going to be a rough day for me. I was going to be on the set and there was not going to be a lot of time where I could have my aligners in my mouth. I spent the whole day trying to cut 'time' corners so I could make it under 4 hours with them out.

It didn't help that they were out for 1.5 hours for breakfast at Bob's Big Boy. Don't get me wrong, the "Big Two" was delicious and well worth the missing aligners, as was the Starbuck's Frappaccino (yes, that's right, you can keep your Starbuck's stocks...for now). Lunch would be better, I know it. Dedication was there.

Since we decided that this was our bad day, Domino's pizza was in our future for lunch. We could order it for delivery (and extra 30 minutes with my aligners in) and not worry about time until they arrived. That was using the noggin, right?

45 minutes later they were back in. What the...?!?!? I was not saving any time what-so-ever. Here is a little hint for future reference, don't eat pizza in front of the television. I don't know what I watched, but damn that show...damn it straight to Hades!!!

I knew they were going to have Subway subs on the set at 11 PM so I decided to nosh on some Triskets (Cracked Pepper - highly advised to be in your kitchen pantry) so 15 additional minutes put me at 2.5 hours. I don't know if the headache I was getting was from lack of healthy substance in my system or my single-handed self-destruction of loyalty regarding the Orthodontist's rules for Invisalign.

Long story short, on the set they were out for about 3 hours. Not a good day at all for Invisalign. Great day for acting, though. I guess that is a good trade-off, right?

Pain Level - 3

Dedication Level - 5 (not a good day)
