Because if you can’t feel anything while you chew your food, you might accidently start gnawing on the inside of your mouth while you eat. Without knowing it. Except that for some reason your teeth don’t seem to connect the way they usually do. And is that blood you taste? Then it dawns on you (along with the awareness that this is not you’re brightest moment) that you’re chawing the inside of your lip. Hard. So you go to the powder room & turn your lip inside out to check in the mirror and ooooooh yuck.
(Yeah, I was at the dentist this morning. Drilled & filled. More to go, too, but we’re working on it a little at a time . . . )

“working on it a little at a time . . . ”
That’s both the good news AND the bad news, sounds like.

Yeah, well really it’s all good news, because I’m buckling down & getting it taken care of.
The powder room?
I was trying to be delicate :-)
