Tomorrow will be: roughly the same as today.
A couple months ago, I got an iPhone, like I wanted. Today, I dropped it flat on its face onto a tile floor, and the bottom half of the touch screen no longer responded. So this afternoon, Christmas Eve, I went to the Apple store at 5pm to try to get it fixed, realizing at the time how stupid and unlikely that was. To my great surprise, the store was open, mostly empty, and I was given a brand new iPhone on the spot. I took it home and connected it to my Macbook, and iTunes asked me if I wanted to restore my old profile. A short sync later and it’s indistinguishable from my old iPhone, pre-drop. It even remembered which websites I had open! It also had the pictures I had taken with the phone but hadn’t yet copied off of the computer. So now I love my iPhone even more because I don’t care if it breaks; the new one will be identical to the old one in every way.
Today ends week eight of my forty-eight week Invisalign treatment. I originally was looking at orthodontic work to correct the crowding on my lower teeth, and have been considering getting either braces or Invisalign for about four years now. I’ve talked to several dentist and orthodontists, and the ones who offer both braces and Invisalign have tried to persuade me to get braces instead. The main reasons they’ve pushed braces are that they’re cheaper, they’ll probably take less time, and they’ll be able to correct more things, such as my overbite. I decided to go with Invisalign instead for several reasons: vanity, comfort, convenience, and protection. Invisalign so far has been much more comfortable than braces were, especially since they don’t cut at my lips and gums like braces did. I can eat whatever I want, unlike with braces, since the retainers come off while I eat. And I grind my teeth at night, so the Invisalign gets worn down instead of my teeth. The biggest inconvenience so far with Invisalign is that I’ve stopped snacking, since there’s such a huge time cost involved with brushing my teeth before putting them back on, and I’m not supposed to have them off for more than two hours per day.
