Teeth Whitening and Room is Coming Along (July 28, 2023)

I had an appointment in Whitecourt at 9 am this morning to get my teeth whitened.

I was up early and had a coffee then I headed there.

Here's a before picture of how my teeth were looking.

A zoom in so you can see the before color better.

Getting this blue thing in my mouth was a bit difficult but we managed.

It really gave her a good view of my teeth and gums.

She had to cover up all my gums and fleshy parts so they didn't get burned by the whitening gel.

My mouth is really packed with napkins.

She did a great job covering my gums up.

Then it was off to the races.

She would cover the teeth with the whitening gel then put the light on it for 15 minutes.

Then she would clean off the gel and repeat the whole process.

She did it four times.

My teeth are sensitive so I was expecting some pain but I had none at all.

I was freezing though - I had to tell her and she got me a blanket and brought a little space heater into the room for us (she said she was cold too).

And for the last session, my head was getting really sore so she gave a pillow and that helped so much, I wished I'd asked for it sooner!

Then it was all done.

They do look much whiter.

I'm pleased with the outcome.

It cost me 500 but we got extra money in our health care spending account at work and I'm hoping it will be covered through that.

I left there and went to do a bit of shopping.

I had a few things I wanted to pick up to finish off Freya's room.

I didn't have a whole lot of luck finding all of the things that I wanted but I did get a few things.

Then I headed over to the Rotary Park to go for a run.

I wanted to run 5k and ended up running 6k.

It was hard but it felt good.

The exercise details.

My average pace and splits.

Always feels good to finish up a run.

I did a bit more shopping after my run then I picked up a sandwich from Tim Horton's for my breakfast/lunch and headed home.

I went over to Kody's and washed all the stickers off of the bed - there was some paint chipped off in places so I painted those up then I started putting a few things into the room.

I hung up the bookshelf that I painted.

I had a hard time with that for some reason, I was using wall anchors and I was trying to hammer them in but they kept squishing on me.

So I ran over to the hardware and bought some metal ones that you screw in and those worked much better for me.

I got the curtains put up then I also brought this little cube shelf in and added in the pink cubby's that I picked up.

I thought I needed 6 for some reason when I actually needed 9 but I just used some baskets she already had to fill in the other 3 sections.

I also glued some shelf liner to the back of the book shelf I'd painted and got that brought into the room.

I took the drawer pulls off the dresser and took them home so I could spray paint them black.

Then I got the bed brought in and put up.

I think it's coming along really well.

I need Jason to cut some wood pieces for the bed so the box spring will have something to sit on and then after that all I really have left to do is make the bed and get the pictures put up.

It was after 9 when we got home again and I worked on getting the rest of the frames done.

I'd picked up the rest of what I needed today so I made molds for them and just spraypainted the molds themselves.

I'll let them dry overnight then glue them on tomorrow.

I also spray painted the drawer pulls.

And I got all of the pictures put into the frames so they'll be ready to go in the morning.

That's all for today, until next time, be happy!
