As you can probably tell from the title, this is not a happy post.  I mean, it was a fine day and all, but it ended with a bit of despair.

My smart breakfast held me over nicely through my 1st 2 hour class; oats for the win.  I was ready for lunch by the time we reached break though.  Mostly because I knew in advance how darn good my sandwich was going to be.

1 slice of 2% provolone and 2 slices of Applegate Farms Honey and Maple Turkey on a  toasted Cinnamon Raisin Bagel Thin.

The turkey was delicious and the sweetness of the bagel totally made the sandwich.

I also packed a baggie of baby carrots but they were so slimy I couldn’t even eat them.  Thankfully my friend Rachel realized that we were burning through our glucose stores cramming for the exam and she bought us Rochers.

Got to keep that brain powered.

I also bought a caramel apple frozen coffee.

But it was disgusting.  I’ve had the drink before and I know it doesn’t usually have a strong aftertaste but it was too close to class time to get back in line so I just threw it out 4 sips in.

I used both of my breaks to study today and the test ended up going ok.  Not as well as I would have liked, but I probably should have studied in advance for that!  I don’t want to do “ok” this semester, I want A’s!  It is worth noting though that I finished our 77 question exam in 17 minutes.  I’m a test speed demon.  <– that was with checking everything twice

I had to stay on campus after our test was over and I was starving.  I turned to the vending machines for sustenance.

The dietetics’ building’s machines actually have some healthy options, but Clif Bars are $2.50 and honey mustard pretzels are $1 so you see how that went.

My late home-coming was because I had a job interview at 6pm (fingers crossed!).  I think that went really well but sadly then the evening took a downturn. 

I ate my pretzels at 5  and then didn’t eat anything else so I was still starving.  The important point there is that at 7:30 I hadn’t eaten in almost 3 hours; that’s a key detail.  I came home and cleaned up the remains of the husband’s shoes (thanks a lot, Webster!), took the little monster on a walk, and was just catching up with Adam when I felt something in my mouth.  “I think I chipped a tooth.”  Adam told me to shut up – it’s possible I’m paranoid about my teeth and it wasn’t like I was currently eating anything – but did get out his otoscope.  And, confirmed; I chipped a tooth!  I chipped two teeth last year using my old retainers but tonight I basically cracked one of the previously chipped molars in half.  Ouch!

We had to cancel our hot, crunchy dinner and we also had to go buy Adam new insoles so while we were out we picked up Subway for dinner.

I got a 6inch veggie sub with pepperjack cheese, lettuce, tomato, red onion, lots of pickles, and yellow mustard.

And I also scarfed the last quarter of Adam’s tuna sub.

Eating was a little painful, but no worse than hunger pains or a day without veggies.  Bleck.

Have you ever chipped a tooth?  Any food suggestions (or warnings) until I can get it fixed?
