Chasing the Sun

I’m sitting here listening to Karan Casey’s “chasing the sun” and smiling coz that’s exactly what we are doing up here in this plane. The sun is in front of us in the distance and below is a bed of clouds. Really cool bed of clouds it is so thick it seems that you can just step out of the plane and lay on them. Reminds me of a featherbed for some reason. Its all blue skies up here no grey stuff in sight. Oh drats someone is eating something that’s making me gag… smells like nuts! I’m allergic to peanuts and I notice that the very smell of it bothers me. The decent to Phili was long! In this small plane it feels dreadful… I forgot how long the decent was. Plane # 2 finally on my way to sunny Florida. Yuck this guy next to me is drawing with smelly permanent markers. The drawings are silly and the markers are starting to give me a headache. I wish we were landing so he can put the dreadful things away. Odd I think that our flight is a bit late its 4:15 PM and we were supposed to have arrived at 4:16 PM… Never mind 20 minutes until touchdown… I can feel the slow decent as my ears have started up again.

My New Preserve Toothbrush

I’ve been using an Oral-B powered toothbrush with soft cross-action bush head for some time but lately my gums have been a bit sensitive so I went looking for a manual toothbrush. I was already quite familiar with the other manual choices (Crest, Reach, etal.) but I didn’t want anything to do with any of those mainly because they haven’t worked out well for me in the past. This weekend, I decided to give the Natural section of the local grocery store a try. I’m fortunate enough to live in a place with grocers that carry a large selection of natural foods and products. A quick scan on the shelf revealed a toothbrush that I have seen before but never picked up… the Preserve toothbrush by a company called Recycline. They come in all sorts of colors; red, blue, eggplant, and white just to name a few. After a while of sorting and looking to pick a color I settled on the white which looks more like grey. It has a curved handle, a 45 degree ultra soft head, and the packaging can be reused as a travel case with holes for ventilations. The angle of the brush and head is what caught my eye but the best thing about this toothbrush is the ultra-soft head. My gums have never been so happy! They should be using this brush is like giving my gums a regular massage. My teeth also looks and feels a lot cleaner. I’m so excited about this toothbrush that I’m brushing my teeth a little too much b/c of the softness of the bristles… Compared to the Oral-B “soft” bristles my mouth feels like they have been floating on a soft cloud of late. Yah I really like this toothbrush and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a change.
