Healthy teeth

2) I've been horrible at flossing. I pretty much never remember to do it. Besides, after I finish brushing my teeth, when I normally would floss them, Sara is usually done getting ready for bed and waiting for me so we can do our evening devotions together. So flossing has not been a habit of mine.

2) When the lights go out, I tend not to fall asleep that quickly. I may feel tired while going through the night-time routines, but once we're done reading the Bible and praying, the lights go out, and the restful silence settles in, it seems like my body keeps going into "alright, what to do now?" mode, and my eyelids stop drooping.

Well, I recently had an idea to take care of both of these seemingly unrelated issues. I finally used my math major and put 2 and 2 together (indeed, the first character of this blog is not a typo, just a setup for a lame joke): I placed a roll of dental floss on the chest that serves as my nightstand next to our bed. Thus, when the day's over, and I'm mentally twiddling my thumbs, I simply reach over, grab the twine and floss all my teeth! It's been working great so far.
