additional excuses for lack of sleep

It was foretold that there would be a partial solar eclipse as the sun rose this morning. Last night the weather forecast was for rain, but I didn't want to miss the chance, so I got up and wandered outside. Rain, no kidding. Back to bed, but I don't think I re-slept before getting up to catch the bus to Tai Chi.
The night hadn't been very restful anyway. Years ago I used to wear a night guard on my upper teeth, to prevent grinding. I wasn't convinced at the time that I was grinding to start with, but I wore it for quite a while. Then I had some new crowns and it no longer fit. I did without for a long time. My current dentist recommended an over the counter one rather than charging me hundreds of bucks to make it, which is what the previous one did. I bought the kit weeks ago (I went for Oral B - there were many choices at the drug store). Yesterday I finally made it. It fits pretty well, although it might be a little loose. The instructions would have been start over, but I am not ready to do that yet. I don't remember how long it took to get used to it the previous time, but it didn't lead to solid sleep last night. I had forgotten that by morning my teeth feel hot, but when it happened again, I remembered.

Pertinent

Earlier this week I was following news of the disastrous wildfires in South Korea.

The deaths were distressing, but I'm me, so I was also destressed seeing the picture of the cracked Gounsa temple bell. It is sad that a nationally historic temple burned to the ground, but the bell upset me more than the building.
Then this morning this popped up in a Duolingo lesson:


I only know the word for forest fire, not wildfire, but close enough. The dictionary informs me that a better translation would be "residents lost homes" rather than the more general "people lost homes" that Duo used.
