It's been a relatively stressful few weeks. My trip to Portland last weekend, while enjoyable, was not relaxing. There was a lot of walking around and quite a few blisters as a result. So yesterday after a visit to the dentist (for root canal and crown), I stopped by my Grandma's house. As we sat in her front room talking (everything from family to politics), I noticed how actually totally relaxed I was feeling. The house was very well air-conditioned, the chairs were comfortable, and there were no computers. I'm going back out there today (when I had originally arranged to stop by), and am quite looking forward to it. It will be nice - again - to step away from it all for a bit.
On Monday I go back to the dentist to meet the hygienist. While the bill for the root canal/crown is actually far more terrifying than the event itself (during which I watched The Matrix), I worry now that the visit with the hygienist will be worse than the bill for it.
Amuse yourself with watching some Daily Show videos, particularly the well crafted debate between Presidential Candidate George W Bush (2000), and President George W Bush. The 180 degree turnaround brought about by the September 11th attacks is amusing (if disturbing) to watch as it plays out in debate format.
