Today was a busy day.

The day started at 6 am when the alarm woke me as it usually does at that time every weekday morning so I can be off to catch the bus to work. But, today, I also had a dentist appt. at 720 am.

I decided the best course of action was to go ahead and head into work at the usual time, upload my time from the previous week into the main computer from my PDA, then take the work van the 2 miles to the dentists office so I could get onto working as soon as I got done with getting the temp. crown. I took an early lunch to accomodate this.

This all worked out fine and good after I got to the bus stop. I did oversleep a little, and was late by about 3 minutes to the stop, and the busses DO actually run on time. The saving grace was there was a substitute driver....so I made the 625 am bus at about 629...about a minute after I arrived!!

So, yeah, I now have the temp. crown on my tooth. The procedure was mostly painless, and lasted almost exactly an hour...the back side of the temp crown is rough, and I have to THINK about not rubbing it with my tongue. The dentist did do a great job, though. I'll have the perm. crown in about a month.

My work day after the appt. was pretty busy. I work as a heating and air conditioning tech. for the county, and I had some maintenance on some roof top HVAC units to do today...in the wind, snow , and rain. It was kinda miserable, but it's miserable in July, too, as the sun beats the hell out of you. The only GOOD times in the HVAC trade is really spring and fall...when the temps are bearable, either way, though, I do love my career it has served me pretty well for the last 14 years, I just wish all of those years were with the county. It's a great place to work.

I arrived home after another bus ride and found the mail was delivered as I entered the front door. I took it to my wife, as the mail was mostly addressed to her this time. She opened a bank statement and blew a gasket as the bank once again, did not credit her account properly. She called and yelled at(literally) the agent on the phone, and now she is gone to her bank to either get arrested or close the account...or both.

The night ahead will be a relaxed one. I will be watching President Obama's address in about an hour, with a good feeling that I will be watching someone who can actually put 2 sentences together, and won't be on TV selling a fraudulent case for wars.

Then I'll eat dinner and get ready for tomorrow.

That was my day, how was yours?
