I just returned from the dentist with bad news... again. I have to go to an endodonic guy... the root canal that I need is too much, too deep... for my dentist to do. And when is this going to happen? Why, on the 2nd of July. That's a long ways away.

I was hoping that the cavity that I detected was a dropped-out filling from a previous root canal... but that was on my other front tooth, dammit. It's a real cavity, reaching almost to the nerve. The only reason that it isn't hurting is because it is no yet infected. Yipee! That means that it might very well happen in the next two months.

Enough of that... we had some neat thunderstorms pass through last night; I went to bed about 22:30 and they rumbled and flashed until about 01:30 or so, mildly disturbing my sleep. I got out of bed around 06:30 this morning, when everyone else got up. I'm afraid that this bodes ill for my chances of sleeping any more today, but I will try, ever the optimist...

Speaking of the basement... I really don't like it down here. Oh, it's OK when I'm home alone... but when everyone else is here I feel like I'm out of the loop... everyone forgets that I'm here, and just kinda ignores me. Even though I do like to pick the times that I socialize, I always feel like I'm missing out. For instance, when I was upstairs, Lacee would be going by and turn into my room and give me a kiss. Karen used to to the same occasionally. Those opportunities are gone... they (or me) have to make a special effort to get those kisses. And more often than not, none of us do.

And I still don't have all of my junk out of the room upstairs, although I've made an effort to carry something down every time I come downstairs... I guess that I need to make more of an effort then. The problem is... I would kinda like to organize everything, have a place to put it before I bring it down, not just stack it around. The problem is... I need to have it done by Thursday, when JD and Tyler arrive. They will need a place to sleep!

I'm planning on using them hard while they're here... lotta heavy work needs doing around here, and I'm just not up to doing it... or rather, I'm just a bit too lazy...
