i don't even know what to write this time

so i guess it's going to be some random thoughts.
1)i have, i'm sorry to say, no idea of how good my father is at his job. i mean, he never seemed to have trouble staying where he wanted or moving to a new hospital if he wanted that too. like with matoon, we only spent a year there and he didn't seem to have a problem getting us out. so there's something to be said for that. i have never been under his medical care, and even if i had, i haven't been to enough doctors to be able to make a comparison.
i bring this up because i have grown to HATE going to the dentist this last few years. i had two bad dentists in a row in lawrence and then in mt. pleasant. poor chair side manners, long, drawn out visits, and very -very!- stingy with the novocain. with my recent tooth troubles i went to the dentist that is the father of one of the students in my school. like my father, he is a alum of the university of michigan. he knows english well enough to have a sense of humor, he has nifty gadgets to explain what he'll be doing, and bet of all: no pain. i've been in for two of five visits for a root canal, and the only pain was from that first needle. the second visit only took 10 minutes! so my thought process is that if UM produced this guy and my father- i hope my father is as far beyond other surgeons as this guy is beyond other dentists.
2)i wouldn't even be writing this if it weren't for the fact that i am in the middle of a 4 day weekend (kid's day). i'm basically using this as an outlet for my boredom. i'm going to put it in writing so i do it: today i will have to pick up my apartment; it's starting to get a little rank.
3)also, today and tomorrow, i'm kinda looking forward to going to the gym during the day to see what it's like- though i do have so reservations as if i can time the end of my work out to coincide with the start of the yoga class, which just happens to be right in front of the treadmills and is usually filled with hot moms trying to stay hot, i find enough inspiration for another 20 minutes of working out- everybody wins.
4) a haunted house made for easter instead of halloween would be fun to make.
