I think that one of my wisdom teeth is impacting, or the root is growing out of my gum, or something. This means that I’ll be seeing the dentist. I’m not particularly excited about this idea. Although most dentists these days are well versed in pain elimination, there is one way they can always make you flinch, scream, and throb in agony for days later: they hand you a bill.

I have no health insurance. My bills are paid for in cash. Stupid, yes. I could probably find a policy somewhere that would help me out, but I am pretty lazy when it comes to those things. At my age I should probably start looking at life insurance as well. Why can’t we live in a country where all of those basic necessities are taken care of by the government? Doesn’t it seem kind of slimy to you folks that the same people we pay for insuring our health and well-being are the same ones we pay to insure our lives? There has to be money to be made in this business, or else no one would want to do it. I’m not convinced that there is anything altruistic about the insurance business.

I’ll keep you all posted about the visit to Painless…

I have been so busy the past 2 days. On Friday I drove my mother and sister to the airport. They are visiting my aunt (my mothers sister-in-law) in West Virginia and will be coming home on Wednesday.

So, I have the house to myself…

I’ve been busy, really. I’ve been busy goofing off in a large way, but without any mind-altering substances. I’ve been sleeping late, staying up late watching movies, and watching movies whenever I feel like it. It’s a real escape from the living-with-someone lifestyle. So as a result I have neglected my blog, and my reader(s), who, I am sure is(are) concerned. No need, all is well in Somewheresville.

Sweetie Pie is adjusting very well. We have taken some long walks together and she is getting the feel of the place. I find it interesting that the choice snoozing spots for her are not the same as for the late Miss Kitty. In fact, they are the complete opposite. I’m thinking that this has to do with old smells and whatnot. I’ve made the decision to stop giving her thinned milk. She wasn’t drinking water at first, but I figure when she gets thirsty enough, she will have to make the plunge. I hope that this is not a sign of something worse, like rabies, but I think the vet would have discovered that.

Gotta run. I have a pie in the oven and stuff to do, or not to do, as is my wont.
