Tooth Extraction Eve

It's All Hallow's Eve aka Halloween, but it is also Tooth Extraction Eve.  Tomorrow afternoon I have an appointment with the dentist to get the pesky tooth finally removed.  Surprisingly enough, I'm not all that nerved up about it.  I know the dentist will numb me up good and will also give me some good pain killers for the after party.  I just want the pesky tooth out.  I'm almost ashamed to admit that I waited too long after I took the antibiotics before I called and got the appointment to have it pulled, because just in the past three days the infection has started to set back in.  

I called the dentist yesterday morning and asked if he wanted to call in some more antibiotics for me to take so they would have a chance to work until my appointment tomorrow afternoon and he said no, for me to just be there at 3:30 sharp.  And that I will.

Stay tuned. 

File Under: WTF?

It's been another crazy WTF day here.  Now, all of the neighborhoods and official cities are changing Trick or Treat to tonight since there is heavy rain in the forecast for tomorrow.  

All I can say is back in the day, we didn't let a little thing like rain bother us.  

I'm really scared for my future with these young folks being in charge of things.  

File Under: WTF?

I've read so many crazy posts from friends on Facebook today, all I can say is truly WTF? What were you thinking?

Over and out. 

Hogzillas - beware

During the course of my day today, I saw not one, but four ground hogs out and about.  I'm very disappointed that more people aren't out like us, trying to get rid of those pesky varmints.  

Stay tuned. 

What A Not So Great Day This Turned Out To Be

I just got home moments ago from a meeting at church, only to hear the news about a deadly shooting at a synagogue in Pittsburgh this morning. 

I've been thinking for the past few months about officially closing Good Shepherd Security Consulting because I haven't had any paying clients in years.  But today's news has changed my mind, and I'm going to keep on keeping on.  

It's not really about the money - sure, I like when I get paid for my consulting services, but truthfully, if what I do can keep one church safer and more secure, than it's all worth it. 

What A Great Day This Turned Out To Be

This morning's ride to work was Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.  It was misting, slightly foggy, and my wiper blades were beyond help.  As soon as I pulled out of my driveway, I just said Jesus take the wheel.  

On the way home from work I stopped at an O'Reily's Auto Parts and got some new wiper blades.  I sprung for the deluxe Rain-X edition, as was recommended by several coworkers.  I paid the blades and turned to leave the store, when the twenty-something (or possibly younger) clerk asked me if I would like for him to put the blades on.  I told him heck yes.  And it took him longer to open the package of blades than it took for him to put them on. 

He went on to say that he enjoys helping the customers by putting on wiper blades and installing batteries, while the older clerks just want to stand behind the cash register.  

As soon as I got home, I called the store and spoke to the manager and put in a good word for this kid.  His mama and daddy sure raised him right.  

We Had To Go To Work Again Today

Our office pool had ten bucks worth of Powerball tickets for last night's drawing.  We didn't get anything back.  So that's the end of our office pool for now.  

As for me, I will be buying Powerball tickets for myself for Saturday night's big drawing.  Yep, you already know I'm a gambler. 

Stay tuned.
