Just an update, nothing snazzy

I just realized it has been almost a week since my last post, so I thought I would say hello to everyone. (As an aside, a fly just landed on my computer screen, and perfectly centered itself lengthwise over the right hand border of the text box I am writing in. It seems like that should be significant somehow.)

This week has been acceptable, but nothing particularly note worthy. I have weird allergies that are the worst right after a cold snap, so they went a little nutso last weekend, and then I had a "re-root canal" yesterday that pretty much knocked me down for the day. I am still a little out of it today. On that topic, I *would* like to say that there should be some cosmic rule DIS-allowing things such as "re-root canals". Root canals in general don't phase me anymore, but this one, while not painful (yaaa modern medicine), has been a lot more sore after the fact. I think it probably has to do with getting all the metal out they put in the FIRST time (grrr). Anyway, my face isn't noticeably swollen today (yaaa), so hopefully I won't look like a freak at the wedding this weekend (a friends, definitely not mine, you are not that out of the loop. :) ). Thank goodness for health and dental insurance. lol.

A somewhat amusing thing did happen to me last night. I went swimming as usual, and when I was done made a "dash" for the locker room (and hot tub). Since the pool is heated swimming when it is 60 (or colder) isn't a big deal, but getting OUT of the pool in such weather is rather chilly. Anyway, I went to go inside, and found that I had been locked out! I live in the building directly next to the pool, so you wouldn't think this would be all that worrisome, but there is a 7 ft fence around the pool, and the only entrance/exit that doesn't set off an alarm is the ones to the locker rooms! Luckily just as I was getting ready to call the emergency maintenance number for the complex I thought to look around the corner of the building and see if anyone was coming or going, since many people use the weight room at that time of night. It happened that some people were, so they let me in. I have to say they found it rather amusing. Probably equally amusing as the idea I was swimming in such chilly weather. Honestly though, there is nothing like swimming under the stars, rain or shine, warm or cold! :) Sadly, the pool will close on Monday though, so tonight is likely my last night to swim outside until Spring. Until then, back to the athletic club! (ewwww).
