It's beautiful and sunny. Insofar as I shouldn't let 'outside forces' affect my emotional state, I can't quite feel giddy. I started off the day with an 8:00 am dental appointment. A month back, after my last tooth cleaning, I discovered I had chipped half of a back tooth. The thing is I must've eaten it as I didn't even know until my tongue felt its sharp edge. My dentist wanted to do a root canal and crown. Of course, she did. That's her job after all. I merely settled for filling it in. Even as leaving, I discovered that we owed hundreds because my insurance only pays up to the equivalent for silver fillings.After leaving the office an hour later with a numb face, I drove to BCIT. I have a new class which starts on Monday. It is not the one which I usually teach, but I should be grateful I get any after departmental restructuring. I had to dust off some old materials I had previously used and photocopy things so I wouldn't worry about them this weekend. I needed to renew my staff parking permit too. Because of my contractual status, I cannot be put on wait lists to park near my office. My classes are scheduled on the opposite sides of campus. I ended up in the big lot that is far away from everything.
Okay, that's clearly enough bitchin'. I hardly ever succumb to a litany of woes. Really I am very lucky. I am very happy with my life and I have no substantial reasons to support this bad attitude. So, I am going to get back to thinking positively about things. Even the weather is cooperating at present.
