This last week...

1. I went to the dentist this week for the first time in a while (yay insurance...). I got the deep cleaning special. They had to do half my mouth on Wednesday, and half on Friday. Having only half a clean mouth was such a weird feeling.

2. My firm has a community softball team; we played on Wednesday, and I got a kick out of our game. We lost badly, but we all supported each other. But each of us was mourning our lack of ability--that was what I chuckled at the most, I think--that we all said each other did just great, but we each were so hard on ourselves. I think I was the most justified...I can't even throw from home plate to the pitching mound (anyone want to teach me how to throw?).

3. A duck blocked me in the intersection this week. I honked at him, but it didn't even ruffle his feathers. He finally waddled into the next lane, letting me squeeze by.

4. I went hiking on Saturday. I stayed mostly unburned, except for the backs of my legs. The fronts of my legs didn't get burned though.

5. I think I have motorphobia. If, that is, motorphobia can loosely be translated as fear of being run over by a semi.  I'm not the only one who dislikes driving alongside a semi, but in the last month or two I've caught myself tensing up when a semi pulls up behind me...I just wait for it to plow me into the car in front of me. Anyone else feel that?
