Lately I have been doing things that I think are pretty good for me. Trying to take better care of myself, and also getting ready for the future. Today I went back to the dentist. When you go the sedation route you have to have an appointment where you fill out forms, and pay for everything. You are pretty well sedated before you even hit the door. The night before you take 10mg of diazepam, and then you take a different sedative in the morning when you wake up. When you get there they give you a third drug to make you more or less useless as a human being. The nice thing is that you really don't have any memory of what they had to do to you. In this case that is a good thing. I am having a scaling and root planing in all four quadrants. This is why you should all make sure you go to the dentist more often. You don't want to do this. I know I don't, but my appointment is for May 31. I know that is kind of a ways away, but that is the first time they had an opening that I could get a ride for. Obviously I will not be driving to or from the place. I feel like I made a good decision, but I'm a little nervous, and I was hoping I could get it done sooner.
In other interesting news I decided to spend a chunk of my tax refund and buy myself a new laptop. I am not sure what I am going to do with my old desktop, but I'll figure it out. I'm considering installing Ubuntu on it, and having it as a dual-boot machine. It's a pretty nice computer, but I am still getting used to it. Yes I am typing on it right now.
Next weekend is Easter, and that means that I have to work.
The following weekend is the St Louis Open, and I have four solid rounds of disc golf to play over the course of two days. It is kind of interesting in that there are four different course that I will have to play. I renewed my PDGA membership, and now I am ready to play. One thing that is nice about playing in a tournament like this is that they have a players pack, and I pretty much will be getting back my entry fee in free discs, and stuff. There is also a good chance that I will do well this year. Lately my play has been really improving, and I feel pretty good about it.
