It’s supposed to be up into the 90’s again today, making it an official heat wave. And we all know how I feel about that. But it’s supposed to cool off for the weekend, so that’s good. As for the weekend, I’ll be kicking it off right by having a tooth yanked tomorrow afternoon. Apparently it was too infected to pull yesterday, so I need a couple days of antibiotics to keep me from getting blood poisoning. I’m looking forward to having the damn thing gone, and am promising myself to be a good boy from now on, and get regular dental care again. My goal is to have myself in relatively decent shape (tooth, blood pressure, and weight-wise) in time for my 50th birthday. I’ll start drinking beer again when I retire.

My new Kindle is supposed to finally be delivered today (I have my doubts, though; it didn’t leave Memphis ’til 3:00 this morning). I signed off on all the contingencies, have my mortgage rate locked in (3.875% without points; I remember when 8% was considered ‘fantastic’), so this will probably be the last non-house related purchase I’ll be making for a while, now that I’m about to saddle myself with untold debt and endless repairs on my little fixer-upper out in the country. If anybody has a used plow truck for sale (cheap), let me know.

Oh well, time to go.
