I had to visit the dentist today for my bi-annual cleaning. I don't really enjoy going to the dentist, although I'm not sure anyone really enjoys this necessity of life. The anxiety leading up to the visit, the visit itself, then the guilt that you feel for not brushing well enough. And, to make matters worse, I have a cavity. I never get cavities. I think I've had like 5 in my whole life. Ugh. That put me into a really rotten mood, nevermind that it's supposed to be 95 today, and near 100 both tomorrow and Wednesday.
Speaking of the heat, our daughter is heading off to summer camp tonight. Last year, she attended camp during the absolutely hottest week of the year. On Thursday last year (1 day before the camp was over), she got sick with dehydration because she wasn't drinking enough water. This year, we've had a couple of hot spells, but unfortunately, it's setting up to be one of the hottest weeks of the summer, again! I remember my camp days attending Boy Scout camp, way back when. I don't remember the heat bothering me too much, but let's just say that sitting in sweltering heat, with no air conditioning at all doesn't sound like much fun at this point in my life. Maybe I've just gotten old and spoiled, but that's the absolute last thing I'd want to do. Oh well, hopefully she'll make it through this time, but I'm betting even money that we get a call later this week that she's sick with dehydration. We'll see.
