Dentist mean

susandennisI am a phobic of all things medical and avoid them like the plague (guess that's one of the world's worst puns). But, I'm also not a big fan of pain. So I will go to the dentist if I have to. About six weeks ago I broke a tooth and while it does not hurt now, I'm pretty sure that a fair amount of pain isn't possible in the near future if I don't get it fixed. So tomorrow morning - 7 a.m. - I have to go in so he can look and tell me to come back in X number of days so he can torture me and charge me a fortune for the pleasure.
This does not put me in the best of moods. And, since even when I am in the best of moods no one would ever confuse me with someone kind and caring, this is no time to be offering up stupidity to check my tolerance level. So I get an email from a friend of my sister's. (This is the sister - my only sister actually - with whom I do not get along ever.) This woman I have known since she was in the 5th grade - that would make it about 40 years. She is a very well respected university professor and lawyer and a royal pain in the ass.
She sends me an email tonight and starts off by telling me that she first sent me an email to my eskimo.com address. Ok, I have no had an address at that ISP for more than 6 years now. Secondly, if she already sent one there, why is she sending me another one at another address? And her note says she found my website because I am an expert in toilet training cats. If she found my website, why couldn't she find my email address which is pretty much plastered all over it? And why couldn't she read the first paragraph in a fucking box on the first page of the part about toilet training cats which says that I failed at the project???? Why isn't being stupid against the law?
I'm not sure I would have felt any more kindly towards her without the dentist looming over my head but I'm using the whole dentist thing to be bitchier than usual. Because it's my journal and I can. Then end. I'm going to bed and hopefully will have the dental thing behind me before I am even fully awake.
