Sunset Approaches

Sunset approaches
one solar day slowly fades into the next
the questions on my mind:
What did I do to make today better then yesterday?
What can I do to make tomorrow better the today?

As I listen to the sound of the air conditioner
whispering sweet nothing in my ear
cooling the hot desert evening
I wonder what joys tomorrow will bring.

I review the day
feel the weariness in my muscles and bones
give thanks for the blessings I received
and ask forgiveness for the selfish moments
which occur in times of heedlessness.

Today

I made two appointments today. One with the doctor to discuss the results of the lab tests. The other with the dentist to see if I can get something done with my teeth. I have a tooth that hurts off and on, not that I have that many teeth left in my mouth.

My appointment with the dentist in on June 30 at 8:00 AM. I chose a morning appointment because I'm off between June 20 and July 1 so I can have morning appointments. My teeth may be bad and they may hurt periodically, but I'm not going to take off and loose money because my teeth hurt. The don't hurt that bad any way. On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being the little or no pain and 10 shut your finger in a car door or broken bone pain. The pain in my mouth is usually about a 1.5 or 2. The pain in my knee on cold morning is much worse because it can get up to a 5 or 6.
