This is what you get when you convert 102 degrees Fahrenheit to Celsius. This is how hot is was today in Phoenix. For those of you that are not from Phoenix you may be wondering what this feels like. Or perhaps you are from here and have moved away and you're feeling nostalgic.
Let me help you.
The next time you have a hair dryer nearby (any will do, really), turn it on and point it at your face.
That is all.

Breaking Up With the Dentist
Has anyone ever fired anyone in the medical profession? I did recently and it felt fantastic. My dentist is no longer employed by me. I think not enough people remember that medical professionals are not immune from the firing process. They are being paid to perform a service. You should not have to cater to them. It should be the other way around.
My former dentist's office, like most that I know of, requires a patient to schedule their next cleaning six months in advance. I sometimes don't know what the plan will be for the following week as far as my schedule goes, but I go so far as to make a leap of faith every six months and schedule an appointment. The last three appointments I have made with this office have unceremoniously needed to be rescheduled--by them, not me. Perhaps they decide they want to close the office that day (as has happened on two of the three occasions), or some other lame reason.
Needless to say, I received a call from the lady at the front office informing me yet again that they would need to reschedule the April appointment I made in October. So I did something I've never done before.
I broke up with the dentist.
I actually said "I don't think this is going to work anymore."
It was quite liberating.
I have since found a new dentist and look forward to beginning my new relationship with them soon.
