Friend
My ex-girlfriend, Julie, is in surgery today. she was in an automobile accident over a year ago and her back and neck need some work. She has been in pain for a long time. No sooner did she get diagnosed after the wreck, than she found out she was pregnant and they wouldn't touch her because of the anesthesia. It is major surgery. She is very upset over it. I haven't called. She is remarried and it doesn't seem appropriate. I did ask Natalie to tell her I'm preying for her.
The last I heard, she was groggy and on her way to her mother's place to recooperate.

Dentist
I had to go to the dentist this afternoon. Saturday evening, just before Nat came over, I flossed and a crown came off one of my back teeth. I managed to corral it in a baggy. I went to the dentist this afternoon and it seemed to be pretty easy to get it glued back on. I caught myself flirting with the dental hygienist/assistant. Actually, I think she is more of a dentist's assistant than a hygienist. I'm not sure how things work. She does everything except the actual mounting and drilling of teeth.
While the tooth was out I noticed how yellow it looks. It is the same color as the rest of my teeth. When I smile, they don't look that bad in the mirror. They are not pearly white or anything. The tooth was nearly the same color as the skin in the palm of my hand. I need to get some of that whitening toothpaste.

Hitting on Natalie
I am pretty bad at flirting.
Natalie was driving around, showing me her old apartment complex, when I asked her a strange question. I didn't even know it was coming. I asked her "Can you drive with one hand?"
She shot me this look like what the hell are you talking about? She stammered a bit and answered "ya."
I said "Because I want to hold your hand." and I took her right hand off the wheel and held it in a most middle school fashion on my knee. She didn't seem to mind.
