Really, Really Sore

As in, hurting sore. I had a "perio-maintenance" cleaning today at the dentist and this particular hygienist was really rough and quite brutal, I must say. She said, "Bear with me" a couple of times, meaning get ready for she was about to rock my world. That was 9 hours ago and I am still sore! The whole situation pisses me off. I have great, healthy, huge teeth (thanks, pater familias) with no plaque but I have major gum issues. I brush twice/day and floss every night thanks to the pain of having forked over $800+ for my periodontal surgery last year. I've even started using a mouth rinse too. Only to find out that I still have issues that I should not be having, post-surgical year?!? I am P.O.'d!

Enough of that. I had a really great meeting today with the Chief, the Major, and our attorney. The new Reserves office assistant and a fellow Reserve deputy who was just hanging out sat in on the meeting too. I have everyone's 100% support. They are all going to help me accomplish this goal of getting my documentary film made. I am going to open up a bank account into which we can deposit any donations. The Major has contacts for fundraising, etc. The lawyer tweaked my release form for me. Then we all watched the trailer, which they liked. (Though the Chief and Major had issues with something one of my interviewees, another Major, said and they said they would prefer I remove that quote--not sure if that means I HAVE to do it, or if they were just expressing their opinion?! Mudflap said he loves that quote and apparently even the Major in question tried to defend himself with the Chief when they discussed it. I defended it to them too, reminding them that this is just the trailer and the film will flesh things out and wipe away any concerns they have. Hey man, opinions are like assholes...)

Tired and sore, about to leave Job #2 and go meet up with S at the Mezz. Maybe I'll feel like chewing some potato skins. Great weekend though. S had Sat. AND Sun. off so we had a fun family weekend, went to the pool, went to watch Jaws at Auntie R.'s house, Father's Day spent at the movies, watched El Mariachi with the director's comments, and I managed to transcribe 1 of the 4 interviews. It would help if I had someone to pause the DVD while I concentrated on typing; picking up the remote, pressing Pause, then picking up the remote again and pressing Play takes up valuable time! But, Robert Rodriguez did it all himself, so I can too.
