It's Over!!!

So, I survived my experience with the root canal. I took my "happy" pills as prescribed and felt very woozy, warm, off-balance, and generally kind of out of it. While I remained awake for all of the procedures, there was little to no pain. The worst part was the first numbing injection. After all was finished at the dentist's office, I spent the rest of the day asleep with my head on an ice pack to reduce swelling. I must say that I won't mind going to the dentist if all visits go as well as the last two. We've come a long way in making dental procedures much more patient friendly.

Now, for a personal complaint. I love the show "Scrubs" which is typically on NBC, but is not on the schedule for the fall line-up. As usual, NBC won't say exactly when we're going to have the new season start, but it will "hopefully be sometime this winter". Why is it that when one of the major networks actually puts on a funny show that people enjoy, they don't keep it on the air or keep it in a regular time spot? I guess I'm going to have to get my Scrubs fix from Comedy Central, which will be convenient since it's right before The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. But still, I find the current slate of TV programming rather abysmal, what with the racially divided Survivior, Dancing/Singing/Duets/ with the Stars, Big Brother, etc. Don't we have enough "reality" to deal with in real life without putting on stupid, non-reality shows at night? As a teacher in one of the most meth infested counties (and where apparently your neighbor has no qualms about stealing your new baby) in the U.S., I don't need any more drama. How about some good, old-fashioned entertainment?!?
