Beach Treasures

I find treasures when I walk on the beach. I try to walk everyday, and take my wife with me. Today, she had a doctors appointment, so it was just me and Brindy. Now, Brindy is our not-too-well-behaved-pitbull (yeah, that's a special breed. I am just no darn good at getting dogs, or anyone else, to mind me!!). It's hard to walk slowly and scour the beach for shells and such when you've got the pup, because she wants to sniff everything, and God forbid another dog walk by and we not run over and play!! But, most days we find stuff on the beach. What we like to find (read: the wife) is sea glass washed up on the shore and ground down to a smooth, oddly shaped finish. Clear is okay, but green is good, and blue or red glass is rarest of all. Today, we just found a couple of pieces, but I found a little toy soldier, I'm pretty sure it's a Decepticon. I seem to find little toy soldiers a lot in the sand, I think I'm going to make a piece of art with them all. Ok, I think this is pretty good for me for one day, so I'll go try and be productive now.l

Yeah, so much for blogging every day!!

I don't think I've ever made it an entire week at one time! Anyhoo, since last time I was on, my Mom and aunt came out here, my daughter graduated from high school, and I got another 30 day token. We'll see if it takes this time. I may be ready.....

Welcome to San Diego

My mom and aunt are here to see Ashley graduate from high school this Friday. I'm happy to see them, Mom especially. Last time I saw her, I wasn't very nice. On another front, I have 30 days tomorrow, again. Maybe this'll be the last time.

Dang it, I keep forgetting to blog!

But, I'm gonna try and be more consistent. I'm coming up on 30 days, again. Hopefully, for the last time. Man, it's killing me going back to Phase I in Drug Court all the freaking time! Anyhoo, it's late, and we've gotta be at a 7:30 am meeting in the morning.....

progress not perfection

So I get called in to the counselors office today at Drug Court. Close the door, Arturo says. I have a positive test for you. No F*cking way I say. It's for Vicodin he says. No sh*t, I say. You know I take Vicodin. Well, I thought you were gonna cut it out. I reply, yeah, unless I really need it, and this weekend I really needed it. Well, I just have to inform you, that's all. I cannot begin to express how much this bothers me. I am prescribed this medication by TWO board certified neurosurgeons. Yet still, they try to tell me what's best for me. I'm sick of it. I have every right to take my medication, yet still this jackass control freak tries to tell me what I can and cannot take, just to get his rocks off. Things will get better, it's not that big of a deal. Get over it already!! I'm trying, I'm trying...........

Friday

Well, it's Friday, and since I am back in phase 1 at Drug Court for a month, I'll be going to court every Friday until I am phased back to 4th phase. I should be in aftercare by now, but hey, nobody's perfect. However, I will not be messing up any more, at least by getting positive tests. OK, I really don't have much to say today. Started physical therapy yesterday, and my whole left side hurts. It even kinda hurts to type, so this is it for the day.

I keep forgetting that I have this blog!

It's hard to keep track of my comings and goings if I never write! So, I'm on the way to my first physical therapy appointment, kind of apprehensive about it. I'm on day 14, hopefully for the last time. Anyhoo, just wanted to check in. I will be updating more regularly, so I'll let ya know how the p/t goes.
