My final substance abuse appointment was more like a social call. It was very pleasant. She was very happy that I will be going to the club and thinks it will be good for me. Apparently she likes to attend some of the events they hold, and she still wants to attend a DRA meeting once they become more organized again, so I will keep her informed. She's going to finish my paperwork on Saturday and mail it to drunk.org the same day. I will also get copies in the mail.

I hope when I get the copies of my driving record I'm able to use them for both trips to the MA DMV (within a 30 day period), but I don't know how fast or slow the process will work once the NH DMV gets my completed file. I think it makes sense to request my driving record once the NH DMV gets that.

I took an early nap when I got home from my appointment. I'm glad I did because I had so much to do in the kitchen. After I put the corned beef in, I had to carve the rest of the chicken I roasted Wednesday (for wraps today) to make room in the fridge. Then while my corned beef was cooking, I made coleslaw. Peeling the onions, carrots, and potatoes are a bit of work, and so is trimming and cutting the corned beef. Then making the hash and doing the clean up afterwards is a lot of work too. Corned beef is one of Rocky and Buddy's favorite foods so they get a little obnoxious when I take it out to cut it. But it was all worth it… dinner was wonderful and we will have excellent leftovers already prepared that are completely different than the boiled dinner. I slept in a little this morning.

I have an appointment with my PCP today. I'm not looking forward to it. He's going to lecture me about the accidental OD. I know that the ER doc believes it was accidental and sent him a note, and I have taken steps to avoid that from happening in the future. I hope that helps.

Rocky's been hanging around the bathroom this morning, continuing his studies on how the toilet works again… he hasn't done that in months. They all go through phases of where they like to sleep and what they like to do… they just crack me up. They do some weird things sometimes.
