We're heading out early tomorrow for my first doctor visit since the Tennessee vodka suicide debacle. Shelby's coming along because she knows and distributes my meds, and she knows what went down across those recovery places that I have absolutely no memory of.

She doesn't talk about them much so I'm looking forward to learning about that time in my life.

I haven't signed up for the gym yet, too busy working out here in the Cave and doing power walks around the neighborhood.

I've been getting really good at spotting those dark cloud formations that love to dump downpours on this town, and I can cut a power walk or a dog walk short when I need to. They haven't caught me yet.

Update: Shelbs just reminded me that this is not my first doctor visit down here, that I had a cute Latino lady doctor for a bit in Tampa. I kinda remember...
