I haven't written a Post in a while. I just needed something positive to say.

My routine has been steady lately. Sleeping well with crazy dreams, it's amazing how the lack of intoxicants can do this. I rise with the Sun, rinse my bottle with the hose, and let the chickens out of their roost. I think we've bonded.

Then I drink my protein shake, workout hard, eat shredded wheat with berries for breakfast and get a ride to work with Shelby or Dan.

I arrive an hour and fifteen minutes early, head straight to the indoor pool area, which I have to myself until 1100, and get my four S's in. I take my daily constitutional, soak in the hottub, sweat in the sauna, and take a shower.

Then I manage the big pool at the Purple Parrot for five hours. I treat the guests fairly and respectfully, they like me, and no outsiders ruin their vacation. I kicked five local teenagers out at the end of my shift yesterday, who had snuck in from the side like guests. People thanked me...

Then Shelby showed up to pick me up, with my old Trike folded up in the back. It's been a total fiasco, with an attempt to replace it with a new one, which was damaged in shipment even worse. Bruce, the downtown bike guy has managed to straighten out the drive shaft somewhat, and it's charged and waiting for me in the garage.

I've got three days off now, and I plan on replacing the daily Four S's with a couple rides to the store and the beach.
