In a few short hours I will have to muster up some courage to brave the interstate and then I will be on my way to Auburn, Alabama to see my psychiatrist. I am expecting business to be as usual with me as far as us carrying on with my current regimen of pills goes. Mom offered to go with me, but I told her to stay at home and rest. You should have heard the sigh of relief on the other end of the phone line. I don’t blame her. I don’t want to go either. It is a very long drive.
I am not going to waste such a long drive on just psychiatry alone, though. I have to get some books for mom at the bookstore. I also want to go by the Suzuki/Honda dealership and get some prices on motorcycles. I am growing very excited about eating chicken fingers for lunch at Jim Bob’s chicken fingers. I am going to bring home a few plates for the dogs as well.
Mice or Steaks…
I have whittled down my selection of gifts for my birthday coming up in just a few days. I told mom that I wanted the same thing as last year.
“Groceries?” she asked.
“I want some steaks and things I usually can’t afford,” I told her.
It was that or a wireless keyboard and mouse like I got George for Christmas. I’ve used George’s computer a few times lately recovering him from virus hell. The technology has come a drastically long way compared to the wireless mice and keyboards I used several years ago.

sounds like your making it a fun road trip...glad to hear your doing so well...
Maybe you should research your area back roads and avoid the interstate altogether. My husband and I drove to South Dakota from Florida and only drove about 150 miles on interstates the whole trip! Back roads always seem much more interesting to me - and I never mind taking the extra time to see the scenery!
Hope the doctor will reinforce the fact that you are your own man now and that your dad is no longer in charge of your life! I think you know it - you just may not fully believe it yet!
You're doing great, my friend!

One of the best Christmas gifts I got this tear was a gift card to the grocery store. We were able to stock up & buy extras we wouldnt normally get.
If you have to make a dreaded trip, good to build in some fun stops to make it go a little bit better and faster. Hope you get both for your birthday, wouldn't that be great? Look forward to hearing how well your meeting with the doctor went.
I've been away for my birthday the last few years and like it that way. There's always a let-down feeling about it for me, and then there's having to say I'm a year older. I don't like that one bit :)) Now if I were to get a new iPad I'd like my birthday a whole lot better!
Hope everything goes well with your Psychiatrist Andrew....Those Steaks sound pretty good ..YUM
