"Hello (hello hello.) Is there anybody in there? Just nod if you can hear me..."

My Vocational Rehab counselor's phone gave me a message saying she'd be in meetings all day, then off Friday for Veterans Day. I left a message asking her to call me back on Monday. So far, I haven't heard back from the Red Tail Rehab folks assigned to me.

Thinking about being laid off from Service Source last month reminded me of a Bloom County cartoon where Opus is crawling through the desert. He appears to be near death when he suddenly finds himself in the passenger seat of Milo's car. Opus expresses relief that his ordeal was just a dream. Milo tells Opus, "No, bonehead. *This* is the dream. You're still in the desert." Opus, once again awake in the desert, gives a "Well, phbbbbbbt!"

The bills I have coming due on Monday will eat up most (if not all) of that day's paycheck.

I decided not to do the dolphin swim in Cozumel since it would have taken at least an hour each way to get there. It's being held in Playa del Carmen while the Cozumel aquarium rebuilds.

Here are the excursions I'm signed up for:
FREEPORT: Catamaran and snorkel trip
GRAND CAYMAN: Stingray City and tour (Governor's house, turtle farm and Hell)
COZUMEL: Fun 'n Sun on our Beach with optional parasail

Only 33 days until the cruise!

Today I'll see both Dr. Laliberte (my psychologist) and Dr. Rosenthal, a psychiatrist who will hopefully determine whether I'm taking the right medications.

Yesterday I found a link to some twisted animated cartoon about a Catholic priest named Father Tucker. I think it's hilarious (although I'll probably go to Hell, and I don't mean the one in Grand Cayman!) If you're not easily offended by jokes about priests and molestation, the cartoon's at http://www.apocalypsecartoons.com/fathertucker/fathertucker.html
