Insomnia has its benefits

I don't know why I'm still up. Sometimes it just seems pointless to sleep...

LL is BUSTED!

I told KZ last night that I was going to join AA. For the wrong reasons. I don't think I have a drinking problem, and aside from New Years Eve, I can't even recall the last time I had too much to drink. Though, maybe the reason I can't recall the last time I had too much to drink is, because, I had too much.. But one tends to not forget the hang-overs. Anyway, I am well within my 14 drinks-a-week limit of acceptability. Oh, so I wanted to join AA to meet new friends. I have plenty of friends here, but most are work related. I've kind of lost contact with most the gays that I use to be friends with--though, the grapevine keeps me well informed of who is sleeping with whom, who is backstabbing whom, and I know who has which STDs! So, Friday night I thought long and hard about my fun days in Dublin, being out til the wee hours of the morning, doing crazy shit with HW (I called to make sure we actually DID the stuff I was thinking about), and decided that it was time to meet some fun people again. I'm sure people in AA must be FUN! Or at least have great senses of humor and good stories...

So, I'm trying to figure out if the whole 12 step process is going to be a tolerable cost to getting a new group of friends, when my pager goes off.

Ah-hah.
That's why I knew it was better to waste time on-line than go to bed. Had I gone to bed, I would have been annoyed by the page I received.

I'm the on-call doc for clinic right now. I just got paged about LL. The insult is that the page identifies who the patients primary care doc is, and LL's mom (he's 2) didn't know who his doc is. IT'S ME! Didn't know because they haven't been to the CLINIC in quite some time. He's missed multiple visits. It's like a sting operation! This is good stuff. He has a cold, and she pages me at 12:30 AM for a "fever" of 99.3. Perfect time to harass them to coming back to the clinic so LL can get his missed shots, and of course to make sure he is growing/developing normally.

And now back to searching for AA groups...
