Monday September 14, 2009

     6:19am  We woke up at five thirty with seven hours of sleep. We just figured it out counting on our fingers. I crashed upstairs in the empty frathouse on the floor in the TV room. T slept on the couch. We don't want to miss breakfast. We have a whole hour to chill. We're all stoned, waked and baked. I am totally glad I remembered I had that weed. I gotten hooked up with it the other day at Reefer Beach and I hadn't smoked any of it. That was a good day for storytelling. I was blowing people's minds left and right. Every day is like that.

     8:26am  T and I woke up early and we took a long walk to breakfast to 3:16, some Christian place. We walked by this badass skatepark they have here. Then we walked to the Salcido Center where I was able to stash my external frame pack in their locker room. I'm only hauling my backpack and water bag. I came to the Poverello to talk to the nurse and get the ball rolling on me finding out if I have herpes.

     10:32am  Nurse Marcia, she was real nice. She looked on the sore of my penis and everything. She took some blood from me and is going to send it off to get tested. I should have my results on Friday. It's being tested for Herpes and HIV. All for free.

     11:25am  I had an awesome presentation with Monica. Beautiful girl. I took her picture. I'm glad I found somebody to tell my story to until lunch time. Oh yeah, I have to wait until one to see the doctor.
                    
                     The doctor was real nice too. I forgot his name. He looked at the sore on my penis and went ahead and gave me a prescription for Acyclovir, to treat Herpes. My blood test will show exactly what I have.

                     I walked down the alley to the Partnership place I went to yesterday and they filled my prescription. I'm supposed to take three pills a day. They gave me enough for five days. They're just to treat symptoms like reduce pain from sores, but since I don't have any pain on my sore, I'll start taking them tomorrow.

                     I walked in the Partnership place and they directed me to the pharmacy for my script. I also told them about how I had a filling in my tooth and after three years it came out some months ago. I told her my old line, "I don't want a complicated root-canal, I want a simple tooth extraction. I have plenty of teeth." She told me to show up at 7:30am tomorrow morning and they had a walk-in dental clinic and they would be happy to yank my tooth for me.

     2:02pm  I came out here on the side porch of Partnership and I was trying to make a cigarette out of snipes in the ashtray and Annie volunteered me a cigarette. I appreciate it, Andy. Everybody gets credit. Thanks a lot.

                     I finished up at the Partnership place. I've got my Herpes pills, only five day's worth. I'll start taking them tomorrow morning. The nurse at the Poverello also gave me some cream to help with all the itching.

     3:23pm  I came to the Salcido drop-in center, but they were still using the den room where the computer I rather be on is. They told me they wouldn't be that long so I found a book to read called Unlimited Power. I had just started reading it when T walked in. I asked him if I could use his laptop and he was hesitant because last time he let me use it I left it unattended. I assured him I wouldn't again, that I had hours of work to do on it and he let me use it. So here I am right now typing this entry up off-tha-brain. Time to make HTML files. After I install MS Frontpage. Break!

     6:52pm  I am leaving the Pita Pit. I filled up my bag with ice and got water.

Next day..
