Well if you knew it was Monday, then you knew this song would come, but it's really appropriate.
Monday at Camp Lost in the Ozone, is really the hardest day. On Sunday night you leave the rehab to attend an AA meeting either in Austin, San Marcos or Wimberley. Sunday nights they usually went the further-est for some reason and you usually got back to rehab at 9:30 pm and then had wrap up. So you were up late.
They hit it hard on Monday mornings and keep you going at a brisk pace all day. You are really pretty tired by the AA meeting that night and again on Mondays they left rehab for a meeting elsewhere. This was my first Monday in rehab and I was having a hard time keeping up with the pace of the day.
Funny thing about when they took us away from rehab. The RA's would never tell us where we were going until the bus had left the property. They didn't want the patients to have time to call a drug dealer and meet up with us at the destination. Kind of funny, because we were chaperoned pretty well at all times, don't know when you could really get a drug deal done. The other thing that was funny was we could tell where we were going by the time that we left the property. If we left at 7, we were going to Austin, if we left at 7:15 we were going to San Marcos and if we left at 7:30 we were just going to Wimberley. It was a game and I guess we enjoyed the laugh.
Another funny thing about leaving and going to outside AA meetings was that I always got shotgun when a certain new RA was driving. They said that they were just taking care of the old guy and let him ride up front. The truth was that this RA scared the hell out of us a few times and nobody wanted to sit upfront.
Another sidenote, the boys usually went in one van and the girls in another van. Didn't want the boys and girls mixing up too much. Well towards the end of my time in rehab, we had a lot more boys than girls, so they usually picked out the 3 or 4 oldest guys and let them ride with the girls.
Oh well, rehab is rehab and you don't ask too many questions because the answer to those questions is usually, "just because".
