Down Time

I'm supposed to meet with my case manager and counselor some time int he next couple weeks. Until then I seem to have a lot of down time on my hands. I have been spending it reading some books I got from the library and playing cards with a group of other outcasts. Mostly we play Rummy, Pinochle, chess, and various forms of Poker. Of course we only play for fun. There is no money involved. Some of the guys play tennis and racquetball, so once I get my shoes I'll be able to join in the fun. After my meeting with the case manager and counselor I will be placed on the job list and be able to start some educational courses as well. Until then, I'll just enjoy my vacation.
