Bummer. The 3rd shift DO asked for the nail clippers back. Oh well.

Mary told me she doesn’t mind being in a big cell, so if worse came to worse, and they absolutely have to have my lower bunk, she said she’ll go in place of me so I can stay here, then I’ll jump up to the upper bunk.

Yesterday I went to Dental. The dentist said my teeth looked good, and another 4 months without the retainers wouldn’t hurt (this was before I knew I was getting my retainers, although I disagree).

On my way back from medical, Limon, the coolest male DO, let me swipe a towel from a pile they had of clean towels. Now I have two again!

Bergman, the degenerate scumbag that threatened me with my visit over my shirt said, “What were you doing out in the hall dressed like that?” as I entered M Dorm (I didn’t have my shirt tucked in). I just ignored him, but once again, and lucky for him, I have things to lose or else I’d have told him to mind his own fucking business, jacked him up against the wall, and pummeled his face beyond recognition. He can shove it in one nostril and blow it out the other!

“You’re supposed to have your shirt tucked in!” he screamed as I entered the 200 pod.

No shit, you bald-headed mother-fucker.

I had to go to medical again today for refills on inhalers. I saw Rosa and Carolyn there. There was a really nice DO named Espinoza working there, too.

I didn’t yet mention how I finally got my retainers. I told Tom to just go ahead and bring them in during a visit, deciding that maybe the wrong DO was on when he first tried bringing them in. Sure enough, they went right through this time.

It’s in the evening now. I took a nap after dinner and got woken up when Kahn came to get Mary for her visit, then again when the fucking juvi next door had to go on another one of her fits of screaming, laughing and banging. This place would be a lot more peaceful if it weren’t for her.

I’ve been sleeping really weirdly, although I’m still pretty much on the same schedule. The night I came over here I was up till 9 AM! That’s because I was all wound up, although for once it was in a good way, because of Palma and how everything was suddenly going well. Two nights ago I slept on and off from 2 AM-noon, but last night I only slept from 6 AM-10 AM.

I was outside today for the first time since I got here. They have recreation periodically, but it had always been before I was up. Since I was already up, I went with Deanna and a girl named Marilyn. We sat in a small enclosed area that was all concrete. Deanna and I laughed about how she helped me get out of the big cell.
