During yesterday’s visit with Tom, I was telling him something that’s true, yet funny. They forced psych meds down my throat as a kid, but in this place, as an adult, I’ve asked for them, yet no one will give them to me. I can’t believe I survived 5 months in this place without any meds!

Teresa’s friend, whose name is Laticia, has been driving me crazy. She’s louder than hell and she’s been yelling back and forth to one of the juvies. The door to the juvi pod is right outside my door, and this juvi’s been coming to the door screaming back and forth with her. It’s totally loud, rude and obnoxious. I screamed at them for it, but they just don’t get it. Typical loud, selfish Mexican!

Garcia woke me up for God only knows what. Sometime between 3 AM – 7 AM I was startled awake by the sound of the key opening the door. I know that reflexively, I gasped and turned towards her. As soon as I did this she left. She left pretty fast too, and I don’t think she even took two steps inside the door. But what would she have done if I hadn’t been such a light sleeper and woken up so fast? And why did she come in here? I hope she’s on again before I leave because I intend to ask her about it if she is.

Marilyn was so right when she commented on how fast the time goes out there, but in here it goes so fucking slow!

Tom gave me the first letter of one of my Christmas gifts, saying it’s a tool to help me do something I like to do, but I can’t figure that one out. He said he didn’t want to give me the first letter of all the gifts, or else I’d guess what they were. That told me I might have a doll waiting for me, because if he had said the letter ‘d’, that’d be my first guess.

Got a letter from him today. His letters really keep me going! He said he may work from home every now and then. That’d be great!

He says he hasn’t picked out a new dentist or audiologist yet, but I don’t need an audiologist. I need an otologist to clean out this canal.

He says the peas and corn are doing well, but it’s too soon to tell how the others are going to do.

I may’ve forgotten to mention this, but yesterday I received the civil complaint papers, but it’s all Greek to me! I’m going to wait till I get out of here and do it with Tom unless I really do ignore the PO, which will be my decision. If I abscond I can’t sue Joe or expose the pig.
