Andy has to work a double shift. He won’t be home till 9:30 PM. He left a message saying he’ll just come home, run around in his Batman cape, come home, go to bed, then get up for work and start the whole process over again. He said his whole Halloween is shot down the drain.

I sure hope no trick-or-treaters knock on my door tonight. Or anyone else. Mary and I discussed the fact that we don’t want Moon Shadow outside with the trick-or-treaters. Especially kids and all those satanic psychos. Holidays tend to bring out psychos. Especially Halloween. I heard on the radio that if you have a black or partially black cat, you should keep them inside. Black cats go with Halloween just like witches, ghosts and goblins and candy corns do. Soon, I’ll call Mary and she’s gonna keep Moon Shadow till late tonight. Moon Shadow no longer likes to visit other tenants like she used to. Mary said as soon as she comes into her place, she wants out. I always have a hard time putting her outside. Except for when she’s got to go to the bathroom. It certainly is nice not having to deal with the expense and foul smell of litter boxes. I’m on my patio now and so is she. She’s sound asleep now.

Later...

I still have lots to write about concerning Stacey, probation, and other things. I had a little scare, but now I am so much more relieved. I spoke to Tammy earlier and it was like a big weight lifted off my shoulders with what we discussed. She confirmed what Andy, Randy, Kara and Dennis said.

I spoke to a Mike M at the Compact Services of Paroles and Probations. Compact Services deals with people coming from other states like I did. He scared the shit out of me at first when he told me MA had no right to send me here. He said that if I was a resident here to begin with, went to MA, got in trouble there, then returned here with immediate family here, I could reside here. So, he said it’s up to MA to either leave me the hell alone or extradite me. I told them Arizona can refuse me all they want, but meanwhile, I was given written permission to come here. I’m here and I’m staying here. He said it was out of his hands and to call MA.

The day before this talk with Miller, both Andy and I were called into the office to meet with Stacey. I’ll get into that later as Andy’s getting out of his work clothes and is gonna be calling any second.

Later...

I just had a really nice chat with Andy.

I just realized I haven’t seen Mark since I moved. Never ran into him on the way to the mailbox. He may not even know I still live here. It’s been nice not seeing him anyway.

It’s amazing how time flies. I’ve been in this apartment for 3 weeks now. Also, I’ve been in Arizona for almost 5 months. I moved to the 163 S. apartment on the 15th of June, but June 9th and also Oct. 9th were the days I got here and to this apartment. So there are two days on the 9th that are good dates to remember. And the 27th that just went by.

Moon Shadow’s asleep on my bed with me while I write. Earlier when I was writing on the patio, she was crashed out there. Then, she crashed on my bed with me while I watched the shows I taped from last night. Then, I brought her to Mary’s. Mary was saying how she no longer likes to stay there and I guess she didn’t want to be there tonight either. She was growling as I brought her down to Mary’s. Mary was gonna call me to go get her later, but I just opened the door about 15 minutes ago and there she was. Mary never called and obviously, Moon Shadow didn’t want to stay with her.
