It’s over! Yes, I had the test and it was a piece of cake. That’s because, by the time we got there, I had to go so bad I probably would’ve peed my pants had he not been able to flag down a female PO as soon as he did, and once we entered the bathroom, I started peeing as soon as my ass hit the toilet.

She seemed pretty cool and I didn’t feel dirty or like I was being molested or anything like that. I was a bit surprised when she asked me why I was on probation. Usually, they’re pretty impersonal.

Afterward, I got a kick out of how the cheeks said, “So you saw her go?” to the lady. I was thinking, Well, she wasn’t looking in the mirror and picking her nose!

Anyway, as of 10:00 last night, an unusual calm came over me and I slept just fine. I thought I’d wake up a zillion times, but I slept right through.

What was funny was that as Tom pointed out, he may not have been planning to test me, since he wasn’t prepared. Whenever he’s tested me before, he’s had things set up, labels on cups, etc. But as soon as I saw him I told him I had to pee real bad either way, and that’s when he commented on it being a while since my last test and got the stuff he needed, along with the PO. All I know is that whether or not he was ready to test me, I was ready to get it over with, and it’s nice to be able to call the shots for once pertaining to what goes on with me.

Anyway, I’m just so glad it’s done and over with. It takes a lot of the stress off me, and I’m going to be really pissed if he surprises me with any other tests. He said the tests, as long as they were clean, would get further and further apart, and I’d like him to keep his word, something people in law enforcement seem to have a hard time doing.

He didn’t mention stopping by, but he reminded me of how much time I have left.

He’s got a lot of stuff in his office. Pins, pictures, matchbox cars of cruisers, patches, and even a rattlesnake skin from a rattler he killed.

After the cheeks, we went to a dollar store where I got a clump of red roses and a clump of maroon roses. I put them on the refrigerator.

I also got a pink plastic toddler chair that I thought would be cool for dolls between the 25”-35” range.

Lastly, I got 3 ballerina figurines. They’re not great, but for a buck each, they sure are nice.

On the way to and fro, we passed a dozen pig cars and got hung up by more creeps than usual.

I woke up today at 129 like I hoped and expected to. What I didn’t expect to do today, though, was take a dump, but I did.

I think I may’ve forgotten to mention this, but a few days ago I discovered both the two remaining crabs dead. That didn’t last long. I guess this climate is just too dry for them, although it was far from dry today. We got lots of clouds and some good steady rain for most of the day. Not the kind that fills the washes, makes running water, and gets cars stuck, but enough to saturate the ground. No leaky doors, either!

Since we’re finally having a normal winter as far as rainfall goes, I wonder if we’ll have a normal monsoon, too?

I almost caught the mouse this morning, but it managed to escape before the trap door shut all the way. This is one major clever mouse! Of course, every time I let the rats out, Little Fella, who loves to come out way more than Oreo does, triggers the damn thing. Oreo sleeps through most of the day like most rats, but my fella never sleeps, so it seems. Oreo’s venturing further away from the cage, but only if I’m there, and if I move back towards the cage, he follows.

Unfortunately, the bike’s not coming via UPS, after all. It’s coming by regular mail. They claim it’ll only take 10 days, but I know that’s bullshit. The HSC dolls never arrived on time, and as the Handi-Stitch taught me, dolls aren’t the only packages that we have problems getting. Half the packages coming to this PO have been returned, so I’m not exaggerating when I say it’s 50/50 as to whether or not we get it. That will really suck if they return it cuz then the same thing will happen that happened with Tasha. They only had so many, so if this gets returned, they won’t keep it for long. They’ll assume we changed our minds and give it to someone else.

As for Chris, Tom says he expects her to be shipped by Friday. I hope so!

Since the Humane Society ripped us off, we’ll have to order labels from the catalog we usually use. I emailed the HS about the stuff they never sent us, but I won’t expect an answer.
