Starting with excellent news – we got the new computers! One is for the TV. We’re going all digital. Now I’ll be able to record Charlie’s Angels on CDs. No more setting up or rewinding videos!

The other computer, of course, is for me. It’s going to be so nice to get rid of this agonizingly slow computer and to be able to burn my own CDs.

I spoke to Paula, who says it’s okay to send stuff if she does go to jail cuz she’ll definitely get the mail when she gets out. I let her know I was upgrading, getting my own burner, and that I’d send her a CD at some point.

Next comes the fences, then the kiln!

It’s no wonder I never heard from the dentist. I sent her email to the wrong address! Guess I’m the one that got stuck on stupid. I sent them again, so we’ll see if I hear back from her.

Oh, Mary, please hurry up and send me the Teddy Bear update with as much detail as possible! I want to know every single thing you know!

I wonder if Teddy Bear, once she knew she was in trouble, wished she’d kept her word about seeing me so she could use me for that positive reference I offered if she ever needed it. Too late now, huh girl?

Whatever it is she’s done, I doubt she’ll get fired. They always protect their own. I mean, I don’t know if this is true, but if it’s true that Palma slugged an inmate like I heard, look at what she got for it. All she got was a quick suspension. No charges, no firing. I believe the rumor too, because I heard it from more than one source and because of Palma’s aggressive personality.
