Day 18 (November 14)

The weekend is here again.  I slept in till noon.  Then I got up and took a shower.  It’s annoying that I have no control over the hot water.  I have to get somebody to tell the guard to turn the temperature up or down, and then it’s either too hot or too cold.  I can’t get it right. I’m not happy.  If I was in charge around here things would be different around here.  But I’m not in charge (acceptance – page 449 of the big book).

Hotdogs for lunch as I expected.  Meals are going to the schedule I’ve done up.  There are some gaps in the schedule but tonight I think it might be chicken burgers.’

We played two games of Risk this afternoon.  I won both.  I decided to use a slow careful strategy and it paid off.  World domination.  Infidels.

We had bologna for supper. Hmmmm  I wasn’t expecting that.  Just when I get it all figured out, I find that I may not have it figured out after all.

I called home after supper and spoke to Steven (asked him to save some Halloween candy for me) and my mother. She’s going to make calls to Freddie, Dr. Jones, and the lawyer.  That should help get things moving a bit faster.  She also said she’d be in to see me on Thursday.

All in all, not much happened today, but its one day less till I get outta here.
