Following his return to Sleepy Hollow, Reg would appeal the decision to revoke his parole.  Later, we see that he also asks for permission to leave the facility to spend Christmas with his family.

Ann didn’t show up today.  Not a big surprise.  This is the third time she’s done that.  It really annoys me the way I’m treated by my friends on the outside.  I’m reluctant to contact anyone.  Nobody’s gone out of their way to do anything for me since I’ve come in here.  I’m hoping something is going to happen this weekend for Dennis and I but who knows?

We’ve got a bit of an airshow outside today.  One of the pilots was practicing for the airshow outside tonight.  Tomorrow, I’m getting some phenobarb which might give me a bit of a buzz.  That would be nice.  Fuck this abstinence shit.  It hasn’t gotten me anywhere.

Dwight M. from the RCMP was here today to interview me regarding the complaint I put in about my money.  There is some hope although I’m not overly optimistic about getting the money back.  I’m also thinking about putting in a complaint about Burt D., Montague RCMP about his reporting the accident with the Mazda to the Dept. of Highways even though I’ve never been charged.

… got in touch with Larry today.  He didn’t get anything done all week. I guess if you just expect to be let down then you won’t be let down, if that makes any sense.  What I mean is that you can’t get anyone to do you a favor while you’re in here … I’ve decided to call Ann again tomorrow and ask her again to come out.  I guess I’m getting desperate. …

I got a message today to call [my wife] this weekend.  I wonder what she wants.  Probably to settle the separation agreement.  I don’t care.

… looks like it’s going to rain for the next week or so.  That should make for a long weekend.  Next weekend I’m going to be getting some tapes for learning French so I’m looking forward to that.

We caught a cell thief today.  The new guy stole a bale of tobacco from me.  I found it in his room and I even bought him a pack yesterday!  So we ran him out of the unit.  Frankie gave him a slap and I should have too.  He’s going to do two months of hard time here!  John Murphy is in lockup for a b. and e. [break and enter] another thief.  I don’t want him in here either.

[My middle brother and his wife] were here for a visit today.  I wasn’t expecting them, but it was nice that they dropped in.  They say [my son] is at the house all the time but [my wife] hardly ever brings [my daughter] down.

Ann didn’t show up.  She had the phone off the hook all day.  I don’t know what the fuck that’s about, but I won’t be calling anymore.  Winston didn’t show up either.  I think he’s probably all fucked up.  I might have to get somebody to go see him – more headaches …

John M. got put in our unit today.  He’s not a bad guy but I think it’s him who stole my bracelet.  He’ll never admit it though … the guards brought in three papers today that helped to pass the time.  Overall, the weekend and this month seems to be going fast.  And I hope the weather stays nice for a while.
