Oh, to Be Free Again
February 13
Anne called today, from Ontario. She’s not mad at me. I’m surprised her call got through but I was very glad to hear from her. She’s gonna help me get settled in Ontario as I had hoped. Expecting a call again on Monday which I look forward to.
Finished drug program today. Got a diploma.
Dan noted on my evaluation form that I needed further treatment for addiction / mental health. He thinks I’m crazy, they all think I’m crazy.
Nobody understands me. Poor me …
… Jennifer was working tonight – always nice to see here. She and I would make cute babies. I wish she would replace the old hag, [nurse1].
Got a Valentines card from [my daughter] today. She should be in to see me on Sunday. I miss her. She’s so cute.
Guy who was supposed to bring in drugs didn’t. I think I’m a curse to anyone who tries to bring stuff in. The plans always seem to go wrong when I’m involved. I’m disappointed but I’m also relieved cause I didn’t get a piss test yet. I’ll be really pissed off if I do get one this weekend though. But I won’t be surprised.
Overall things went well today. It looks like I can begin to make plans for parole to Ontario. That’s what I want so bad. If it doesn’t work out, I will be sad.

Valentine’s Day, but it’s not all romantic in this place. I did get my visit today. Went okay, [my daughter] is a bit shy of me, which makes me feel a bit uncomfortable.
I find it hard to relax in the visiting room because the guard sits there and stares at us. I was hoping my mother could bring me some computer books, but not it seems that not even that is allowed.
Oh, to be free again. This has been such a long week; I thought it would never end.
I think tomorrow, I shall ask for a transfer to medium [security]. I hear that there is hardly anyone there. Lots of room for me. I’m hoping that this coming week, the guy from Summerside Detox will see me and accept me and I can get the parole papers in.
