I got a visit arranged today for Saturday with the kids.  I’m a-looking forward to that.  And I called Anne today, but she wasn’t home.  She called back but they wouldn’t let me talk to her.  What’s that all about? … and Georgina took me to the computer room this afternoon, so I got some letters written there.

For the rest of the afternoon, I talked to Tyler about his addiction.  We’re trying to figure out how to get him some help when he gets out.  That’s twelfth step work, I think.  I think now that I’m going to stay in max and see what happens with Tyler.  Time seems to go by well with me and him and Steve.  I’ve only got a couple of weeks left anyway (I hope).

Finished up my letters to Ontario treatment centres (fourteen of them) and got ‘em in the mail today along with another application to Canadian … no word from Anne today. [Supervisor] told me that she called yesterday and said that she would call back, maybe tomorrow.  I get to see the doctor tomorrow.  He’s putting me on some kind of medication for my stomach.  He mentioned that back pain could be caused by a pancreas problem common, I guess, in heavy drinkers.  That knowledge may come in handy someday …

I called Irene for Tyler this afternoon to get him some advice. His lawyer is going to contact Dr. Jones for him … I haven’t been outside for the past few days cause its cold out there.  My skin is still red.  I thought it would have turned into a tan by now. Hmmm.  I’m expecting to hear from parole any day now and know for sure that I’m a getting outta here.

Another day gone by.  Pretty much uneventful.  Started my new medication today.  Can’t remember what its called.  Lost a couple of games of Scrabble.  Practiced my typing – I’m at 25 wpm – 28 tops.  Just another day, it was neither good nor bad, just another day.
