• It’s too late to be on here, but I wanted to tell you how much I am loving my new bamboo screen.  I kind of leaned it up against the edge of the window, on the brick.  I was afraid it might topple over onto the puppy while she was chewing on it.  She hasn’t tried to yet but she chews on everything else.  So now I am sitting in the privacy of my new corner.

  
  

  The other thing I did was call the police back with the different last name.  Hopefully his mother was only married twice, and the name I got is really his.  She looked it up and said they didn’t have anything on him in Clackamas County.  So that’s encouraging.  I’m leaving for the mountains Friday, so I really want to feel like I have this under control before I go.  That sounds really stupid, like I’m ever going to have this under control.  The police officer, a much more helpful one, said I should write a letter and send it to him, certified, so that he has to sign for it.  Until he receives, in writing, a statement saying he is not allowed on my property, he can come over here all he wants.  Once he gets the letter, I can, after two visits, put him in jail.  And it counts if he’s using binoculars from his house to look into mine.  Or at least that’s what she said.  But now I have to get his address at the trailer park.

  
  

  I look at my list of resolutions and add to it.  I’ve been trying to work towards achieving my goals.   I’ve worked out two days this week, and I’ve got most of Christmas put away.  I wrote an essay in an attempt to get an interview.  And I cooked shrimp tonight.  I even got a bunch of stuff drycleaned, trying to get together some clothes for interviewing.  My resume looks like shit, though.  And I even had someone help me with it.  So I have to tweak it some. 

  
  

  I can barely keep my eyes open.  ‘Night.
