I was arrested on March 9th. I was just released and am to appear for sentencing in July. I am not permitted back at my apartment because a neighbor is terrified of me. I have to go there with police escort in order to pick up my 150+ notebooks and whatever else I can salvage. Many cockroaches infested things while I've been locked up. Supposedly my notebooks were all over the apartment even though I had them organized in boxes.
Like I said, I just got released tonight (Monday night). It's almost midnight, my mom has the flu ... I have to contact probation officer tomorrow and then contact police when I am ready to retrieve wallet (with ID) and journals. I will most likely trash all clothes and kitchen supplies and start over once again. I will be on probation for a few years. If I screw up, I face 5 years ... Terroristic Threats. I won't go into details.
My plan is ... after I put my "life's work" in storage, plant flowers for my mom, clean her carpets, meet with probation officer and the rest ... is to build a computer from scratch, find an inexpensive scanner, scan most of my diaries into digital format, save them on several devices (flashdrives and CDs) ... and eventually get a campsite and burn the diaries so I won't have to go theough what I have been through.
I just don't have anyone I can count on to preserve these damn notebooks.
I even begged my sister to post to this site 2 months ago, but she wasn't willing to do this.
I sent letters to a friend and my mother too, and they didn't think it was very important to post a message. I asked them to give my name and the address of the jail I was being held in so that HT (Holden) could correspond with me. Holden is my only "receiver" and I wanted to contact him. Nobody did it.
I wrote 500 pages while I was in there. I am in no rush to type the stuff up.
Now I am exhausted ... a very long and stressful day.
