JIMMY CALLED ME WITH THE GOOD NEWS LAST NIGHT, THAT HE HAS BEEN APPROVED FOR A JOB, AND SHOULD START NEXT MONDAY.........WELL, I AM SO HAPPY AND EXCITED, BUT SINCE I HAVE LEARNED TO BE VERY CAUTIOUS IN LIFE ABOUT HAPPINESS, I WILL WAIT AND SEE EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS!.......

JIMMY HAS AN ANALYTICAL MIND, AND LOVES TO FIGURE OUT EVERYTHING, AND KEEP TRACK OF EVERYTHING, IN HIS BRAIN....AS FOR ME, I NEED TO WRITE EVERYTHING DOWN, AND KEEP RECORDS ON PAPER...........................SO, LAST NIGHT HE WAS TELLING ME THE FOLLOWING STATISTICS IN OUR LIFE........WE HAVE SPOKEN AN ESTIMATED 2000 TIMES ON THE PHONE FOR THE PAST 23 MONTHS  (i think it is even a little more),  WE HAVE SPOKEN AN ESTIMATED 30,000 MINUTES ON THE PHONE.................IN THE PAST 23 MONTHS, I HAVE SEEN HIM A TOTAL OF 12 TIMES   (3 times in the ocean county jail, 4 times at bayside,but once i was refused entry, 3 times at talbot hall, and 2 times at kintock)......................I TOLD HIM I REALLY LOST TRACK OF HOW MANY TIMES I SAW HIM, AND THE FIRST YEAR HAS ALREADY STARTED BECOMING A BLUR TO ME.......HE SAID THAT IS NORMAL..HE IS "INSIDE," IN A LOCKED UP ENVIRONMENT, SO INMATES KEEP TRACK OF THINGS...THEY COUNT DAYS, HOURS, ETC.....BUT FOR ME, SINCE I AM ON THE OUTSIDE, I DON';T "COUNT THINGS' AS A PERSON WHO IS LOCKED UP DOES.........ALSO, IT IS ALMOST UNDERTANDABLE THAT AT THIS POINT, AS TIME MOVES ON, I WILL START FORGETTING THE PAST MONTHS AND YEARS....BECAUSE IN MY SUBCONSCIOUS I WANT TO FORGET, BUT IT IS STILL THERE.......I AM HAPPY TO START MOVING ON, AND START FORGETTING THE PAST..............PRETTY SOON I KNOW MY HUSBAND WILL BE HOME, AND WE CAN START LIVING LIFE ONCE AGAIN...............IT'S FUNNY...I LIVE 15 MINUTES FROM THE BEACH AND BOARDWALK, AND I HAVE NO IDEA IT IS THERE....I'VE NEVER GONE THERE SINCE JIMMY LEFT HOME................I CAN;T WAIT FOR THE NICE WEATHER WHEN WE CAN RELAX AND GO TO SIT ON THE BOARDWALK, AND ENJOY THE OCEAN AND THE SUN.......
