Today Was A Good Day

This morning my "son" left. Around 12am, right before midnight, she woke me up to tell me goodbye. I can already tell that she is gone because it has been really quiet around here. My old bunkie, who was the driver that took her to the next destination, told me how she reacted when she got to the bus station and it made me really sad. See, my son is a little socially awkard and does not like change. To some it might sound weird but she had gotten settled here and was comfortable with the people and the environment. My old bunkie said that my son was crying, a lot, when being dropped off and at one point asked her to take her back to the prison. This broke my heart. It also made me realize how blessed I am and how you never know how other people deal or cope with the same situations.

Today, I also graduated from electrical class. I am not even going to lie, I have no idea what I am doing. LOL! Actually, I know just enough to be dangerous. There were a total of 10 of us who graduated. This class, like others that I have taken, was just a class for exploration. I have done that a lot here. I allowed myself to explore new things. In exploring electrical work, I realized that it is not for me; it is too technical. I am a creative. Some may say it was a waste of time, but it helped my time pass and I learned more about myself. 

Now for the best news of the day. I met with my case manager and received a tenative release date!!! I can't believe it. I am finally OFFICIALLY planning my return home. This week I have been more anxious and bored. I knew it was about time for me to head on out of here. LOL! I am ready. I shared the news with my family and friends. They are all super excited and ready. I can't believe it is almost over. Thank you God!
