Wednesday, October 22nd
 (dictated 6:58 pm, Oct 29) 

     It’s off to work I go, but first, 
let me tell you what happened after my 
name went public.                      
     Nothing. Not a fucking thing.     
     I was expecting a whole truckload 
of reporters to call or just show up,  
because I’m such a big-ass celebrity   
now, but nothing happened.             
     Sometimes, I’m just so full of my-
self, and I was disappointed, but I    
also knew that being anonymous was the 
best thing that could happen,          
especially with my history.            
     After my meeting with the DA, and 
while I waited for the horde of repor- 
ers, and the lynch mobs, Beth and I    
took care of the little kitten, whose  
name was Fishy.                        
     Once again, we made a little fort 
of pillows, put him right in the mid-  
dle, and camped out near the fireplace,
singing campfire songs and roasting    
marshmallows again.                    
     That didn’t last too long, because
Fishy’s temperature started going up   
right after dinner, and Beth spent the 
rest of the night trying to keep him   
cool and checking every few minutes to 
make sure it didn’t get too high.      
     I tried to help, but there really 
wasn’t a whole lot I could do.         
     Beth had everything under control,
and I fell asleep about three in the   
morning. We’d abandoned the tent by    
then and were both sleeping on the     
floor next to the bed.                 
     I didn’t get much sleep, because I
was still worried about Fishy, and the 
angry mobs showing up, but I did get   
some.                                  
     Beth woke me a little after seven 
to tell me his temp was down a whole   
degree, and she was so happy, but also 
looked absolutely exhausted.           
     I told her to go upstairs and take
a nap, and she didn’t even argue with  
me. She grabbed a pillow and a blanket 
and crawled inside the tent instead of 
climbing up all those stairs.
