January 8, 2007

Cleaned the trailer, met with Ken Brown, Bill Ghormley came and cleaned out pipes to toilet and washer, brought fire extinguisher and put plastic cover on front window. Helps a lot, it’s not so cold at this kitchen table.

All in all pretty peaceful until about 9:00 when we were talking on the phone to Shawn. We heard a very tentative knock on the door and when Robert opened it Harrilyn Truax was out there. She had been drinking and wouldn’t come inside. She was alone, which was unusual…she’s always come with someone else before. She kept covering her mouth and said she couldn’t come in because she was embarrassed that she’d been drinking. I went out to talk to her and she said she was “buzzed” so I asked if she’d taken anything. She said no, she’d just had beer. Which may have been true, but I’ve smelled beer and she was drinking stronger stuff than that. She said Isaac (boyfriend) was hitting her. She tried to call someone but they were out of minutes so finally we took her to a home up in Hollywood Hills where she said her sister’s brother lives. They agreed to let her stay there. Hope Isaac, who is our favorite drug dealer, doesn’t come looking for her during the night.

Finished the evening scrapbooking and watching Florida State beat Ohio State. Not nearly as good a game as Boise State.
