Im ihome alone again. Jerry is at work again, or so he says. I doubt he is really at work, he's probably with Sally. He thinks I don't know about her, but I do.

  I'm glad he is not here, he would just belittle me anyway. He would just scream" where is my dinner?!" Or "why are you wearing that?" " You know it makes you look fat!"

  No, I'm glad he is not home. I'm trying to figure out ways to make a little bit of money so I can finally leave him. He won't let me have any of his money. Last time I asked him for money to buy myself some groceries, because I can't eat his, he punched me in the stomach multiple times. Once I fell to the floor he kicked me until I passed out from the pain. No I won't ask him again.

  I'm going to continue working on the neighbors yard to make money. She told me that John a couple doors down, is looking for someone to clean his house twice a week and he will pay really good. A few more jobs and I will have enough money to leave. I'm starting to get excited. I just hope Jerry doesn't come home any time soon. It's already 9 pm. I still have a few things to do before he gets here.
