On Saturday I visited my roommate at the women's chemical dependency recovery center where she's staying. Since it's in Marin I figured it would be this posh New Age facility with a guy named Yanni in a Hall and Oates mustache/mullet combo leading Yoga classes, but it was more like jail than anything, with a bunch of Big Shirls from What's Happening cracking down on every infraction. Within the first five minutes I saw this pregant Mexican women climb through the window in the kitchen and escape. I was having a cup of tea with my friend and suddenly this lady came in, all flushed and excited, and was like, It's nice to meet you I've heard a lot of wonderful things but I'm breakin' the fuck out so I can't really chat. My baby daddy is going to jail this afternoon and he doesn't know I'm pregnant yet and I don't care if they kick me out I have to tell him, and with that she slammed a glass of milk, climbed up on the counter, opened the glass portion of the window, and put her boots through the screen. Then she climbed out, looked both ways paranoid, popped her head back in smiling, and said, alright guys I'll see you later.
With that she darted across the lawn into the parking lot, like that scene in Rushmore where Bill Murray just starts sprinting after his conversation with Miss Cross.
It happened so suddenly all I could muster was a faint good luck, which I'm sure she missed, and then I returned to my tour of the facility.

me: yeah, that charmaine lady gave me a full cavity search before she let me in. she smelled like cocoa butter.
her: well they have to make sure you're not smuggling anything in, or holding. (quick burst of of excitement) you're not holding are you?

Thanks kj for another snapshot of chaos. I've been taking a freind to straighten out her meds to a doc who has all of these communist-era anti-alcohol posters on the wall. They are fascinating and horrific at the same time.
