Happy Cinco de Mayo. *smile* Mike (Colorado) is actually getting married in here today. They're doing it right now (11AM) in visiting. He and 2 other inmates, as witnesses, ate early, got dressed in their best khakis and went to visiting where the ceremony will...

Today was a beautiful day outside. We went to yard at 2:15PM and after a few laps to warm up I started to do taiji. Janda was the yard CO and I knew he was OK with me practicing because we had chatted about taiji as he brought me back from dad's visit 63 weeks ago and...

  This morning started off pretty nice. It seemed a bit warmer in the unit than yesterday afternoon and we went to early yard from 8-9AM and it was warmer than in the unit and sunny. After walking and talking a bit I decided to do my (now) daily taiji. The yard...

Another freezing day. The only time I warmed up was the 45 minutes we got to get out to yard...where it as 65 degrees and sunny, and that was warm. Every surface in here is cold: cinder block walls that leach the heat out of you if you lean against them, metal tables...

I always sleep fully dressed in here but last night I had to put on my sweatshirt and sleep under 2 blankets. This morning it was wet again so no yard so no taiji. Oh well, it probably would have been to chilly to enjoy being outside anyway. *chuckle*   This...

  It has been fucking FREEZING all day today. They had turned the AC on when it started to get into the 70s outside but today it was wet with a high around 50 but the AC was still on in here. I wore my tee shirt, shirt, sweatshirt AND my coat...while inside! I...

  Oh, the spring frame bunk is much easier on my hips than the solid metal plate. I'm too skinny I guess, my hips would always press through the mattress and into the plate which would lead to both my hips being sore. In CA I would sleep with this piece of...

Before breakfast this morning I had heard the door pop so I got up too look but they weren't calling us for meal time. Instead, a CO opened the door and announced "Hawks." Jeff was still asleep since we were scheduled for late breakfast today but he sat up on his bunk...

  Aww! It rained this morning so no yard, no taiji. *pout* Jacobs, who sleeps virtually all day, was happy because he wasn't forced to go out to yard. LOL The up-side was that when we got to dayroom everyone else was groggy and slow so not only did I get the...

This morning I got called to classification to see my case manager. He was a friendly enough, middle aged man who had once been a CO but was now too old and had too much of a gut to be a guard anymore I guess. Chulufas is his name. He showed me the program...
