I almost thought perhaps my questions weren't good enough for you to respond to and while I was thinking that, I read through approx. 70% of your posts. Then voila, you wrote! Awww , Thank you :) Not once in all of your writings did I ever feel or think you were conceited. You asked, I answered. Not once. I've not met you, but with your writings you are seemingly very much like a dear uncle of mine. He's very artistic, has a positive attitude and is super funny! I'll certainly look into the show "60 days In" !! As for the book you mentioned, I've seen you write about it with the Musicologist but really didn't know what it was all about. I'll be scouting out Amazon shortly to have a look! You hit the nail on the head when you said "Rut". That is exactly what it is and I just didn't know the word to use. Summer is over in Canada, the leaves are changing and really it is truly beautiful. However, I know what comes after that beauty. Six harsh, cruel months of "the deep freeze where the air hurts your face". If I wasn't tied to family , I might consider moving somewhere tropical , or a least sunny and warm all of the time. Funny you should mention a "Cook BOOK". It was my birthday on the 17th and my daughters bought me one! And I've already tried out a few which have turned out great! It's a slow cooker book, so you just throw it all in and let it cook all day. Some of the spices are new to me but it's DIFFERENT! Yes, I've thought of you many times as I've chopped and prepped food in the kitchen and hope they are serving you something with the flavours you so desire. Just so you are aware, I don't think of your writings as coming from a prisoner. I just enjoy the correspondence from a person who writes well, has humour and can laugh. Yes Yes Yes, you get on that book! I suggest starting my simply putting all of your blog posts in it, and then going from there! I'd buy it!! Congratulations on your Graduation!! I do think I just might hunt out my community for something "new" to do. Something that will get me out of the house. As you know, I am a nurse, and my inner soul has always been to help those who "need" me. (which is why I am still working)! So I perhaps might scout out somewhere that needs me. We'll see, I'll let you know! For now, I'm quite happy with my exchanges with you Eric. Thank you so much for the date hint for the maze!! I found it , and I'm looking at it and thinking I'd better print off a few!! It's intense, but so precisely done! I can't wait to do it and I do have a variety of highlighters to use! I'll let you know how that goes. (love the new pen! You writer is very much clearer! If that's possible? It always was very clear and meticulously written)
I look very forward to a week or two of meals in prison, in detail! But as well if you can add perhaps snacks or items you might make using ingredients from the canteen, that would be great too! Take care Eric, <3 Deevoted
Dear Jack, I'm glad you're getting closer to getting out. I hope you're excited to get out, too. Is there at least a vague estimation of your release date? Do you have any plans for when you get out? As for community college classes, I'm going to take it really slow. I have pretty bad social anxiety and I dropped out of high school because of mental illness and physical chronic illness, so I'll probably just start with one or two classes. I really want to take an American Sign Language (ASL) class. I already know some ASL, but I want to know it fluently. I don't know anybody who uses it, but I just kind of feel like... There's a whole culture of people in America that use a beautiful language that I at least want to be able to understand. Also, I never know when sign language might come in handy, you know? No pun intended. I've been really productive and studying for the GED tests a lot, which is nice! I've also even been lifting weights and working out, which I pretty much never do. It's funny because my world is kind of collapsing around me (my parents are getting divorced and my mom is really not taking it well, and my sister has been kind of self destructive), but I'm really thriving. I almost feel kind of guilty, honestly. What's with the PREA for sexual harassment? I don't mean to pry for details and I won't judge you either way, but were you the sexual harasser or the one that was sexually harassed? Again, I won't judge, I'm just concerned for you. A lot is changing in the world, in both of our worlds at least. I think they're for better, too. As always, I hope you have a wonderful day and a wonderful month (or however long it will take until I can get your response). -Grace
