Every attempt at communication is a leap into the dark, with no guarantees that we will be understood or even heard by anyone.

Tuesday the sewer backed up in the mess hall, so they feed us on paper plates in the mess hall. Some people even sit down to eat and no one will even get fired for that. Wednesday they told us to take the plates back to the cells. I dropped mine on the track along with all the others on my way back. :) All I wasted was a sack lunch anyway. Thursday they just gave us sack lunches in the cells. Bad, hateful peoples, above all laws they think they are.

"No one even admits they're wrong half as loudly as they claim they're right."

How are you doing, baby sister? Hi. :)

Sad, sick, sober, and sorry. Listening to way too much Hank W.

You are my friend, my lover, my double. Love endures.

I'm doing my best with what I know.

I reviewed my Degree of Associate in Arts. In general studies: social science. It felt pretty good, but I'm still waiting for them to start a BA program up.

"It doesn't matter if your glass is half empty or half full. Be thankful you have a glass and there's something in it."

Your smile is still like the stars on a clear night on top of the back parking lot on 8th and J.

I love a rainy day. But on rainy days, my arthritis flares up bad as the atmospheric pressure drops. I would be happy for the dry winter, but we need the water.

Turn on some music, write some poetry, paint a seascape with a lighthouse and sailboat, may watch a movie together.

Even dogs dream of better lives and being loved.

Noticed that you totally ignored the last post I made - shouldn't surprise me since you seldom answer my direct questions in letters either.
Still on the pity pot I see - the CDC is always wrong and opts to persecute you - perhaps if you'd stayed away from committing crimes that wouldn't have been an issue.
Language, words, spelling, dyslexia - what is it that causes you to write or type things like "rum" when you mean "rub" and other things like that? For me - it's like fingernails on a chalkboard - I can't stand it.
Not sure how I feel right now - obviously bitchy - but overall - meh
