Just ate breakfast, 2 pancakes. Got up at 4:30, cleaned the cell and washed up. I need to write at least one letter. I hope they call me for recreation today. I'm still sick and have one bad headache. Guess I'll lay down.

8:41 am
I'm writing a letter . The Sgt. came down and checked the water in cell #5. One of the guys got a D.R. and is coming down. I was wondering why he wasn't in the visiting park yesterday. Now I know.

9:24 am
They just brought Wade down. he will be here for ten days. I'm watching RTM.

11:56 am
Here's lunch. I'm working on a letter to churches and christian's to try to abolish the death penalty. I'm going to eat and get back to it.

4:01 pm
Back to working on this letter, but I feel sick to my stomach.

4:35 pm
Finished that letter, now I've got to get it typed up. Dinners coming down the hallway right now. It's that nasty patty. Hope to make something, maybe soup.

4:43 pm
I at the potato salad. I'll eat something else later. I need to lay down for a bit. I think this is my gallbladder that's hurting and causing me to feel sick to my stomach.

6:21 pm
They just started showers. McCray didn't go so I'll be next in the shower cause Martin, next to me, hasn't showered in over a month. It's a closed in cell so I can't smell him.

6:54 pm
Back from the shower. I'm going to lay down and call it a day. Hope for a more productive tomorrow.

Cleaned everything up, made the bunk, the officers just came through opening cell doors with keys. They do it every Tuesday morning. Breakfast should be here any minute. I got one letter in last night. I've got a law library call out today and need to go to the property room to mail something.

6:02 am
Ate breakfast. A little sausage patty, at least it wasn't burnt. I'd rather it be burnt than under cooked and gray.

7:33 am
Just got a legal letter from Linda with the judges order to deny my appeal. I knew it was going to happen so it's no surprise. I'll post the order on my blog for everyone to see. Jack ass judges with their stinking American judicial system!

11:03 am
Back from the law library. Stopped by the property room and mailed out a gift. Now I need to get some legal letters ready to go out.

12:01 pm
Got 15 of these letters ready to go out in the morning. They served lunch, it was ice cold. I placed it in a bowl and have it heating up. I'll eat here shortly. I need to lay down, I'm in a lot of pain.

2:27 pm
Damn my back hurts. I'm trying to get some more legal stuff done.

4:43 pm
Ate chicken, rice and tomatoes. Need to lay back down, my back is killing me.

7:36 pm
I'm going to sleep.

So there's 7 of us down here on this wing now. I got one letter in last night so I'll write that. I need to find some attorney addresses which Mike might be able to help me with.

Sunday October 19, 2014

5:43 am
Just finished eating breakfast, made the bunk, cleaned up. I got up at 4:30 am. I went to bed early but got up and watched the end of the Florida State game. That was a really good finish. I'm going to watch the news here shortly, it comes on at 6:00 am then I'll get ready for the visit.

8:35 am
Finished bathing. Watching GMA (Good Morning America) and waiting for them to call me for visits. Which will probably be another hour.

1:23 pm
Just got back from visit. Mom wanted to go to a fair in St. Augustine so I suggested she leave early. Hope she has a nice time. We had a good visit. I'm hurting and need to lay down.

3:17 pm
Finished writing Ann. I have several other letters to write. Not sure I'll get them done today. Back hurts sitting here. Miami Dolphins are winning 24-7. Wish I could watch that game. They have the 0-6 Jags on. Wish they would move that team to LA. I can't stand that city.

3:55 pm
Finished a card to Father Conrad and wrote out a poem that he liked that I recited to him Friday and he requested that I write it out. I need to lay down for a while.

6:06 pm
Been watching football, Giants and Dallas. I'm tired. When I told mom today that the court denied my last motion, she said "Don't tell me something that is going to make me sick.". I played it off as not being that serious. When, in fact, it is serious. My appeals are basically over other than some routine motions and filings. Well I'm going to call it a day. Lay back and watch the rest of this game and then go to bed.
