Dear Readers,

Howdy! I hope everyone is well and happy.

Things overall have been okay for me, although I'm not in the best mood right now. The reason for that will be explained.

I met someone last month. His name is Warren. He got here a couple weeks before I died, but I rarely saw him on the compound and we never really spoke. Well, last month I was on the Rec yard and went up to a couple of guys I knew who happened to be talking to Warren. To make a long story short, he introduced himself and we started talking and then hanging out right after that. Since then, we started spending most of our free time together.

Warren is primarily "straight", but he has a lot of time to do and he decided he didn't want to be alone all that time. It's still a new relationship and I am a little wary after what happened last time, but so far, he has been really great and I care about him a lot. I really hope this works out.

Unfortunately, the bad news. He's in the Hole (Segregation) right now and it's not even his fault. This past Thursday he moved to another cell in his unit (we're in different units, which sucks). The very next day, on Friday, his new cell was searched and his cellie was "washing stamps" and he was told that they found some drug residue in his cellie's washing materials. Washing stamps: taking used stamps and cleaning off the markings by the post office so they can be used again.

So he just moved in this cell and went to the Hole the next day because of something his cellie did. Great.

This really sucks. I have been grateful to get a couple of notes from him (smuggled on the food trays and someone in the kitchen finds them), but unfortunately I can't get any word to him. He thinks he'll get out this week and I am really, really hoping he does. I miss his dumb ass!

There were a few stabbings a couple of weeks ago. I heard there were three one night. Stabbings never happen here. I twas political BS started by some black guys (shock). We were locked down for a couple of days and that was it. Unfortunately, they've been searching guys a lot more. These idiots only make things worse for everyone in the long run.

I started going to the Buddhist services again. Warren decided he wanted to change to Buddhism right after we met and so I've been going with him. Of course, I skipped it while he's been in the Hole. I still think some of those people are hypocrites.

Right now, I'm stuck in the chapel for the Wicca services. I'm on the callout (it's like an appointment) and they have started writing guys on incident report if they don't show up. I have never been in a prison where they require you to show up for religious services.

Well, that's not much news but it's the latest. Until next time, I wish you...

Love and blessings,
Kelly

PS: Warren got out of the Hole today! Yah!
