Dear Readers,

Howdy! Today has been "Kelly And The No Good Very Bad Day".

I'm currently cooped up in my cave (in bed with a towel at the end and a blanket hung from the side) listening to playlist 3—the love playlist—on C3PO. It's currently playing Whip Appeal by Babyface, a great slow song.

Had another shitty day. Do you even just wake up mad? Never a good sign. The morning improved a little. I was out on the rec yard—it's gotten chilly here!—alone after dinner until 7 PM. I just wasn't in the mood. Then goofy-assed Mason shows up, looking sexy as ever, and we walked laps while he told me stories of his past. He's a good one for cheering a person up.

Just a while ago, Lee—whom I've mentioned before—came by and gave me a small gift. He was supportive and nice. I needed that.

One other good thing was that we had a fog day this morning. We're near a river and we get fog here every so often. It's always a big production when it happens. Fortunately today it rolled in during breakfast (instead of before) so we were able to eat on a normal schedule and take our laundry in (to Laundry to get washed). After that it was back to our cells for a lockdown and not one, but two "counts". I was able to stay in bed all morning and read or nap. That screws up my typing (and hence income), but sometimes I really need a break—or two.

It's almost count time (4 PM).

Kevin's really awful. I bought some new (used) shoes from this guy I know and thought they'd be perfect rec shoes. I didn't have them for 24 hours when Kevin decided he needed them more than I do. Then he commenced to (mostly) buy them back, despite my insistence that I really needed them. My old rec shoes look like Frankenstein's monster. They've been sown up so much, it's terrible. I really don't know how he does this or why I let him.

He said, "You're gonna write about this in your blog, aren't you?" Yep. He is so very spoiled.

Fortunately, I am able to buy a new pair soon. I was able to work out a typing deal that makes it possible for me to do that. I'm not sure if I'll do it this month or next, but I really need to.

Just after "count". They had to do it twice 'cause someone didn't stand up on some BS. I hit Shuffle and Encore by Cheryl Lynn comes on. Another old disco hit. I have others of her that I like more.

Got a lot of typing done today, which was good. And I even made progress on the Carolina Paythers chain booties. And even better, the fog rolled in so they had yet another "fog count". So I was able to go in until 9 AM. I hate mornings. Mornings are evil.

I really miss the days when I stayed up late and slept late! And I listened to Coast to Coast every night.

Crap. The CO unlocked the door already. I thought that would take longer. BRB.

Just before lunch. Had to charge up C3PO before the battery dies, darn it. Got some typing done until 9 AM and then was able to commissary (yeah!).

Lee came over last night. He's become a new friend. I think he has life in prison, and I know that he's been locked up a long time. He hadn't heard of someone having a blog before.

Let me describe Lee: he's a very nice black guy, 50 but sure looks younger, tall, bald, and built like a basketball player. Very handsome and respectful guy. He's a homeboy of Kevin's and Kevin initially brought him over.

Anyway, he was over and was telling me about how Kevin really cares for me, which is nice to hear. Kevin actually opened up to me a couple nights ago, and told me how much he really cared for me and how much he appreciated me. It was really very nice to hear, especially coming from him.

Lee said he was teasing Kevin about "coming over to see me" (wink wink) and that—just for a second—Kevin let his mask down and showed him the real Kevin underneath when Kevin told him, "Don't do that."

Oh, this boy is going to break my heart. I just know it. I'm starting to let my guard down with him. Ugh. I sure like having him around. He drives me crazy—A LOT. But I can't help but love him.

Oh, he likes to sing a lot. I really enjoy that. When he lived next door, I used to hear him all the time through the vent. He is quite the character.

So it's Saturday night here at Club 17. Both the dance floor and lounge areas are open. C3PO is currently spinning Holiday by Madonna. I just did a number to Love on Top by Beyoncé.

There was a birthday party out on the rec yard.

7:59 PM
Kevin just came and went. Anyway, the party was for Za'yon, real nice black tranny with big boobs who is very sweet. Her actual b-day was yesterday as was another Kelly. He's in C-South (I'm in B-South). It was a nice party with plenty of food. Just for the record, a CO could have come out there and broken it up if they wanted. Fortunately, that didn't happen and it was fun.

This past Thursday we had the yearly ritual holiday meal for the Wiccans and the Druids. We had fried chicken from the days' lunch, the BBQ pork from the previous Tuesday, a couple of desserts, a good soup, etc. I definitely got full.

Each religion gets one meal per year. Our big Samhain (Halloween) festival is next week. I haven't been going to the services or the Wiccan studies, but I am planning on attending next week.

Lee's been visiting a lot and we're becoming good friends. I like him a lot. Anyway, he recently said that being in prison is like Groundhog's Day (the movie). It's the same thing over and over. I think that's why I've gotten into such a routine about everything I do.

I was talking with some guy on the rec yard recently, and he said that he was getting out soon. But, he said, he planned on staying out for a while, making some money (selling drugs), violating, and coming back. He says there's nothing for him out there. I know just how he feels. I don't have anything out there. And with all the crap that I'll be facing, for the rest of my life, unless I can leave the country, there's no way I'm going to live with all of that for the rest of my life. Forget it.

Until next time, I wish you...

Love and blessings,
Kelly
