Dear Readers,
It's about time for lockdown on Friday the 13th! Nathan just walked in. He's back. I was alone for four glorious weeks.

Nathan deuced out ("fall out") a few weeks ago, and someone moved into his old cell while he was in the Hole. He's okay, but he has nasty personal habits like not showering, not taking his clothes or sheets to laundry... Nasty.

Things have been so fucked up here lately. This whole week has been a mess. We had fog on Monday, two recalls on Tuesdays, another recall on Wednesday. IT's been a mess. December was my worst month in income last year, and it looks like this year will be the same.

I was supposed to get a typing job from our local rapper, Guely Santago, but he went to the Hole yesterday 'cause there was a fight and supposedly he was involved in some way. Hopefully he'll get our soon, and I'll be back in business.

My life has been fairly uneventful. other than the library, I've mainly stayed in my cell and read. I hate cold weather and going out to rec does not appeal to me.

I had intended to send this post out first, but then I went to the Hole and decided to post something from there. Also, I had intended to go into all the problems we've been having from the staff this past year.

So... I'm including two complaints which were filed about these issues, and you can read for yourself.

I am going to mail this to the wonderful volunteers to BTB and ask if they can place this before my January post about going to the Hole in order to keep thing in chronological order. Plus, this post explains about Nate being back in my cell.

Love and blessings,
Kelly
