TrDearest Julia Likewise its a blessing 2 hear from U as well! I am currently in possession of ur snail mail n BTB comments I will respond 2 both in this post without violating any of ur confidences. Other things will b commented on via snail mail when I
get 2 my next destination! I'm scheduled 2 b on the 1st thing smoking when transfers R back up n running. Which should b in the next 1-3 weeks! Hope its next week!
We just did official Covid 19 testing today. Well they did half the compound via the National Guards in face shields masks hats n blue hospital suits n several pair of latex gloves! See they
got lime green ones,gotta get me a box of them! Well any way they gone do the other half of the facility tomorrow. Its a waiting game after that as the test results will take 3-7 days 2 come back. Word is IF no one has it who lives here then things will go back 2 some kinda normalcy. But probably still no basketball! Fine by me don't want 2 rush out there n get hurt n miss my bus! Any who if a resident has it then I guess we going back on lockdown 4 14 days but it'll b level 1. Which means 12 people out at a time stead of the25 or so they let out now! But either way there will b cross contamination. But my thing is If we all got tested the same day this guy got it nl don't y do I have 2 b quarantined? Mind ul been stuck 4 12 weeks around the same people! If I was gone get it from him I would have it by now wouldn't I ? Less he caught it day of the test, but if that's the case n we been around each other even that day y am I being punished? Does what I'm saying make sense? Just saying if men u been around each other 4 3 months str8 nu got it n I don't now what?
Guess nows a great time 2 tell u how Covid effected me in here... No school No visits/pastoral visits No church/bible study's No programs No basketball Less courtyard Less day room Less shower availability Less hygiene time More frustration No haircuts No transfers from one prison 2 the next No trips 2 the Dept of Motor Vehicles No hospital trips less an emergency
2 free phone calls a week ($1 a piece) 5 free emails (10¢ a piece) Social distancing at PRC
Each unit split in half stead of 50 people out at once its only 25! Rec has only 10-15 people a period stead of 70-90!!! Rec is only weightlifting Lots of nonessential workers laid (luckily I'm still able 2 crochet at work! My 2 coworkers on paid leave!) 2 movies on the weekend, which may or may not continue after the pandemic No ice! But get cold ice water on heat advisory days! Less time 2 eat.
As of last week we got haircuts back! That's bout it N they did an ice cream fund raiser!
See what all we get back after these tests come back! Don't care 2 much just want 2 go 2 an adult facility n get on with life!
No I don't recall the story u sent b4 I quite enjoyed it. Made me smile. Like the honesty in which she writes n her analysis of human behavior n her verbage like a kid really wrote it! That's talent! Tip my pen 2 her!
So thanks 4 keeping ur fingers crossed 4 my parole hearing ! U can uncross 'em now! Smile! Yup I didn't get let go this time! They told me 2 do 8 more months, so I go 2 Parole in December 2020 (it says February 2021 but u actually see em 2 months early) Still believing God that this is the year of my release! Amen So much so I followed His lead 2 write the State Public Defenders Office after I got an email saying they helping people with sentence modifications (time cuts) so I just wrote n told em thé 3 legal reasons I believe I can get back into court, like my lawyer doing a bad job. I was her 1st criminal case! N she was a family court attorney! Everyone has their first case but by her actions she failed 2 render the legal effectiveness guaranteed me under the 6th amendment of the constitution. Also asked if I could go back under juvenile brain development n or the fact that I've earned my parole but can't go home! Time will tell Believe they gone least look into my case! Lord knows had several dreams of getting visits from a lawyer, a woman in particular. N based on my dreams convinced her name Lauren or Laura! Time will tell. But oddly enuff god has given other people even those I'm not 2 close 2 dreams of me leaving prison! One guy I had just met had a dream my mom came 2 pick me up from here. N a brother in Christ was given a dream of a group of lawyers freeing me on juvenile justice reform though I missed the 18 yrs old cut off by 60 days!
Time will tell By faith I just keep getting ready
But here's great news!
Remember last year I sent u a birthday card out the blue with a letter saying MARCH 27 keep coming 2 me? Since like 2017 that date been coming 2 me with a sense of release, naturally n selfishly figured god was speaking 2 me bout my own release date. Well in May I found out that was not the case!
See MARCH 27 2020 come 2 find out is when My codefendant MAURICE WENT HOME Smile N if that wasn't enuff On Friday June 12 I gotta letter from my other codefendant "God has blessed me with release!!! By the time u get this I'll b home!!!..." See TRE WENT HOME JUNE 9,2020! Smile 2 down 12 go!!!! Imma praise God in advance that its over! Amen 2 other people from. My hometown also got released June 9,2020 Happy 4 em!!!! Smile My time coming Smile
Thanks 4 all the informative knowledge on Raynaud's disease! Now I know how 2 spell it.n now I know I got it!!! I pretty much have all those symptoms as my letters 2 u attest 2. Who else sleeps in gloves a hat sock's coat thermo pajama shirt jogging pants a sheet n 2 blankets over that then snuggled so not a hint of air gets in? NI been thru the whole fingers turning numb n purple thing! One time right b4 basketball. Hard 2 shoot with cripple hands ! Showed the police but he just said next time it happens we'll send u 2 hsu. Course it happened again but by the time I went 2 complain they went back 2 normal. Tricky lil fingers! Well this syndrome definitely effects my quality of life. I definitely have an attitude when I'm cold
n when people insist on coin things 2 make me colder. No man cares 4 my soul! Psalm 142:4 which is my fave verse. N who knew that stress also triggers it. I got a double whammy! Lord knows I b not only subject 2 ice cold weather but a bunch of emotional stress. Prison sucvks like that. Course as if that wasn't enuff I believe I got Carpal tunnel! Lord knows I do alotta typing, writing, crocheting! So we secondary Raynaud's it is. Things that happen 2 ur body at 40! Hopefully I won't have 2 lose a hand!
Sidebar Just seen that they done away with Aunt Jemima syrup! Acknowledged that it had slavery overtones even though they took of her head scarf n gave her a perm years back! Interestingly enough I told a guy how the monicker is the fast way of saying "Ain't yo Mama" Didn't believe me but.
Well once again thanks 4 ur service initiative, n just the interests u show in others interests
U 2 good 2 b tru!
Preciate ur thoughtfulness Haven't wore my masks in a while but will when I have 2 may start coin it again just 2 prepare 4 the real world n 4 my next job in the bakery. Don't want ' 2 put droplets in nobody food?! Then despite the uncomfortableness of hours in the masks they gave us know I'll b alright especially since they got all kind of cool ones out now! Seen a blue one made outta some cool material n got some kinda box on the side that weighs an ounce n does something special 2 guard u against viruses. I don't know but I'm gone wear n design masks cause I like fashion! So I'm wearing gloves n all that!
Speaking of masks made my mom 1 outta yarn! Crocheted a blue n white 1 with her name well her nickname it. Made my day when she said she love it n took pictures in it n gone wear it 2 an event. Will b making my own upon release. Can't wait. Got some super creative ideas I can't wait 2 see manifest. Regarding fashion trying 2 find a guy I did some work 4 but been MIA 4 a while now! Trying 2 figure out what's the deal? Specially since I don't have much longer in prison!!! Hopefully we can talk man 2 man n if we can't agree go our separate ways! Peacefully of course. Mean I created the logo did all the designs marketing business plan etc But if he jip! Me its all good I got millions of designs n plenty fashion lines! Sure I can do a decent mount of money just on a couple shirts or 2! One guy did $211,000 on one T-shirt that was tied 2 the whole march stuff. I got a Jesus T that I know already gone b a best seller. I'm gone make it.
Yes all the information u took time 2 send me came in handy. Now I can adequately articulate y I'm cold. Thanks.
Have u tried babble 2 help u learn Portuguese? Maybe Zoom a friend? Maybe get a Portuguese penpal?
I'm confident u will make a wise choice that will assist u in ur goal!of personal fulfillment. Congrats in advance. I'm proud of u.
Wanted 2 learn Spanish 4 my daughter n 2 communicate effectively but think I'm gone have 2
focus on becoming fluent in text message!!! Njust Microsoft Word n all that stuff.
Crazy 4 all my so called manliness I'm socially an emasculated lil black boy! Often wonder how this gone play out in the whole dating thing! Maybe I need 2 stop thinking so much on finally having a chance 2 date!
After all I'm probably weirder than I imagine. Plus I'm 23 years behind everybody else! I don't know Prison messes with ur identity...
My bad that was my insecure side!
Thanks 4 looking up 2Bheard.com Sad they not around Love the business model they had, but god will bless me with a publisher! Technically BTB my publisher at the moment
Well my back starting 2 throb so gone lay down 4 a hot second, read a letter I got them get 2 writing, least 4 an hour. Can't publish a book that's not written. Meanwhile I believe in the power of this book 2 change lives as its about the saving grace of God n just the individual ness of the gospel. God bless the writing. Its easy 2 write just its plenty chapters! All short n 2 the point. God can save u. God is 4 u. God defends u. etc. Just a lot if research ! But I'm gifted 2 do it, so...
Lastly I'm this close 2 being in touch with my daughter!!!!
