Friday September 28, 2012 6:08am: Four more days and a wake up and I should be off D.C. Just finished making my bunk and cleaning my cell. I only got one letter last night from my mom. I'll write her. And spend the day reading. They may come down here today doing cell searches. I hope not, just because any time they come in my cell, I have to worry about them setting me up. These people are criminals who lack any kind of ethics. Well, I'm going to go through some paperwork and throw it away. And then either read or write.
7:51am: Well, I was told I've got to go over for photo updates. For the 5 year photos. For the FDOC website. I don't like this. I didn't want to leave my cell until I got off of D.C. But this is mandatory, so I've got to go get this done. I sure hope I don't get set up today. There's a real good chance that's what's fixing to happen. There's nothing I can do about it. I made sure there's nothing in this cell that's not supposed to be here. Well, I'm going to write a letter.
11:02am: Just got back from the photos. There was 33 of us going over there today. Only 7 at a time. So a new photo will show up on the FDOC website. Nothing crazy took place. Heard more crazy rumors. Not sure what to even believe. Sooner or later it's all going to come out. They listed me at 6'5", I'm not 6'5", I'm 6'4", weight is 210 pounds. Once I get from back here and get some food, I'll shoot back up to 230. I'm not even sure if I want to get back to that weight, or if I even want to work out any more. Right now I'm fixing to write a letter.
6:40pm: Just sitting here waiting to go to the shower. I finished reading White Fang by Jack London, and that was a damn good book! I really enjoyed it. They did cell searches this morning. One guy over on 5 Wing got caught with contraband. So he'll be coming down here Monday or Wednesday. I got a letter from my attorney today with a supplemental petition she filed in my death penalty case. And she done a good job on it. My thing is - is I don't really want a life sentence. I'd prefer they kill me than give me life. Ten years ago, I would have accepted a life sentence. Today - I'm just not interested. Slave labor until I die. I don't think so. Best thing they can do for me, and them - is kill me. Well, got to get ready for the shower.
8:30pm: Well, about to call it a night. I may sleep in tomorrow. I haven't done that in a couple of weeks. I'm hungry and will be glad to get to sleep so I can wake up in the morning to coffee cake and oatmeal. That's it for today. Hope to get some mail.

Saturday September 29, 2012 6:14am: Three more days to go. I ate breakfast about an hour ago. They still haven't picked up the trays. Soon as they do that, I'm going to decide on whether to get up, or go back to sleep. I did get a couple of letters last night, so that gives me something to do.
10:34am: Was reading this Western. I wrote a letter, and I'm fixing to write another one here shortly. We got about another hour till lunch. Be glad when it's here, I'm hungry. Was thinking about Ferguson earlier. He's got 18 days to live. I'm not sure if he has family or any support. Word is, is as soon as they kill him they're going to sign another warrant, a Spanish guy who's been here 20 years. I know of him, but I don't know him. Well, guess I'll write another letter.
4:50pm: Finished eating about 30 minutes ago. I wrote another letter, and then was reading this Western - which finally picked up. I hear guys on other wings cheering over football games. I'm going to try to go to sleep early. I didn't sleep good last night anyways. I was up at 3am.

Sunday September 30, 2012 7:05am: Breakfast didn't show up until 6:20. Really late, usually it's here at 5am. I've been up since 5 reading. I woke up last night at 12am with heartburn that was REALLY PAINFUL! Well, I'm down to two days to go. Really 72 hours. But the way we all count back here, we don't never count the day we're on. I don't know why or who started it, but it's always been like this as long as I can remember. Not sure what I'll do today besides read. I may write some things for the blog. Just try to find enough to do to pass the day away. Right now I'm fixing to clean my floor. I already made the bed. We don't have to make our beds on the weekend, but I like my cell to be neat.
4:46pm: Just finished reading "The Call of the Wild", that's a good book. We ate about 20 minutes ago. That was a rough meal. Salad, carrots, grits, cornbread and 2 slices of bologna. There's just not much there. I need to go to sleep early tonight. Well, it's been a long day. I wrote one letter. Finished that Western then Call of the Wild. Now I've got to figure out what to read next. I got a 5 short stories by Jack London, I'll probably start that. Or possibly go try some more of this Tom Clancy book. I'll probably need something to read Wed. + Thur. 'cause I may not get my property back till Thur., Fri. or even next week. They may give me the run around. They did that last year. Here we are - the last day of Sept.
6:21pm: I just wrote a blog "Females and Prison". I'm getting ready to put all of my mail on the door, lay back and do some reading and call it a day. Two days to go, my next Daily Journal Oct 1-4, hopefully when it's posted, you'll be told good news.
