Done with the tests. Well, I am all done with the tests so my days should be really free now.

I have got to establish some kind of schedule. I went to sleep before 10:00 PM last night but ended up awake at some point during the early morning hours, between 3:00 AM and 6:00 AM I think. Since I do not have any idea of time, I probably should figure out if I want to nap during the day or just sleep at night.

They move people out of here five days a week and I have no idea how many inmates this place holds. I know only that when I came in last Thursday, they had seventy-five new inmates.

Most days I have seen three to six or more inmates pass my window on the way to the Special Housing Unit (SHU), still walking in handcuffs, so I know new people come in every day.

I guess the good thing about being here is if you can get to see me. I thought it would be good for Mom and Dad too, but since they will be away for the next two months that will not matter. I guess that kills the five minute phone call too. So, it looks like you and me.

Do not panic, I will write to keep the files up to date and I appreciate any and all bits of time you can give. For your sake, my going to a State prison will be a good thing since once I get a typewriter, I can really handle not only neater letters to you but the blog will be less work for you.

They apparently have jail catalogues that show exactly those items we can buy. I figure if I can get something with at least some spellchecking and maybe a one-page memory, boy then I could really cook. So let us just wait and see.

I hope the New Year brings you some answers and stability in your life. Please do not think I am not constantly thinking of you and your job and its pressures. I would hope it gets fixed, but I have certainly learned that if life was that easy, everyone would get it right. I am always putting out the positive vibes and you are not something I am willing to toss around.

Hindsight is 20/20 and I am sorry I did not work harder at keeping our friendship alive. But now that we have covered a lot of ground, I am grateful for the opportunity to share. I know you feel it has been a lot of work on your side, and it has, but believe me, it is very worthwhile.

Someday, hopefully sooner rather than later, I will be out of here and who knows what we could accomplish together. The times we share now will form a strong foundation for any future involvement.

Well, for now that is all.

PS If you just scan and store these letters, look at all the work you can send me and keep me busy and out of your hair! Ha ha.
