Hey Sexy!

Got about 50 minutes until lock-in. I just wanted to jot something down so you wouldn’t think I forgot about you tonight. I could never forget about you. You are the air that I breathe. You are the cream in my coffee. You’re my everything. I just did a very good deed. I spelt out a word for an older Spanish guy. He was so happy, he offered me a coffee – at 9:20 at night. Yes, people are making coffee for themselves as I write this! Crazy! I declined the coffee. The word was “humanitarian”. I said to him, I think this is how you spell it. Oh god, I hope I spelt it correctly.

Welp, I’m locked in for the night. I hope you have an excellent sleep, my lover. Dream of you and I camping in Grasslands and looking at the stars. I’ll do the same, and I’ll add some more sexy thoughts to the mix. I love you so much, my love. I can’t wait to talk to you tomorrow. I hope you have a great night, and an even better tomorrow. Don’t forget to snuggle the kitties for me. I hope when we’re settled that they remember me. Good night, my lover 💓

If I finish one more page with this pen, I’ll be happy! Good morning, my sweet! I hope you had a great sleep. I think mine was pretty ok 🙂 I’ve been up for about an hour. I’ve made my bed, had breakfast and coffee, cleaned and disinfected my room, and now I’m hanging out with the love of my life! I was worried last night that I wouldn’t fall asleep because I didn’t feel tired. I think it took about 65 minutes. I dreamed that we were camping and I brought poutine! The kitties liked to lick the gravy.

Made it about 40 minutes watching CNN. I feel bad for all the doctors out there, I worry for you every day. I’m worried about me here in this bubble. I miss you so much. I hope you enjoy your grabby hand dinosaur! And now you can social distance yourself a little more now too! This pen will never die, let’s try for one more sheet after this 🙂 Oh! I just thought, we might be able to find Grandville Isle Pale Ale…. Remember that? You also have to see if there’s a Canadian duty-free that I can shop at LOL – cheap whisky 😉

Another page in the books. Go, pen, go!

Let’s talk about sex, bay-be, let’s talk about you and me, let’s talk about all the good things, and the bad things that may be, let’s talk about sex… That’s the only lyrics I know LOL Trying to keep this light. Actually, I’m in a pretty ok mood this morning. And morning lock-in is almost here. Scratch that. I can’t tell time. I still have another hour before lock-in. I must be subconsciously hungry or something. We’re getting smaller in here. Thanks to my skills at reading, we’re down to 66 of us in here now, down from 68 yesterday or the day before. It’s crazy how unless you leave during the day, no one will notice that you’re gone.

I’ve been trying to think of all the Canadian food that I haven’t had in years. Hickory sticks. Poutine. Those are the only ones I can think of so far. It’s an ongoing thought cloud. And don’t you dare say “Canadian bacon”! One could say Tim Hortons, but I’ve heard their coffee has gone downhill. McChicken sauce, but who knows if that’s even still around.

Today on the black TV – Ghost. I know, I know. But a bit of a departure from the Rocky marathon from yesterday.

In other news, I was freezing, so after lunch I hopped in the shower. The water never got hot. I had a cold to luke warm shower. And now I’m colder than I was before I started. But on the plus side, I’m clean! And laundry came back, and I didn’t lose any items this time! Woot! Now I’m waiting for Raimundo to come on at 1 pm. Let’s see what she has to say. Distance learning for another month. I love you so much. Free hotspot wifi from the major cell providers until May 18th. I think it’s so awesome that these companies are helping out. I think this pen will only last till the end of this page. It’s getting lighter and lighter on the page.

I can not wait to call you this evening. I miss your voice. I need it to live. I get drunk on it. I love you so much, my princess. 💓 I’m enjoying a lazy day here. I feel as accomplished as one can in a place like this. I’ve eaten, cleaned, showered, and listened to some local news (gov’s press conference). It hasn’t been a bad day here. It would be better if we were in bed together. A LOT BETTER!

New page, new pen! OMG it’s so dark! It was getting harder and harder to push the pen across the paper. This is much easier for sure. What a difference!! I hope that you’re having a good day. It’s not too bad here. The guy that I was telling you about in the last letter, that was begging his girl for money, was back on the phone with her. I guess she didn’t transfer the money. Thank you again for the money. You rock! I did inventory – 6 stamps and 6 envelopes. With the money you sent I’ll be order stamps probably on Sunday for Tues/Wed delivery. I really like writing to you. Sometimes I struggle with what I’m going to write, sometimes I’ll write a sentence, walk around, and then write another one. It almost feel like I’m talk to you. And I really like that feeling. It’s probably why I’ll finish a letter, and right away, I start the next one. I’ll have to figure out Canadian stamps for when I’m in Canada to mail letters to you.

I’m trying not to think about the next court date, because when I do, I get scared. Working retail teaches you to keep your expectations low so you’re not disappointed. That’s pretty much what I’m doing. You’re the light at the end of my tunnel. I hope I’m deported soon.

It’s 4:15, and we’re out right now, waiting for dinner time. It’s ver lonely in here. Like high school, there’s cliques. I’ve never fit in with cliques. I can’t wait to call you. For 20 minutes, I don’t feel alone. I feel alive, and wanted. “You have 1 minute remaining”1 – and it all comes crashing back. You’re with me in my dreams. I know it, before I don’t feel alone when I’m asleep. I feel loved and happy and close to you when I’m asleep. I’m getting tired of social distancing. I want visits again. *kisses*

So I had the greatest of idea. I’d call you right now. It’s about 40 minutes until lock-in, I just ate, and all the phones are empty. I pick up, press 1, then 0, start to punch in my code, and they shut the phones off, as technically it’s dinner time right now. Well shit! Scratch that idea. Of course, I probably would have call you again anyways. I miss you so much. And even though I told you that you didn’t have to, I hope every time mail is brought in the unit, there’s one for me. And it’s ok if there isn’t one, your plate is more than full 🙂

Im still doing prtty ok. I think sleeping better is totally helping me cope a little better. It’s very hard though, and I know it’s just as hard, if not harder for you. I love you very much, and if I could be there I would. You’re the strong one now, I’m the one that cries. You got this baby, I know you do!! I’ve always known you’re he greatest in the world, I’ll bow down to you any time, any place. You’re my queen. I love you so much. I have about an hour and 20 minutes before I can call you. I’ve been waiting for this all day. ALL DAY.

You made me so happy! I love to chat with you! I’m glad you had a good day, even though it was a long one for you. The days always seem long when there’s not a lot to do. The time goes by relatively fast because most of the time I have my nose in a book, or I’m writing to you. And if the judge asks if I got the paperwork and if I haven’t, I’ll tell him that I haven’t. I wouldn’t lie to him.2 I think I might time this letter right and have me saying good night at the end, instead of the beginning! Let’s see if I can actually accomplish that feat! That means I have to write a page before I go to sleep. I think that I’m up to that challenge. Because I’m a righteous dude.

My brain is now mush. About 10 minutes ago there was a knock at my door. It was Russia, who is very nice. He wanted an English less from a native speaker. Past and future tense of words. I had to explain “were” to him. It was insane. I don’t think I’ve thought that hard since high school! He’s a very nice man. He gave me two Jolly Ranchers for my help 🙂 I was taken so off guard, for a few seconds I had no idea what to do. I wish I had a better grasp at English, and was a better teacher. There’s a John Saul novel down there, I’m not desperate enough to read it. If you’ve read one John Saul novel, you’ve read them all.

One more paragraph to go, and 45 minutes, can he do it? Can he do the impossible? I think I’m up for the challenge. I really did love our chat this evening. I hope your closing shift is easy and uneventful. But for now, I wish you the most excellent of sleeps as you snuggle the kittens and dream of me as I lay here dreaming of you. Kisses.

I love you so much 💗
