Still 3/14

Greetings my lover!

I decided (after I was in line – actually at a phone – forgot my code and had to leave) then got back in line (and was 5 people deep) that I wasn’t gonna call you. No offense, but I really gotta try and stick to M-W-F-S. I have to!

So I tried watching a movie. Thor: Ragnarok, the background noise is just too much, and the earbuds are crappy. But I do have to tell you that black people’s reactions are 100% stereotypical. 100%¹ It’s very very amusing. I’m going to try to go to sleep somewhat early, and hopefully get another good night’s rest. Fingers crossed for sure!

It’s 9:35 and I’m happy I didn’t call. It’s giving me something to look forward to. Would I have wanted to call? Fuck yes please. But now I’m (even more) excited to see you tomorrow.

3/15/20

Good morning! I believe I slept like the dead last night. Lemme keep sleeping like that please! I can’t wait to see you in a couple of hours it’s gonna be nice! I’m still have asleep here, and it’s close to breakfast. Chat soon 🙂

Just made some hot lemonade², cause it’s cold here, well, I feel cold at least. This’ll warm me up. Honestly, I like mornings here, they’re pretty low key and quiet, it’s nice. I like quiet.

Thanks for the great chat! I loved it. I figured it was time to go before we just started repeating ourselves, and just saying “I love you” over and over again. lol

I REALLY MISS MY WEDDING RING.

It’s like 7:30 and I’m ready for bed. I’m drained for sure. More mentally drained over physical, of course. I have to stay up until at least 10:30. I need to be mentally rested to talk to Capt. America. He intimidates me. I’ll try to write down everything he says.

You look FUCKING DROP DEAD GORGEOUS.

So today has been great. I got to see you. I got to hear you. You make my days great.

Just to let you know, John Grisham novels in the 2000’s are exactly the same as John Grisham novels in the 90’s. Exactly. Still an entertaining read. So I’m going to sign off on this letter, and not start a new one. Until tomorrow.

I love you so much

² I asked about the “hot lemonade” – is it really just hot lemonade or prison slang? “It’s like that hot, lemon-flavored cold medicine that you hate so much. I always had it when I was a kid, and it’s comforting. And it warms me up a little.” – editor
