Hey Sex Kitten!
I just realizes something. I’m pretty sure I’m the only “English-as-a-first-language” person in here. Aside from the guard, I’m the only North American in here. Insanity. It’s time for lock-in before dinner, that means it’s about 2:55, give or take a few minutes, which is good because I’m hungry, and I don’t want to make ramen before dinner. Tonight, it’s Turkey Time! One small slice of turkey, powdered potatoes, small scoop of stuffing, and some gravy. Also, some boiled carrots. Gah. I broke down. I was very hungry. So I made a ramen ๐ I’m really trying not to eat two a day. I miss cooking with you.
I think they’re doing a hearts tournament down there. They’re all busy, and i’s very quiet down there. Why ca’t they be quiet like this at night? Hahaha OMG! I’ll be able to sleep tonight! I should have my sleep meds tonight. Sadly, they don’t provide ear plugs. Worth a shot though! So I’m totes hoping for a gooood sleep tonight ๐ I don’t think the commisary sells earplugs, but next time I have access to it, I’ll look. Couple more hours and I’ll be calling you. I can’t wait. I’m almost excited to go to sleep tonight, after hearing the news.
And, like that, BOOM! Another page is complete. I’m totes like a writer, fer sure dude!
One hour until lock-in. Thanks for the great conversation tonight. I live talking to your. So much. I’m going to read for a while. I’ll write more tomorrow, if not a little tonight. Usually I’ll write a little as the last thing I do before I go to sleep ๐ Kisses
Welp I think I’m just going to stand for 10pm count, and damn the noise, I’m going to try and sleep. I hope you have an excellent sleep my love. I’ll see you in my dreams, and I’ll talk to you tomorrow evening. Sleep well, love you

I don’t know if they cleaned last night, or if anyone made any noise, About 10:10 I couldn’t keep my eyes open at all. I crashed. Hard. I don’t remember covering my eyes or even really getting comfy. I. Was. Out. I don’t even think I dreamed last night. It was just black all night. I think it was a good sleep, but I’m not sure. I am sure it was a solid sleep. And solid is what I needed.
Watched a little CNN, man I know I say this a lot, but damn is the news getting very scary. They’re saying New York is pretty much the epicentre right now. Even scarier the totals jumped up during a commercial break. I did see Canada pulled out of the Olympics. Good for them. Safety first. So the warden’s town hall was a total joke. Basically wash our hands. He tottaly* didn’t want to be anywhere near us. As left as quickly as he could. Maybe in the unit for 10-12 minutes.
I’m sure he wanted to leave, when someone in the back yelled “just let us go! 2 other facilities have done that already.” I don’t think he’s even been in the same room with this many immagrents. So what we took away was wash our hands more. So I asked if we can get more soap. And we’re getting more.
Lunch was, well, sad. Tuna, cole slaw, 2 pieces of white bread. Now I’m not a fan of tuna, but I could’ve eat another sandwich. It just wasn’t enough. So I put in a request Friday or Saturday to get my own shoes back. The Capt. said he’d take care of it, so I’m trying to exercise patience, while he takes care of it. hahaha.
This letter is so far taking a long time to come together. I hope I’m not getting boring, or running out of things to say. I mean, I can only complain about the food for so long!!
Psst! I love you!
Holy shit, it’s snowing out! I hope the truck kicks ass in it. Be safe, princess. It’s been a day. Low energy day for me. A little bit of a headache, but I think that’s because slept like a rock. I can’t wait to call you tonight. I can’t believe I’ve only been able to write like a page and a half today. I’m slipping.
I’m lonely.
Well, that’s now been the first time I haven’t cleared my tray. There was cabbage – over-cooked cabbage. Small little square of “sheppard’s pie; now flavored with MEET! So all in all, a terrible, depressing dinner. Oh, have I mentioned that most people in here love sardines in spicy sauce, mackerel, and smoked oysters – all in pouches, all microwaves with instant rice. Please just shoot me.
I’m going to try my hardest not to cry when I call, but I can’t promise anything. It’s just been a day. Always starts off pretty ok, then just slides the darker it gets outside. And it comes and goes sometimes. I hope I can get the phone right away to call you. Although I really have nothing new to say lol gotta keep some stuff new when you read these letters!
I always feel better after talking to you, then taking a nice actually hot shower that randomly shuts off! Now with it being 8:30, just waiting for the medline to get here. Everything in its own time. It was supposed to get here at 8! Finally at 9:10, the med cart arrives. If I’m reading correctly upside down, it’s 50mg of benadryl and 5mg melatonin. Close I believe to what I was taking there. I hope to have another knockout night.
