The morning started out dark, overcast but cool, in the high 40’s. As the morning got lighter, it was evident the sky was overcast with thick clouds, it was gray all over. The sun only lit up portions of the cloud on its path. The rabbits were grazing on the field but the same rabbit was hanging out by the basketball court. Completed walking 6 miles at 7:50 AM, in 1 hour 15 minutes and 44 seconds. Average walking times were: 12 minutes 38 seconds per mile (milla) or 51 seconds per lap (vuelta). Stretched and split stretched at the basketball court until 8:20 AM. Cleaned the computer room. Washed my sheets and blankets. Secretary Mrs. Chavez informed me that two new inmates will be joining us today and on Monday we will four more from the bus and three more self surrenders. I told her to call CO Zalenski or Turner for more mattresses. Had some crackers and bananas for snacks. Checked and replied to Doris’ email: Doris is well and she had a good night rest. She walked 6441 Steps, 14.8 Inches step length and symmetry was 85%. I congratulated her for closing the ring for the 32 nd consecutive days and she was confident that she will close it again tonight, as it is a routine for her. She still feels wobbly when she tries to walk a straight line. I told her to use her cane to brace herself if she need to. She was going to CVS to pick up her eye drops. I told her to charge it to my credit card. Showered and changed to BOP uniform. Finished my laundry: blankets and sheets. Talked to Doris at 10:00 AM: Doris is well and she had a good sleep and felt refreshed today. She will be going to CVS to pick up her prescription with Diana. I told her to charge it to my credit card. the dogs are well and they are lazing on the couch after chasing the squirrels. I congratulated her for walking 6441 steps, 14.8 Inches step length and symmetry of 85%. She felt confident with her walking and closing the ring as a daily routine. She is a little wobbly when she tries to walk in a straight line. I suggested that she use her quad cane to brace herself if needed. The cleaners are coming by to clean the house today. She enjoyed the GSW / Lakers game last night. She will watch the GSW /Hornets game tonight. I told her we will have two new inmates joining us today.
