Finished walking after breakfast. Walked 5.5 miles and ran .5 miles, total of 6 miles for today. The walk felt good, no pressure to do any inmate laundry, maybe some mops and rags later. The sun felt good on my skin and the rabbits and squirrels were begging for food. The animals at Atwater camp depend on inmates to feed them with food scraps. Stretched and practiced some Yoga breathing and stretching too. Washer a load of clothes for Felipe. Completed the load at 11:00 AM. Called Doris at 11:05 AM: She felt depressed because she could not sleep. I told her to take naps in the afternoon, as it might help her regain some sleep. Her eyesight is improving albeit if she has to use corrective lenses. She will have a show at Pinole Senior Center tomorrow from 8:00 AM – 3:00 PM, Francis will help her load and unload her merchandise. Washed two loads of mops and rags at 11:30 AM. Completed drying Mops and Rags at 1:00 PM. Census count at 3:30 PM. AAPI had a going away Stromboli party for Chad and Jon’s Birthday around 3:40 PM, it was a very good dinner, I ate too much.
