Finished walking 6 miles at 8:30 AM, Walked 5.5 miles, and run 0.5 miles. Morning walk is always my favorite time, I enjoy the cool weather.

Luncheon menu: Tuna, salad, pudding, green beans, and punch. Talked to Doris at 11:00 AM: she sent the contacts for Pinole Senior Center and Meal on Wheels to Michael Santos to add it to my release plan. Diana was at the house with Doris to harvest the plants. Chris is really sick due to Covid and they will not be able to visit for a few weeks. kain and Mava will send their Visitation request by themselves. She inquired about the 2/3 time for elderly inmates. I told her I expect to be out sooner than that, possibly around Dec 2024 for home confinement. Counselor Reyes informed me that five new inmates will be joining us today, and I have to make the bed roll for them. Finished inmates’ laundry at 1:00 PM. Started washing Mops, rags, floor blankets, blankets, and sheets. 3:00 PM processed 5 new inmates and provided them with their bed rolls and BOP uniforms. Census count at 3:30 PM.
