The morning started out dark, drizzly, cloudy and cold -54 degrees F. The lower atmosphere was cloudy except for a clearing over the Sierras in the Southeast. The autonomous car company was not testing their cars today. The rabbits were grazing on the soccer and baseball fields while Labrona and family were grazing by the near the basketball court. The dawn sky consisted of red band of haze in the clearings over the Sierras and analogous colors radiated out of the suns path and dark gray clouds. As the morning progressed, it started drizzling. After breakfast the drizzle stopped, continue walking after the rain stopped. As the sun rise over the Sierras, the sun rays radiated out of the clearing. As the sun ascended it was shielded by the clouds. As the morning progressed the clouds parted in the mid sky and clearing of blue sky was visible. The weather was supposed to clear up by noon. Completed walking 6 miles at 8:20 AM, in 1 hour 13 minutes and 57 seconds. Average walking times were: 12 minutes and 20 seconds per mile or 2 minutes and 4 seconds per lap. Stretched and split stretched at the basketball court until 8:50 AM. Talked to Doris at 8:50 AM: Doris is well and they are on their way. Their ETA was 10:30 – 11:00 AN. Showered and changed to BOP uniform at 9:00 AM. Lunch was served at 9:30 AM. Luncheon menu: burritos, shredded chicken, rice, corn, black beans, apple and water. Census count at 10:00 AM. They had to recount at 10:15 AM because they could not reconcile the count. Checked email from Doris at 10:30 AM: Doris is well and rested. She walked 8790 steps, 16.5 inches step length and symmetry was 7.9 %. Yesterday was the 272nd consecutive days she closed the ring on her iPhone. She is visiting me today. Christina will pick her up at 8:00 AM. Her ETA is 10:30 – 11:00 AM. Doris arrived at the visitation room at 11:00 AM: Doris is well and rested. She had to wait until the count was cleared before they let her into the visitation room. We had Dr Pepper, Kit Kat, crunch, potatoes chips and water for snacks. No update on BOP website on my release date, probably in the next few days. I told her that Mr Larsen recommended me for half way house for April 2025. But he also recommended Home Confinement if the RRM deem and approve it. That will be good news if the RRM approves it. But we will have to wait to see if they accept the recommendation. Quang had made arrangements for me to get out on December 2, 2024, so he will have to postpone it until April 2025. I told her about our reentry open house, it was to help us answer questions about half way house, home confinement and other issues. She liked my EBRR Class report on Traumatic Stress and Resiliency. I will be taking the second part of the course beginning next Friday. Geok and Coos are busy with the twins until January 2025.Doris had an agreement with Fatima to bring her to her Doctor’s appointment when she is not busy. The CO for visitation was CO Saldana from Dublin. He will be in Atwater for a couple of weeks. Kein will bring Doris to the Temple next week, when he is not busy. He will also stop by the house to harvest some Persimmons and figs. She has am appointment with Dr Jasmine Lee next week for check up and medication for allergy season. She will have her covid, flu and another shot next week at CVS. She updated me on our household bills. She asked if BOP is coming to check the house again if I am granted Home confinement, I told her they will inform me when the time comes. Doris left the visitation room at 2:35 PM. We now have 11 more visitation before my half way house date. We had a very good visitation. Census count at 3:30 PM. Dinner was served after the count.
