I seem to have more energy since I went back to being a Mobility Guide and escort for the men who are sight-impaired and legally blind...
And because I no longer have to clean the showers in the mornings I have more time to read, write, and catch up on needed chores. Even in prison one's time can be in short supply.
Today, for example, I was not assigned to escort anyone. I was only required to be a "standby" on call if needed. However, because the cell block work crew has yet to find a willing worker to be a janitor for the showers, I volunteered to do it. So I came out of my cell at 8:45 this morning to scrub the showers even though I didn't have to. I just wanted to help out.
Later, after lunch, I then went to my second job assignment at the Intermediate Care Program. And when I was done here I returned at 3 o'clock to my own cell and I turned on my portable radio to listen to the New York Yankees play their first home game of the season against Kansas City.
I am listening to the game now. The Yankees are one of the few pleasures I have in life.
Tonight there is a worship service scheduled in the chapel. Thus I will have a full day.
