Dear Rich

                                                                            April 8th, 2023 Dear Rich,    Another day. Another dollar. 13 days left until court. I called my mom this morning and talk to her, at least, Joe, Joe, and my aunt Lisa. The whole Pham Bam. So that was really nice. I wish I was out shopping with them. Hopefully, soon. There’s not a lot to do today, so I’m back in the phone line. I’m going to try to call Erica; I know that tuyl is supposed to be at a wedding all day today – but update: I couldn’t get through to Erica and did get through to Jule. So I’ve made my phone calls for the day and can go back to my book. I’m about halfway through.   Update on camouflaged J-Catt, Isaiah: he is still here, and the scent is still as “fresh” as can be. Sad day for the rest of...

                                                                            April 7, 2023 Dear Rich,  Happy good Friday! 14 more days or 2 Weeks until court and hopefully finally some answers. Today is also my Sweet mom’s birthday! She already told me that you messaged her. I talked to her last night since she’s working all day. I talked to Jule this morning and she got some more letters to post – so hopefully you’ll see those soon. This morning has kind of been crazy. I guess they’re really starting to crack down on the rules. A deputy came into the day room at like 9 AM and gave us all “by the book” rules that we have to abide to. Other than not being allowed to work out in the dayroom, nothing really changes for me. You know I’m a brown Noser rule follower. Lol. But some of these guys are goi...

                                                                         April 6th, 2023  Dear Rich,    Hello my love. I hope you’re having a good day. I tried punching in the phone number you gave me just for “shits and giggles” to see if it would work, but of course it didn’t. At least no one can say that I don’t still try. 15 Days until court. We’re getting there babe… Slowly, but surely. I was able to talk to Marissa this morning – so that was really nice to catch up with her and hear her voice. Sounds like she’s doing great in good ok’ Texas; working at Sephora and living her best life. I’m still so so glad and grateful that she was there for all of the trials and was able to first hand witness everything that was said in case anyone had any doubt about anything. She will be my ride or...

                                                                          April 5th, 2023 Dear Rich,    16 Days until court. It feels like I was just saying 32 and 31 days. So writing the number 16 put a small smile on my face. I was able to get into the phone line and call my mom and have her relay to John what the probation officer said I needed. So hopefully that will soon be under wraps. I returned some responses to the letters I got to the peoples addresses I have, so they should be delivered soon, and of course, trying to “truck through” this book. It’s so good, but so so detailed and long. But it helps to make the time pass. I am anxiously awaiting my visit at 3 PM with Tracy and Jule. I will write about that when I get back. I’ve also been trying to memorize the words to the song I’m sin...

                                                                           April 4, 2023 Dear Rich,    17 days until court. Another day down to check off. Still no word from the probation officer. I’ll have my mom check in with John at the end of the week if I still don’t hear anything. Last night was pretty uneventful – not even any “roaching” took place. Oh!! Because rumor has it, that a fight broke out next to us, and they needed “all hands on deck.” so we were forced to “bunk up” for the night around 8:30 PM apparently, went bad fights happen before the deputies can go in and break it up, they shoot little “pepper spray balls” into the day room, causing the fighters to cover their mouths and eyes. Well – the pepper spray lingers, and starts to come through our vents. Yikes! So we were a...

                                                                         April 3, 2023 Dear Rich,   Good morning my love. I got an early start this morning, so I thought I should start by saying hi and telling you how much I love and miss you. I hope you had a good birthday yesterday, I’m almost positive you spent most of the day in bed recovering from the night before. Am I right? Or am I right?  LOL. 18 Days until court. The days are slowly but surely passing by. So I learned that Monday mornings are our “mail days”. This morning I got letters from Maryland, my mom, Melanie, and Ahnie; and both Melanie and my mom sent me some actual printed photos. I instantly started bawling, looking at the pictures of the dogs, Scott and Ahnie’s wedding, and some great photos of us and Hawaii with Melanie, J...

                                                                          April 2, 2023 Dear Rich,   First of all, Happy, Happy Birthday!  I am beyond devastated that I cannot call and talk to you today. I hope you were able to take the day off and either relax, and/or recover from last night. We just had our clothing exchange. Every Sunday. So we got to go outside and experience sunlight for a few minutes. I am currently waiting in the phone line to call Kylie Koo. 19 Days until court. I’m starting to get stressed and scared, but trying to stay positive and hopeful. I think I’m just a little extra down today, knowing that it’s your special day and I’m stuck in here without being able to talk to you. It’s OK – hopefully this will be the last birthday we have to spend apart.   Just did my wo...

                                                                          April 1, 2023 Dear Rich,    I can’t tell you how happy it made me to write April at the top of this letter. 20 Days until court and hopefully some definite answers. April 1st. “April Fools Day” Ineed. LOL.    Nothing to eventful so far today. I talked to my Mom this morning and she was with my Aunt and JoJo. So it was nice to hear all of their voices.   Listening to the banter between all of the boys in here throughout the day, is like listening to a group of elementary kids, trying to see who can play the lamest joke on one another. An argument broke out today, because someone kept pushing the sink buttons and flushing the toilet, hoping it would cause whomever was in the shower at that given moment to have...

                                                                    March 31, 2023 Dear Rich,    Hello my love! I woke up feeling more chipper and hopeful today. Last day of March! And exactly 3 weeks or 21 days until court.    I just had my visit with Marilyn. It was so good to see her! We talked and talked about everything and about nothing. I actually felt normal for once like we were on the phone talking about the latest hot gossip. She also told me that she sent me a letter, so looking forward to that. Funny story, remember when I was telling Marilyn about Cody? He’s a good looking white guy in my bunk area… Well today a miracle of miracles happened. My visit with Marilyn was at the same time as Cody’s visit with his sweet Mom!! So they got to see each other and I guess “meet” through the thick ...

                                                                    March 30th, 2023 Dear Rich,    Hello my love. I miss you. 22 days until court. One day closer. Something weird happened this morning. They called my bunk number over the intercom and asked me to come to the sliding door. I thought maybe it was time to talk to my probation officer. So I quickly got up, got dressed and ran to the door. By the way, at this point, it was like 8am. The deputy came on the speaker and said, “Sean?” I said, “yes…?” He says, “Do you want to see the nurse?” to which my confusion took over and replied with, “ummm… do I NEED to see the nurse? Is something wrong with me?!?” He said, “No-just asking if you would like to see her.” I then said, “Oh… I think I’m okay, but thank you for asking…?” “Okay. No problem.” What? The c...

                                                                        March 29, 2023 Dear Rich,   Hola! From the West Hollywood Hills of dayroom #4. What a date has been already. So much to discuss. But first, I love you and I miss you so much. 23 days until court. Still no word from the probation officer, but I’m sure she’s busy and will find a time to see me soon. I sent Jule another set of letters last night so hopefully you see those in a few days time.   So I volunteered to do extra work around the jail if they needed it. Apparently, they always pick people from my dayroom to help with things like clothing exchange, cleaning crew, and things like that. Well, this morning they picked me and I am officially a part of the cleaning crew. What. A. Job. The cleaning crew goes into the unimaginable “...

                                                                March 28th, 2023 Dear Rich,    As each day passes by, I try to be more and more hopeful about coming home. I do have to admit that traveling along side with hopefulness does, comes a fair share of sadness, stress, and despair.  I am really really trying hard to stay as positive as I can, but some days, the empty void that was once occupied with phone calls with you, playing with the dogs, working at the salon, gossiping with friends, shopping trips, adventures at a theme, park, dancing; are filled with loneliness and depression. I’m not writing this to make you or anyone else for that matter. Be sad or feel bad for me, I just promised I would be truthful and honest. Although there have been some laughable, funny moments in here, I am ready to be home. ...

                                                                      March 27th, 2023 Dear Rich,   “ when I’m stuck with a day, that’s gray and lonely, I just stick up my chin, and grin and say, oh; the sun will come out tomorrow…” I woke up, feeling a little down and really missing you, everyone and everything. I hid myself under my sheets and blanket, and whispered those words of that stupid, cheesy song from Annie again, and it worked. I got up and started writing you. 25 Days until court. I’m trying to stay as positive as ever.   I just got a letter from my mom. It had a few more phone numbers so now I can add a few more people into my rotating phone calls. She’s trying to organize my visits this week on Wednesday and Friday. God bless my mom. Not too much of an eventful day today. Very mellow. Very....

                                                                     March 26th, 2023 Dear Rich,    What a Sunday it has been so far. Lots to discuss. 26 Days until Court. One day closer to a hopeful possibility to coming home. Man, I miss you so much, it truly is unbearable. When I need to go to my “happy place.” I close my eyes and imagine sitting on the couch with you watching Schitt’s Creek, and the dog sitting part between and part on top of us. My sweet Stolu Boli and my Brandy Bean. I can’t wait to hold them again.   A little change of scenery today. We had what they call “clothing exchange”. We have to strip our beds of the sheets and along with those, take our socks, T-shirts, boxers, and towels, and put them in a pile. Actually sans the boxers we keep those on. We then put our orange pants ...
