Sunday
“Unstoppable” is playing on the radio. I slept most of the day. It’s surprisingly cold out today. I didn’t call Motorcycle today. At least I took a shower. I didn’t bother yesterday. Daisy says she’s going to request to be moved to another unit. I can’t imagine what I’m going to do without her. She’s the only one I talk to. She can’t stand anybody, especially Burgundy, who she pretends to like. I wonder if she pretends to like me. She can’t stand the neighbor cube either, who are very loud and obnoxious. I can’t stand Burgundy either. She was laughing about stealing people’s credit cards yesterday. Then in the next breath, she’ll be talking about how she’s changed so much for the better and she’s a different person since being in prison. I read the stuff I wrote on Friday to Daisy yesterday, which was a mistake. It seemed to make her completely miserable. She seemed to agree with me, but the more she talked about it, the more hateful she got. I’m afraid I’m dragging her down into my pit of misery and despair.

The rumor is that Library is going to be cancelled for the next two weeks. Of course, Daisy and I are on the schedule to go tomorrow. I’ve had the same books for two weeks, since I missed last week. I’m reading, “The Hot Zone” by Richard Preston about the origins of the Ebola virus. Turns out it came from humans keeping too many animals–monkeys–in confined and unnatural environments. Same as HIV, SARS, Avian Flu, Swine Flu, Mad Cow, COVID, etc., etc., etc. Will humans ever learn??
Another book I picked up today off the Unit is called “The Seat of the Soul” by Gary Zukov. © 1989. It’s about the spiritual evolution of the human race. I’m not sure we’ve evolved…I would be more inclined to say we’ve devolved since the ‘80s. Humans are mostly idiots, I tend to think. At least the majority of the ones I’ve met are. Think: People dying in droves from a preventable virus because they refused to wear masks or get vaccinated…Maybe the stupidity is focused on the United States…this makes me very worried about the Westernization of the globe.
