hello everyone!

I just wanted to let you all know I'm still here :) I haven't written in a while because I got busy with things. My son is doing great! He's got 2 years 7 mos. to go yet, but he got transferred to a beautiful work camp up here. He was sent there because of good behavior and low security level. I see him 3 times a year - he's 4 hours closer to me now!

Back when I was writing a lot I couldn't get out of my extreme sadness about the situation, but I somehow pulled out of it. Thank you all for your support back then. I will keep writing but not very often because of being SO busy.

Hope all is well !!!

I've been thinking a lot about what will happen when my son gets out of prison, like what kinds of rules are there. Will he have to live on his own, or with other people, or...?

Glad to hear things are going great and the situation is better! I agree, with time, it seems easier to get busy and not dwell. Glad your son is in a better environment.

As far as getting out, I think that is an area that isn't touched on enough as I've been finding out. Keep us posted when you can! HUGS!

I as so glad to hear that your son is doing better and in a better place. That always makes it a little easier. Not sure about the getting out part. We are torn between the halfway house or just coming home. And my daughter will be on probation for a few years after she gets out. Don't know all the details either, a lot of questions about it all too. Please take care and visit when you can, love and hugs, sharon

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
