GOOD MORNING TO ALL. I RETURNED HOME SAFELY LATE LAST NIGHT. TODAY IS UNPACKING AND CATCHING UP ON CHORES. FINALLY ON THE PHONE WITH STERLING AND IT IS SO GOOD TO HEAR HIS VOICE. HE SAID SADLY MANY UNITS IN STAFFORD CREEK ARE ON LOCKDOWN DUE TO COVID OUTBREAKS, INCLUDING GRANDPA GUS'S UNIT WHICH ALSO HAS STERLING'S TEACHER, SO NO CLASSES FOR PAST WEEK AND A HALF. ALSO, STERLING'S UNIT IS ON QUARANTINE DUE TO POSSIBLE EXPOSURE SO AS OF YESTERDAY, ALL VISITS HAVE BEEN SUSPENDED TO THOSE IN HIS IMU UNIT TAKING THE CLASSES. SO SADLY, I HAD BREAK THE NEWS TO SHELLY IN CASE SHE DID NOT SPEAK TO STERLING BEFORE FRIDAY , YES I WILL BE STINGY WITH HIS CALLS THIS WEEK. HOPEFULLY IN A FEW WEEKS, THINGS WILL BE BACK TO SEMI NORMAL AND VISITS WILL RESUME IN SOME MODIFIED FASHION. DUE TO UNITS BEING ON QUARANTINE, STERLING IS NOW BEHIND ON HIS CLASSES AND WILL TAKE LONGER TO COMPLETE. HE SAID SEVERAL UNITS OVER AT WALLA WALLA ARE ON QUARANTINE AS WELL. HE HAS HEARD SOME RUMBLES ABOUT MONROE, BUT MANY ARE BEING TIGHT LIPPED ABOUT WHERE ALL THESE INMATES WILL BE RE-HOUSED. AS OF TODAY, BLAKE STILL HAS NOT HEARD ABOUT HIS REASSIGNMENT, BUT IS TRYING TO BE AS PATIENT AS POSSIBLE. I AM GLAD EVERYONE ENJOYED THE VACATION PICTURES. I AM HOPING TO SCHEDULE ANOTHER ONE FOR EARLY APRIL TO VISIT OUR FRIEND IN UTAH AND REBOOK MY TRIP TO ARCHES AND ZION NATIONAL PARKS. NOW THAT I AM HOME, I AM GOING TO FOCUS ON OPENING THE BANK ACCOUNT FOR THE NON-PROFIT SO THAT CAN BE UP AND RUNNING. STERLING ALREADY HAS ONE CHILD HE HAS FOCUSED ON TO HELP OUT WITH A GYM MEMBERSHIP SO HE CAN COMPLETE SOME MARTIAL ART CLASSES TO KEEP HIM FOCUSED. HIS FATHER IS INCARCERATED AND THE MOTHER STRUGGLES FINANCIALLY. STERLING AND I ARE SO EXCITED TO MAKE HIS DREAM COME TRUE TO HELP CHILDREN IN NEED. EVERYONE HAVE A GREAT DAY, I HAVE A LOT OF LAUNDRY AND CHORES TO DO BEFORE RETURNING TO WORK TOMORROW. BE SAFE AND BE WELL, WE SEND OUR LOVE TO ALL.
