Tomorrow will be a busy day. We're having our primary in North Carolina and still, I am not sure who I'll vote for. I'm leaning heavily in one direction, so that's probably who will get my vote. Lord, please let us elect a leader who can and will guide the country in the right direction...
I'll have to cast my ballot early because tomorrow starts 16 hours of training and the first class is from 8 a.m. - 6 p.m. We go through it every year, but DOC has increased our training hours. I was recently informed that I would have to have 40 hours now. Not sure how I'll get that, unless they want me to be certified, and that is a scary thought. Me on the firing range. I can't even draw a straight line, let alone hit a bullseye with a bullet. And if they pepper spray me, somebody had better be standing by to call 911.
The training is usually fun - it's a good break from the drudgery of prison and we get an entire hour for lunch. Can you imagine? I feel guilty taking the full 30 minutes. We get to see folks from other units. And hopefully, McCaskill from the hospital will be one of the instructors. He is a sweetie pie.
On Saturday, Lori inspired me to start yet another diet with a few additions - exercises. Reading her journal has really spurred me, she's doing so well. So thanks, Lori. You've put me on the right track. Now to just stay with it.
And now it's time to put Lacy to bed. She's already staring at me with doleful eyes because she's tired and won't go to bed without me. What a crazy little dog she is...but she's spunky and is good company. Makes it hard to understand people who abuse an animal.
You all have a great rest of the week and be good to yourselves.

Wishing you a good week too. That is sooo cute that your doggie won't go to bed without you. Paula
lacy sounds sweet. Have a good wish as well.
Pickles is the same way, although she is being a brat lately and doesn't want to come in from outside. She absolutely loves being outdoors with the nice weather. (Hugs) Indigo
JUST AIM STRAIGHT, CLOSE YOUR EYES, PULL BACK ON THE TRIGGER, AND PRAY YOU DONT SHOOT YOURSELF!!!!!LADYBUG
Oh..I am still holding my breath on your state's primary....I want Hillary to win so bad. We are still screwed here in Florida, even though she carried the state they will not do the right thing about our votes. It is very frustrating. Good luck on the training, don't worry about shooting a gun..they would teach you how anyway. I've shot a rifle, but not a pistol yet...Joe keeps pushing me to go to the range with him...I just don't like all the noise & smoke.....take care...love, Sandi
And here I so support Barack Obama.
But, the important thing is that you COULD vote, and it was for the person of YOUR choide. Yes, dear Lord, help us elect a good leader....
May your addition of exercise be good for you. It usually is for people:)
Hope your training went well. I haven't shot a gun since I was 12. If you do have to shoot, keep your eyes open and your feet planted in a steady stance. Good luck with that. Have a great rest of the week.
Smiles, Leigh
Sorry I'm getting here so late. Hope the traing and the rest of the week went well!

Wow! I inspired you??? That makes me feel good -- I feel guilty now because I haven't done my squats today. I guess I'd better go do them now. Your training sounds rather run, actually. Do you really have to train with a weapon? It sounds interesting. Sorry I'm so late getting by here. I don't think I really read any journals at all last week!
