After writing a grievance, the guards finally gave me and the other unclothed guys some pants and a shirt. Amazing the hoops that you have to jump through to get the most basic of tasks completed.
This morning it was announced that the lockdown had been lifted and were able to go to breakfast. I didn't go because I was tired from reading most of the night. We got a hot meal for lunch, too, after days of nothing but PB&J with raisins on the side. The best part about the return to normalcy (or what passes for normalcy) is the open field for soccer and running.
Unfortunately, there were not enough players for soccer so a few of us took shots on goal for a bit.
I felt the need to get at last some exercise in along with the absorption of vitamin D so I ran a little more than a mile. I had to stop due to a sharp pain in my left knee that was caused by either lounging too long while in lockdown, jumping down from my top bunk, or absent-mindedly banging the knee on a table, seat or bunk. I hope it heals soon.
