In addition to the normal chaos in the Prison, we had our typical daily (it seems) winter storm roll through last night. Nothing major, just a few inches. Enough for a 2 hour delay for school, and enough to require shovels to be broken out again. Considering yesterday was a school holiday that was used as a makeup day, I shouldn't complain about a delay. At this point there may not be much left of summer vacation.
Overnight was a different story inside the prison. Complete chaos. 1&3 decided that they no longer wanted the contents of their stomachs and expedited the removal of contents through the same routes that it entered their bodies. It was like there were multiple exorcisms. Many times. While in bed. Little sleep for the Warden and Guard as it required middle of the night clothing changes, bedding changes and even a few baths. 79 loads of laundry and 2 sick prisoners for the day. And of course, #2 threw a 'it's not fair' fit when he learned he had to go to school by himself.
Becoming seriously concerned with the status of the prison roof due to ice dams in the gutters. Spent hours staring at (shouldn't my glare melt ice?), thinking about and researching how to make our gutters function again but I got nothing. Nearly a foot of snow on the roof and the gutters are starting to show the strain and the ice is even trying to rip them apart. I guess it could be worse because some of the neighboring prisons are in much worse shape. I just can't help but think about how all this snow will melt someday (I hope!) and end up in our basement or worse.
I guess this scene is pretty typical.
