Thank You
I just want to start off by saying thank you to everyone for their concern. I really appreciate it, and you. I’ll be okay, I really will.
Bah Humbug
Not feeling very Christmas-y this year. Even before yesterday I really wasn’t feeling the season. Haven’t really had much of a Christmas for a few years. It’s okay though, I don’t really mind, I don’t feel like I’m missing much. Maybe in the years to come I’ll get more of a holiday spirit or whatever, but for now, meh.
Yesterday
So I keep thinking about yesterday (how can I not?) and I really want to know more about what happened. Obviously I can’t find out from The Boy so I’ve been trying to find anything I can online. I can’t even find him on any sort of inmate or court docket search. There’s so much I don’t know and I really want to.
All my information is second hand, coming from people back in Atlanta. This is what I do though, I try to find out what I can. I remember when I was a kid, we had a dog who died mysteriously and I tried to investigate. I like information, I like to know things, that’s how cope with hard times.
Would you look at that, seems that’s actually a defense mechanism called Intellectualization. Yeah, after reading that I feel like it describes me pretty well. Now I’m going to end up going down this rabbit hole for a while. . . Or maybe not. So much conflicting information, I’m not going to change so I guess I’ll just let it be.
What’s Next
I’ve had a few people ask me what I’m going to do so I felt I should address that. Really, there’s nothing I can do. Not just because I’m thousands of miles away in a different country. I couldn’t even begin to afford a lawyer. The only reason I was able to help him the last time he was arrested is because I had just gotten money from my father’s estate.
I don’t really even have a way to contact him. Even if I could, I have no idea what I’d say. I’m still not going to go into details, but it’s so bad that I don’t think I even want to get in touch.
Research
After a lot more digging (I just can’t stop myself) I still haven’t found anything new out about what happened. I was able to find something to suggest his probation was actually revoked months ago. No idea how that could happen without him being put in jail immediately. Mind you, that’s likely only tangentially related to his current incarceration.
After much looking I was able to confirm for myself that he is in prison in Virginia. I still cannot find any sort of real information beyond that. I can’t find any court records or anything. It’s likely that has to do with the holiday.
Merry Christmas
I decided to send him some money. Not a lot of money but still more than I would have spent on a Christmas present for him. From what little I know of prison, having at least a little money to use at the commissary is important, especially early on.

Today’s featured image is a unique phenomenon in my bathroom. The way the light comes in at certain times of day creates a rainbow effect on the wall that I enjoy.
