I am in jail , serving time for shoplifting. Mom is coming to visit. I am thinking about volunteering. I haven't seen my mother in a long time, but I am seeing her soon. I do not read. I feel tired all the time. My life is stressful. There is a library near me.
I am reading a parenting book. I think self-help books can help struggling people. I like meeting new people. I am a museum tour guide. I am partly deaf. I can read lips.
The visit with my mom went great! I missed her so much! Thats great! it's been a long time! have you looked at any volunteer opportunities? I have been looking at some volunteering opportunities. If I volunteer in the garden I get to go outside a bit more. Wow, being in the garden will be a great opportunity to get some fresh air! It can be really stuffy being inside all day. And the idea of picking some vegetables and getting my hands dirty, really interests me. It definitely would be a worthwhile experience compared to your usual day. Do the vegetables get used in the kitchen there? Yes they do. One of the benefits of being inside is some home cooked vegetables. A cost is not seeing your mom. Do the home cooked meals help with your stress levels at all? I can't really tell. It's pretty stressful being locked up and the food's been this way since I've been here. Do you have any other activities besides volunteering to help with stress? No. Shouting at guards. Punching the walls. All these things help a little. Is there a library or anything near you so you can learn to or come to enjoy reading?
