Oh dear, my sweet Jodie, I feel wobbly today. I've a sore throat, a woozy head and a stuffy nose. I'm drinking hot liquids and lots of water, getting sleep, but these next few days will be trying. And I'll admit, I'm a bit nervous about sentencing coming up on the 10th. Most inmates do get jumpy because its the biggest uncertainty of any prisoner, the sentencing!
