Dear Mimsie,

Hi Sweety... how are things? i hear you have discovered the mouse that has been living there in the house. be nice to the mouse, Mimsie, it doesn't eat much. it's the big dog that you need to worry about! i understand she's been eating your food - among other things...... i should think that one big whap with your claws would take care of that! but anyway......

i'm 1/2 moved in. i had Rich's blazer for most of last week and the weekend.... i just couldn't get things done. i know it's the depression that gets me, Mimsie, but, i just couldn't get it all done. Gramma Jean (my Mom) isn't very happy about the fact it didn't get done... but, i assured her that it's ok with the landlords because they have to do work in the apartment anyway and wouldn't be renting it until they were through. so..... no biggy. still, i was pretty down after talking to her (and my dad) on the phone lastnight. i hate it when she gets that way. Grampa Van (my Dad) emailed me this morning to say he was sorry she seemd so angry.... he reminded me that she's just that way sometimes. i know she is.. ...... ... i just wish i could convince her that what i am doing right now is wearing me VERY thin but, i keep trying.

*that would be an impossible task*

D sent another of his journals, the noise. it's good - of course.... i also opened up a section called 'from a friend' that has all of his stuff in it. it's not nice to say but, it is a good feeling to know that i'm not the only one who stresses out like i do.

i missed group today because i didn't feel well. it's 11:30pm and i still don't feel so great. Upset stomach - headache.... the doctor put me on Lithium a week or so ago... i don't think i'm drinking enough water. If that's not the reason i don't feel well then i'm not sure what it would be.... unless it's just the stress from moving and trying to tie up loose ends everywhere.... ICK!

i should go to sleep babe. i miss you! i miss your soft fur and cuddling! but.... i'll be better soon.... Rich keeps telling me that this is TEMPORARY! so...... let's hope.

kisses for you...... me
