to see me. They enjoyed getting pets and scratches. I watched the news then took a shower. I left Sue’s door open. I think the fur balls will get a kick out of playing in Sue’s room. I wonder if I could bring them in to the hospital. I have to ask to be sure. I’m working tomorrow.
Yours,

Dear Anne,
I arrived at work on time to find the power was off. I sat in the break room waiting for the power to go on. Anna wasn’t in a good mood. She seemed upset. I guess it was the power off. I went with Anna around the store. The power came back on. It put Anna in a good mood. Work was fine. I cleaned both children’s and women’s departments. Sue was still out in the hospital. I brought my own food. I remembered to take my pills at the correct time.
I saw Anna. She seemed annoyed. Anna wasn’t in a good mood. The power went out again. It went out during my break time. I had a flashlight I found on the table to use to write with. I’m not very happy with the power going out. The power was still out. I don’t have much to do. The employees were in the break room waiting for Anna. She was on the phone talking to the power company. I’m surprised that there are power companies. The power came back on at the end of my break. I’m glad about that. Work was not fine. Due to the power outage, several customers shoplifted. I’m annoyed that happened. We caught three people trying to leave the store with items in their hands. Anna says the cameras run on a different generator. So we can see who shoplifted and charge them with a fine for that. I was glad my shift ended. I can’t wait to see Sue. I walked home and fed the fuzzies. They were excited to be fed. I hope I won’t work overtime. I hope not. I planned to visit Sue so I could talk to her. I’m upset that she tried to kill herself. She’s expecting a baby. I walked to the hospital. Sue was up in her room staring at the wall. I got her attention. We signed a nice conversation. We talked about the baby. The baby is fine. I stayed for an hour with Sue. Then I walked home. At home I watched the news. The news say tomorrow is going to be a pretty day. Oh I better go to bed. Good night.
Yours,
Elizabeth

Dear Elizabeth,
My journal went missing again. I wasn’t able to write in it for a few days. I also missed the opportunity to talk about what happened on Saint Patrick’s Day which was on the seventeenth yesterday. It was an interesting day. I got up at a normal hour on seventeenth. The sixteenth went fine. Anna called me on that day to tell me that there was no work the next day due to a holiday, called Saint Patrick’s Day. On the Seventeenth I got up and the ghost led me to the attic to something covered in plastic. I took the plastic item and put it in the bedroom. The ghost made me open it. Inside was a green dress sort of a fancy type like the plain medieval dress I wear. It was really weird. I put it on and then the ghost led me outside where Bruce was there dressed in green tights and a tunic. We stood staring at each other as ropes were tied around our right hands binding us together while in the whiteness of the fog surrounding us. I stared at his eyes as he stared back at me. We both seemed out of it. Then for some reason I kissed Bruce on the lips and he kissed me back. It felt so right. I wanted to have sex with him right then and there but then the white wolf came and pulled off the ropes off our right hands with its’ teeth and then we were separated and I was led back to the house where I was put to bed. I also felt the ghost take a picture of us and the dress I was wearing. It was weird and I felt out of my mind like I was in a dream.
Today I woke up at a really early hour. I woke up when I felt a cat land on my back. It scared the living out of me. I’m annoyed about that. I went back to sleep. The clock woke me up. I fed the cats. I think they were hungry. Maybe that was why they woke me up. After the news I walked to work. I walked to work. The power was off again. I was annoyed about this. Several people tried to shoplift. It was irritating. I had short fifteen-minute breaks at noon. Anna told me to leave the store. There was a bomb. I left my journal in my locker I think and wasn’t able to get to it until later. I discovered it appeared that some people were reading it. While outside with the police I saw my journal lying open in a cop car. I was annoyed. When I went to ask for it Anna hauled me away as the bomb squad came. They found the bomb and disabled it. The police have no idea that left it there. The power came back on. Anna wasn’t in a good mood. She was really annoyed about what happened. What an annoying day but excitement too. I get to have two days off after tomorrow. I cleaned both women’s and children’s areas. I felt overwhelmed. It was hard work. I was glad my shift ended. I walked home. It was snowing outside. The snow was okay not to hard just soft. I didn’t stick my tongue to taste the snow I had to work in the women and children’s clothes. Several people signed to me. They asked about Sue. I told them she was in the hospital. I didn’t tell them she was in there for depression. They think she is having problems with the baby. It was too much for me to work two areas. I got overwhelmed when I had to clean both areas. I took my break at twelve. I ate an apple. The customers signed to me. Anna seemed annoyed. I had some fruit for snack. I can’t wait to learn how to drive. I also can’t wait to teach a class. I hope Sue can afford the hospital stays. I don’t think we have insurance. The last time I stayed in a hospital was for sickness by the madman. It was the second time I stayed in the hospital. I walked home after work. I fed the kittens then I ate some dinner. I watched the news then I walked to the hospital. I saw Sue. She was a little bit better. The baby is doing fine. She and I talked about the baby and her hospital stay in the hospital. I’m hoping that she’ll be out by tomorrow. I told her about staying in the hospital for depression before the sickness. Sue was surprised I didn’t tell her that. I told her I was embarrassed about this. I walked home in the dark for I wasn’t able to get a cab. I did call the cab company on the video phone but the lady told me glaringly that the cabs were out. I had a feeling that she was lying but I decided to walk home instead. It was scary walking home. My imagination went wild. I imagined people sitting in trees. I kept looking behind me because I had this sensation of someone putting their hands on my shoulders. I felt like I was guided towards home. I also blacked out and dreamed that it was mom who was guiding me. Dad was next to me with a flashlight. I also was escorted by two wolves who reminded me of my parents. They escorted me to the house and then they disappeared. I think they are my parents but I’m not sure. It was weird. I got home safely. The cats were happy to see me. I gave those cats rubs and scratches
One thing I miss is my family my parents and relatives. I miss them. I tried to find a picture online the computer but couldn’t. I kept getting a web page that says "Page cannot be displayed". I’m upset about that. I took a shower then I watched the news. Nothing new. It mentioned Sue in the hospital. It didn’t say why. I looked up religions. I got some weird web site about believing in a god named High Council. It is very weird. It didn’t say a thing about the religion I was raised in.
Later Sue came home with my journal. She was upset about something but she handed me the journal and wouldn’t talk about why she had it. She told me someone from work took it and handed it to her. She admitted that she didn’t read it but I could tell that she was lying about that. She was told from the doctor to rest for a while which means she won’t be working for two days. I’m happy that Sue is okay. I miss my family. I wonder what's mom and dad is doing? Why am I thinking them alive? It doesn't make sense at all. It’s nice to be home. I fed the cats. I worked on my gymnastics web site. I added more biography on the foreign female gymnasts. Many people filled up the guest book. Victoria sat in my lap when I worked on the guest book. I checked web sites on religion. There’s a web site on a god named High Council. What a weird religion. I decided to start a web site on a religion involving a male King named Lance Richard. The white wolf told me in a vision to do that. I hope people won’t mind it. After that I went to take a shower. Sue stayed in her room. I miss Bruce. I miss him. I sent Lad a video message asking abo
ut Bruce but he was out. Then I went to my room as dictated by the White wolf who told me to.

Dear Anne,
I went to bed and I didn't have any weird dreams. The machine fed the cats. I ignored them when they jumped on my back and walked all over me. Sue left her door closed so the kittens couldn’t go in her room. I had some lunch. Then I watched the news. Their talking about the web site I put up about Lance Richard last night. I didn’t include my name in the web site. They think it’s weird. They talked about it being an old religion from Earth. I hope Bruce likes it. It’ll be awhile before he comes home to here. I got e-mail from Lad. He told me Bruce is staying in Canada for a week. I replied that I miss him. He was a good guy. I hope he has a good religion. I don’t know about High Council. Weird. I watched some TV all day. Then I walked to the library. I didn’t see Sue before I left to the library. She was still in her room. I left her a note telling her where I was going. Then I walked to the library. On the way I walked thru the fog and
