okay working. I asked Sue what she thinks about the High Council religion. She thinks it’s weird except she had a crazy look on her face. I recognized that look on her face. I know it's when she believes in something and she shows that crazy look on her face. I asked her where she got the picture. She told me she drew it after asking Anna what he may have looked like. I worked the best I could. The customers were polite to me. They were nice. They tried to talk to me in sign language. I told them I hope to teach a sign language class. Anna was more interested in seeing me work them teach sign language.

  Sue and I walked home after work. I thanked Sue for adding the drawing. I told her she should teach a drawing class instead of working. She told me to teach sign language. Halfway to home we walked to the auditorium office. Sue grabbed my arm and clung to me like she was scared of something. It was weird. I found Jayna there. We asked her if we could teach a sign language class. She told us she'll find out. I can't wait to teach sign language. I don't want to work at the store anymore. So does Sue. We walked home. On the way I got sensations that I was in a plane. My ears were hurting. I saw myself sitting in a plane seat with mom asleep next to me.

  I looked down and saw I wrote "Tamkan, New York."

  Sue had to shake me because I was out of it. At home I got a video message from Lad. He told me Bruce admitted he's in love with me. Wow. I'm impressed. I sent Lad a video message asking for Bruce's phone number. I haven't received a video message from Bruce yet. I took an early shower. I'm not sleeping well. I seem to be waking up at early hours in the morning. I been meaning to write this down but I forget or too tired to do that. I think I'll go to bed early. I'm still wearing that necklace and the bracelets. I like them. I haven't taken them off. I think I'll take off the bracelets. I took them off to shower. I plan to wear them a lot. I hope I won't wear them down. I think I'll go to bed now. I wonder what happened to that White wolf. I haven’t had any commands from it.

  Tired,

  Dear Anne,

  I didn't sleep very well last night. I kept waking up. I went to sleep at a late hour and I woke up early because I had a nightmare. I dreamed of High Council ordering for my death. I dreamed that the police came and hauled me out of bed. They took me to the auditorium with other people there. On the stage was High Council.

  He made a slicing motion on his neck as to say "Kill her".

  The police men took me to a room with a chair full of wires and sat me in it. I sat shivering and then I woke up. Then I freed myself by changing into a wolf form and running around the room. I managed to throw myself through a window and ran into the forest where I found the white wolf and sat down snoozing. Then I felt myself being carried and laid down on a bed where I went back to sleep after that. The clock woke me up. I did feel sore like I had cuts and scratches on my back. I checked Sue's room. She was out somewhere. She left a note explaining she's at work. The note was taped on the refrigerator. The cats walked all over me last night. I couldn't tell which cat tried to sit on my face last night. I hope I'll be fine. I checked the cat food machine. It’s on its last can. I brought some cat food. I sent it home. I worked the best I could. Sue was in the break room online the computer. I peeked over her shoulder. She's looking at baby stuff such as cribs. I can't believe it. She already got a crib and she's looking for a new one? I told her that. She told me she thinks her maybe having twins. She's not sure yet. I think it explains why Sue is a little big. I think the baby is going to be big. Kurt is six feet tall. Sue is around my height, five feet and two inches. Some one put health food I can eat in the snack machine. How nice of them. I don't have to bring food but I'll keep bringing food in case the snack machine is out of food. I checked the schedule Sue and I are working tomorrow. Oh boy. I walked home after work. I taught Sue how to use the machine to feed the cats. I loaded it up with cans of cat food. I worked on my gymnastics web site in my room. The TV can also be a computer. I checked on Sue. She was working on the High Council web site. I told her to add her name to the web site. Then I went to my room to work on my gymnastics web site. I found Sue added a picture of my favorite gymnast. Her name is a French name. She has a Romanian last name. I like her. She's my favorite. I looked online for web sites on her. I couldn't find any. I found some web sites on names. The web site gives the names and their meanings. I looked for Sue's name. I found a lot of meanings. Wow. I hope she chooses the right name for her baby. I went to Sue's room. She was there. I asked her what's she's going to name her baby if girl and if boy. She told me she was going to name if boy Kurt, but she changed her mind. She's going to go with her father's name Edward. She added if girl she'd call her Dominique after her mother. Dominique is the same name of my favorite gymnast. I'm glad Sue added a picture. I think after work maybe I could find a book on Dominique.

  Dear Anne,

  Sue and I have different break times. I have two thirty minute breaks. She has two fifteen minute breaks and thirty minutes for lunch. I think it’s because she's expecting a baby. Work went fine. The customers talked me about Sue's drawing of High Council. I think Sue should teach a drawing class. They liked her drawings. They even liked her drawing of a gymnast on my gymnastics web site. Sue came in the break room and sat down. I asked her if she was feeling all right. She told me she felt some pains. I told her I'll go find Anna. She told me not to bother. Anna came. I told her Sue was feeling pains.

  Anna asked Sue a bunch of questions such as "Where is the pains?"

  Anna then told Sue to go to the hospital. She explained that every pain should be checked out for complications. Then the ambulance people came and Sue went to the hospital. I hope Sue is okay. I hope so. I hope she's fine. I asked Anna about Sue. She explained Sue went in premature labor. They were able to stop the labor with medicines. Anna added the baby is on the large side. So it's quite a strain for Sue. I worked the best I could. The customers were messy today. They even signed to me. I like it when people try to sign to me. I checked the schedule Sue has a day off. After work I walked to the hospital and I found out from the lady in the lobby who told me that Sue is staying overnight. I went home to get some stuff for Sue. I got some clothes packed along with the High Council book. She wasn't finished reading. I think maybe I could get a drawing pad and pencil for her to draw. At the hospital I found out where Sue is staying. Then I walked to her room. She wasn't in a good mood. She was upset that the baby was on the large side. I tried to cheer her up. I told her she'll be home tomorrow. She might be in bed for awhile. I don't know but maybe. I spent an hour with her. We talked mostly about the baby. Then I took a cab home. It was dark out. I don't like walking home in the dark. Ugh. The house seemed empty without her. The cats were happy to see me. I forgot to feed them. I fed them. I have to get up tomorrow. I'm still not sleeping well. I keep waking up early in the morning. I think going to bed early might be helpful in case I wake up at 1am in the morning. I set the machine to feed the cats. I hope it'll work fine.

  Yours,

  Elizabeth

  Dear Anne,

  Anna told me the hospital sent Sue home. They gave her doctor's orders to stay in bed for a week. She's going to miss a lot of work. Anna asked me to work in the women's department. I worked the best I could. I can't wait for Anna to get another employee. I'm feeling a little overwhelmed. My nose is stuffed. I hope I'm not coming down with a cold. I didn’t sleep well last night. I kept waking up to see what time it was. I hate it when I do that. I guess it must be from eating at a late hour. I was hungry. No more snacks at that hour. Anna told me Phyla Smith got a slap on the wrist for stealing the lipstick. She told me Phyla was told to stay away from me. I don't want to hang around her at all. Work went fine. I still felt overwhelmed cleaning both children's and women's departments. It was tiring. I had plenty to do. I checked the schedule. I'm not working for two days. I plan to look for
pencils and drawing pads. I think I'll buy it for Sue. It'll give her something to do during her bed rest. After work I looked for drawing pads and pencils. I had a hard time finding them. I had to ask Anna for help. She showed me where they were. I brought a pad and a set of ten pencils with a pencil sharpener. Then I walked home. I found Sue in her room upstairs. I told her I could help her move her bed to the bedroom next to the bathroom. Sue told me it was a good idea. It'll be a short trip instead of stairs. I gave her the drawing pad and pencils. She liked them. I helped her haul her bed, which was just a twin size mattress down stairs to a room next to the bathroom. I must complain but I did most of the hauling. Sue wasn’t much help either. The cats sat on the table and watched us do this. They can't help being curious. I plan to use the basement bathroom to take my shower. I want to leave the kitchen bathroom free for Sue to go. I'm still wearing that Osiris necklace. I haven't taken it off. I like wearing it because I’m honoring my mom. I still wear the bracelets. I take the bracelets off to take my shower. I took my shower in the basement bathroom. I came out and found Sue lying in the
