checked my P.O. Box yesterday...

Thank you, oceankitty1 ! He is a charming fox and I am glad to make his acquaintance.

Also, thank you, Jason from Virginia, for your letter! I'm sorry I don't seem to have gotten any of your previous attempts.

Other than that, yesterday--to be blunt and vulgar--sucked donkey balls. Sleep is still a no man's land, if not quite enemy territory; doctor's appointment did not produce miracles; Barnes and Noble has fewer books than ever, which just makes me unutterably depressed; still no luck on the job front; still can't write.

Still not king.

So I am all the more grateful for oceankitty1 's present and Jason from Virginia's letter. They are a bright spot in the general gloom. Thank you both!
