Dear You,
I did okay today. I didn't say anything mean to anyone, I didn't cry, overall I behaved pretty well, honest. I was in pain though and there was this terrible image stuck in my head that my brain was pushing the inner side of my skull until it cracked and then gray matter started pouring down my cheeks. Like I said, disgusting. Isa kept smiling at me and asking me if I was okay. I counted five times. I think I freaked her out a bit. Sharon tried to hug me when we saw each other first but I was in no mood for hugging so she got the message. She's pretty good, I must say. I thought I managed the whole pain thing pretty good but somehow Jack figured it out and he's a guy, which pretty much means that if he noticed, everyone noticed because no offence but boys don't tend to pay so much attention. I was kind of hoping to get away with it quietly but since that clearly went awry I sort of switched to plan b.
Oh, yeah, we had to comment on my story. I was sort of disoriented but I heard pretty good stuff. They handed me all their observations but they really liked it and that really made me feel much better. I know that if you were here you would have pulled the whole don't-underestimate-yourself-speech but isn't that what we always do? I mean, I get that a lot from you when you talk about your work and it's such a shame because you really are great. As I said before Lina is coming on the 27th but I wish you could come with us. After a couple of days I'll probably start thinking of creative ways to murder her so I kinda wish I had better company, you know, as a distraction.
The first gifts I ordered arrived today. Isa's socks are here and they're adorable, I'm sure she'll love them, I know I did. I mean, come on, they're xmas socks, one pair has penguins and the other one trees! I haven't been this excited for socks for a long time now! Now I just have to get Sue to help me wrap them and I'll be okay.
I can't think of anything else to write to you now. I'm seriously considering Ithaca for summer vacations. Maybe you can come. I do miss the heat; I feel like my toes and fingers are permanently frozen. My cold is wearing off though so I guess that's good. I'll write to you again tomorrow. I'm kind of getting used to our one-sided-conversation-routine.
