teaching sign language. Bruce stopped by. It was great to see him. He was shopping for something. He wouldn’t tell me. I guess it’s a surprise for me. I don’t know I could be wrong about that. I saw Bruce buying diapers. I guess it’s for his father. Old people need diapers. He must be embarrassed. I was yawning a lot in work. Sue asked me if I slept well. I told her I forgot to take my pills, and I couldn’t sleep because of that. Anna told me to go to the doctors. She overheard Sue and me talking about me forgetting my pills. Groans. She told me to go and come back later. I went to the doctors. Sean was there. He seemed annoyed. He did tests on me, which involve drawing my blood. I’m getting sick of this. I’m getting tired of having my blood taken. I’m sick of it. Sean told me the test results show I have diabetes and I don’t produce hormones. He gave me some pills to take. After the tests I walked back to work.

  At work I worked cleaning the children’s area until break time. Break time was fine. I ate a snack, which was applesauce. I can’t believe Anna overheard our conversation. I’m annoyed about that. It is irritating. I checked the schedule I’m working the same shift like today. Sigh. What a day. After break time I worked. Several customers talked to me in sign language. Sue worked at the credit register. I did some shopping after work. I looked around for stuff. I brought some toys for the kittens. The toys were a small fake bunny on a string and ringing balls. I walked home. I gave the cats the toys. They sniffed it for a minute. Then they left it alone. I pulled the bunny on a string and Victoria played with the bunny. She was cute playing with it. I could have brought a camera but I don’t know what kind of cameras the store has. I fed the cats. I worked on my gymnastics web site. I added a page on foreign gymnasts to the web page such as my favorite named Viktoria with a “k”. I mostly put female gymnasts. I don't know much on male gymnasts. I plan to add a sign language web site. It might be nice. Demeter sat in my lap as I worked on the web page. Victoria played with the bunny. She chewed the ear off. I have to go to bed. I have to get up early tomorrow. I got Demeter off my lap. She was sitting on my bed snoozing. Victoria is in my bureau drawer. I think she’s asleep. What a cute kitten. Speaking of snoozing I think its time for me to snooze. Good night.

  Humph just as I was going to bed the white wolf appeared in a vision and told me to go outside immediately. I went outside through the sun room and changed into a wolf. Two wolves appeared and led me through the forest to a clearing. I saw the white wolf sitting there and I bowed. The white wolf told me mentally to follow it. I followed it to a clearing where there was a deer a dead one laying on the ground. The white wolf told me to eat it. I felt disgusted and couldn’t refuse so I bit and chewed the dead deer and ate my fill. Then the white wolf led me back to a clearing and two wolves that eerie reminded me of my parents stood. They led me through the forest to the house. I got in with them following me then they disappeared. I took a shower in the basement bathroom and come upstairs wet. The cats were curious and sniffed my clothes. They appeared to be sniffing something invisible which I was confused but assumed that they can sniff my ghost. Then I dragged myself upstairs to bed.

  Tired,

  Dear Anne,

  I don’t have much to add. It's the same old boredom. Sue is still expecting a baby. It’s boring here in the store. I lip read the customers. They're talking about a riot in jail. Several prisoners were followers of Penny who believed in perfection. Sheesh. I’m getting annoyed about this crap. It is irritating. What’s so special about perfection? Hmph. It is irritating. Someone left a computer on in the break room. I don’t know who. I ought to ask Anna about that. I used it to check the news. The news confirmed what the customers have been saying. There is a riot in the jail. The riot has been taken care of. I asked Anna about the computer. She told me it belongs to the store. We can use it during break times. I worked the best I could. I cleaned the children’s area. I hope to teach a class. I would rather work as a teacher than work here. I ate an apple for snack. I was hungry. Sue was using the computer. I looked over her shoulder. She was looking for baby stuff. She told me to go away and leave her alone. I asked her why. She told me she wants her privacy online the computer. I don’t think it’s her break time. I went to check the schedule to see if it was Sue's break time. I checked the schedule. It wasn’t Sue’s break time. I’m working tomorrow. Anna asked me where’s Sue. I had to be truthful and I told her I saw Sue in the break room. Anna walked to the break room. I have no idea what happened next because I saw Sue coming out of the break room angry. She walked up to me and slapped me on the face calling me a wolf lover. It didn’t make sense why she would call me a wolf lover. I happen to like wolves and think their misunderstood animals in the world. I worked fine cleaning the children’s area. Later Bruce came by to buy some stuff. He brought clothes. I saw Sue again. She wouldn’t talk to me. She ignored me. I wonder what her problem is and I don’t want to be responsible period. After work I walked home. I didn’t shop for any clothes. I left Sue an apology video message. I wonder what’s wrong with Sue. I wonder why she would use the computer even it’s not her break time. I ate some dinner then I worked on my gymnastics web site adding more things in the biography web page. I got a call from Anna. She told me Sue has not been feeling well. It was okay for her to take extra breaks. Oh I wonder why Sue wouldn’t talk to me. It’s really weird. I took a shower. Then I got a video message from Sue. She was upset that she had an argument with Kurt. She was also feeling cranky. I checked the computer about the riot. It was controlled.

  Bored to tears,

  Dear Anne,

  This morning I thought about sending Bruce a video message but I decided not too. I don't want to disturb him if he's sleeping at this hour. I looked outside and I saw Sue leave the house. She didn't look like she was in a good mood. She acted angry. I guess she's still mad at Kurt. I wonder what caused their argument. Sue took the car and drove somewhere. I don't know where. I saw Kurt come out. He walked to my door and rang the doorbell. I answered it. Kurt asked if he could come in. I told him no I had to report to work in a while. Kurt walked away. He went back in his house. I wonder what the matter with Kurt is. I walked to work. Work was fine. I cleaned out the children's area. Several customers signed to me. I signed back. I guess being deaf has its perks. I asked Sue what she and Kurt were fighting about. She wouldn't tell me. Said it's between her and Kurt. I told her Kurt came over and wanted to come in. Sue finally told me the problem. She suspects Kurt has been cheating on her. She thinks Kurt is dating Serena behind her back. I asked Sue if she had any proof. Sue told me she thinks Serena is pregnant with Kurt’s baby. I asked her who the father of her baby is. She told me it was Kurt. I asked her where she got the idea of Kurt cheating on her. She didn't know she suspected when she over heard Kurt talking on the phone with Serena. He mentioned fathering Serena's baby. Anna came by and asked us to work. I planned to go to the library and do some research. I want to see if I could write a book. I want to write a book. I want to be an author and maybe a teacher at a school. It might be nice to do that. I checked the schedule at the end of my shift. I'm working tomorrow. Sue is working the same shift as me. Our break times maybe the same. I don't know, could be. I walked to the library and I looked in the library. I found books on history twenty century. I think I'll write a book about my past life. It might give people an idea of what my life was like in the past. I walked home. Then I watched some TV. I changed the channel to watch the news. The news was boring. It talked about the Penny suicide and the jail riot. There's a snowstorm coming tonight. I don't know if I'll be able to work tomorrow. The weather said the storm might blow all day tomorrow. I won't be able to get to work. I'll be stuck in the house bored. It's a good thing I have enough food. I ate some dinner then I took an early shower. I might go to bed later but I'm not tired. I worked on my gymnastics web site. The counter hit two thousand. Wow my site is popular. I st
arted a sign language web site. I added a counter to the web site. I hope it might give people some excitement in boring town. Yawn. I'm bored. I can't help it. I want some excitement. I can't help feeling bored. I think I'll go to bed now. I don't know if I can make it to work due to the storm.

  Bored stiff,

  Dear Anne,

  I called work and received a video message from Anna who told me that there's no work due to the storm. I went back to bed. I got up and discovered the doorbell light blinking. Outside was Sue. I let her in. She told me Kurt is the father of Serena's baby. The test results of the paternity by the doctors are positive. She was very upset about this. I let her stay in her old room. I hope she and Kurt can work things out. She's still in her room. Her door is closed. I think I'll leave her alone. Outside the snowstorm is still raging. I can't see a thing outside. It's all white out except it looked like a sheet was placed over the window. The door bell rang and it was Kurt. He asked me about Sue. I told him
