Bad News!

Thursday March 22, 2001

Yesterday the vacuuming got done and I finished getting the first draft of Nest to Nest done. I printed out the edit copy, which Tom will edit for me.

Today, the morning was spent baking chocolate chip cookies. Now I have to keep Tom from eating them all before our ritual on Saturday. For some reason I have been depressed and tired most of the day. I went in the hot tub and watched a chickadee hollow out a hole in a dead birch tree for a nest. I watched leaves blowing in the wind, and watched the birds. Over an hour passed, I don't know where it went. Tom came home from an all day business meeting and work session in town. He is at the point of trying to get his section to work with the part the company has. He brought in the mail. There was a letter from grad school - I didn't make it. I was stunned.
