I was right about Amelia not being here Friday or Saturday. I’m hoping she’ll come on Monday. If not, sometime next week. This one was out of stock so I shouldn’t be so cursed with her, though she wasn’t out of stock for very long from the time I made the order. We’ve got till the 4th before the 10 business days are up. With people being as stupid as they are, I wonder, did they ship her to Tempe? If so, would they forward her to Maricopa? If not, would they re-ship her to Maricopa or give us a refund?

Tom said he might extend the Tempe box mainly for the bill’s sake cuz of how changeovers normally take a few months to go through.

I was surprised not to get anything from Mary. I hope she didn’t take me bitching about the mail returns seriously. I think she knows better, though, than to think it’s her fault or that I blame her for it.

Could something I said in my journal have upset her? I don’t think so. Even if I did say something she disagreed with, she knows that I’m me, she’s her, and no two people agree on everything. She wouldn’t not like me, for example, if I decided fuchsia was an ugly color.

Maybe she was moved, though I doubt that too.

I wonder if Hope left yet.

She probably just hasn’t been in the mood to write, I’m sure. I hope not too many of my letters to her are on their way back. I’ve been sticking to the rules to a T, so unless it’s personal and someone’s decided to pick on me, I shouldn’t have anything coming back.
