Got up at noon and was amazingly blessed with 3 hours of peace and quiet. Then Jesse took off somewhere and left us with the barking, though I only heard a couple of barking fits. One when he left, one when he returned. Nothing continuous, but still annoying. I was trying to watch a fucking movie.

I was actually watching a documentary on the concentration camps in Germany in the 40s. After seeing such horror I realize that I’m okay after all. Not even my most meanest, most selfish, most evil of thoughts compare to the horror I saw done to those poor prisoners. I’ve had some seriously ghoulish thoughts pertaining to some people that have screwed me over in life, but what I saw in this documentary had me ashamed and embarrassed to even think of calling the Nazis “fellow human beings.” Those weren’t human beings. Those were animals.

I was pleased to get an email from Maliheh shortly after I awoke. She’s still sick but getting better. She said she may be busy and tired and unable to chat for a couple of days but we’ll chat as soon as we can. I told her I understood and that I appreciated her checking in regularly and said that she really seems to care about me.

“I do care,” she said.

Awww…
