I’m glad that everything heavy we needed to discuss has pretty much all been discussed by now
and we therefore didn’t need to discuss anything heavy the last time you saw me three days ago
on Monday. I got out with my mom earlier this week for the first time since before Christmas to
do our Easter shopping and I’ll tell you about that, but first there are a few things that I
think we should touch up on before we go into the meeting tomorrow. You asked me if I still feel
the same as I did two months ago or if I feel any better. I asked my mom and she said that I
certainly have changed. And you asked me if they all of a sudden find another place for me to
live whether I’d go check it out or not, my mom said quote “sure, why not” because it might be
the right kind of place for me or the kind of place that I might like. I think that it would be
too soon for me to move in with strangers though and that it would be too sudden a change for me,
there’s no one else who I would feel comfortable living with right now besides Carol. I know
that the chances of this happening aren’t great, and again I’m so desperate to live with her
that I’ll do anything for this to happen. I had wanted to live with Carol for quite a while,
even before the last altercation that took place a few days after Christmas. I know that Carol
is nonviolent and I know that she’s someone who I’d feel safe with. My mom says that I got good
people working with me now like you and the people from FVMH, she therefore says that it’s time
for me to move on and say goodbye to Carol. The FVMH are all new people. And I only knew you for
a couple months compared to how long I knew Carol for. I said in the message that I sent you on
Wednesday Feb.20,2008 that I don’t want Carol to just sit back feeling glad that we got help and
I want her to actually be around to support me. Again, she’s pretty much the only person besides
my parents who I’ve seen a lot of in my life so far. I feel more comfortable with her than I do
with any of my own relatives You know that I’ve been avoiding most of my relatives for a long
time and it’s now at the point where we haven’t had any of our relatives over here to visit for
a while. I feel close enough to Carol that I consider she was the next closest that I had to
family after my parents, my mom said that she helped us get through some bad times like when my
cousin, David, passed away and a year after that when my grandma (my mom’s mom) passed
away but I said to you in the message that I sent you on Friday Feb.8,2008 that my dad thinks
Carol doesn’t have a heart and was only being this nice because she had got paid to do so. Keep
in mind that I written many times about the “Jenny and Judy connection.” I also said previously
that I’d rather meet more people throughout my life who have “contact with/connections to” Carol
instead of people who are affiliated with you. My mom thinks that you know all the people who
have more training and that Carol wouldn’t know anyone who has as much training as the people
you know. I can’t convince my mom that Carol just might know just a few people who have that
much training though maybe less than the amount of people you know with that kind of training,
but my mom still doesn’t think so. I already had to do a big goodbye for Maureen Linklater. You
should know who she is by now after I had mentioned her many times in previous messages. Anyway,
I can now see that giving her a big goodbye made sense and that letting her go was the right
thing to do because again she wasn’t any help to us but you know that I see Carol differently
and therefore I feel that I shouldn’t have to do the same for her.
In fact, I never even did say goodbye to Maureen. And I continued to obsess about her for a
year after the last time when she and I saw each other before I had finally managed to let her
go. We E-mailed each other lots until a few months after I left High School without finishing
grade twelve when she stopped answering my messages. At the next appointment with my
psychiatrist (the one on Scott Road), I found out that Maureen had faxed the latest E-mail
I had sent her to the psychiatrist and also said that the reason why she stopped writing was
because of some policy where old students can’t continue to communicate with the staff after
they leave High School even though I was still registered at that school then but was no longer
in the BASES program there. That didn’t make sense to me because:
1. She had said to me before she stopped talking to me that after I graduate High School I could
drop into the school anytime and see her.
2. I heard about her and the other staff in BASES seeing lots of their other old students and
keeping in touch with them after they graduated.
And I don’t think it was right that Maureen faxed my E-mail to the psychiatrist without
sending anything to me. If she wasn’t allowed to keep in contact with me anymore, she could have
sent me one last E-mail to end it. You should also know that a year before she stopped answering
my messages she was the one who I learned from that if she sends me an E-mail I should send her
one back. I never got an explanation as to why Maureen stopped writing to me. It seems all the
nice people who I’ve met in my life so far or all the people who I ended up liking eventually
get forced out of my life. Again, I’ve managed to let Maureen go and I don’t want to have to do
the same for Carol. And I don’t think that it should be up to my parents to decide whether or
not the relationship between Carol and myself ends.
Even though you said it wasn’t acceptable for Carol to lash out at me and say quote "if you hit
you’re mom I’m not coming back here," when I told my
mom that she (Carol) can’t say that to me she (my mom) then says that she
(Carol) was my worker and she should have been allowed to say whatever she wanted to me. You
might be against the idea of Carol lashing out at me, but you can see that my parents seem to
think that it was okay for her to do so. Keep in mind that it was going to be the first time in
a long time I would’ve been away from my parents for more than one night when Carol wouldn’t let
me phone. Again, it doesn’t sound to me like Carol has any remorse or regrets after lashing out
at me after my dad convinced me that she was really
scared.
And one other thing, we got a reminder in the mail last week that I have a dentist
appointment coming up on April 3rd. I asked my mom whether she thinks I should go or change it
to sometime a couple months after that. She said to keep it, but I’m not sure about that answer.
I did say in the last message I sent you that my mom thinks I won’t stop asking her to explain
herself until I get the answer that I’m expecting, but that’s a different scenario...scenario
being a situation when I want her to explain herself and she doesn’t give me a clear answer that
I can understand easily. Anyway the appointment’s on a Thursday, so if we keep the appointment
that means I’ll have to switch with you again that week. It’s a morning appointment, but you
know I’ll be tired after that and I don’t like too much going on in one day.
Remember I was offered a spot in Gateway’s day program at the time when that spot became
available and we didn’t take that spot because I would’ve had to go five days per week and
wouldn’t have been allowed to start with just a couple days per week. Raynor phoned us yesterday
morning, he said that he was looking through my file and he thought that it was unusual I was
offered that spot in Gateway because at the time when I was offered it I was older than the age
that they usually work with. He also said that he’s taking the next couple weeks off and then
after that he’ll want to meet with us again to catch up.
Not long after Raynor phoned, Dr. McKibbin’s office called to confirm our appointment for
tomorrow. I thought that they’d call today which would be the day before our appointment. They
also called on Wednesday February 13th which was the day before our last appointment and after
the nurse had asked us when she saw us whether we want them to give us a call the day before or
if we’d remember. My mom told her at that time that she thought we could remember no problem,
but they still called anyway.

• Tarzan and Jane are in the treehouse one evening when Jane asked Tarzan to go out and get dinner.
"OK." said Tarzan; he then swings out of the treehouse
An hour later he's back and throws three dead birds and four monkeys on the table.
Jane says, “Oh no. Not finch and chimps again!”
• There is a new study in psychiatry of ceramics...it’s the study of crackpots.
I don’t know if I worded those above jokes exactly the same as you said them or if you think
I was good enough at wording them myself. If you got those jokes from a website or if the person
who either told or sent you the jokes got them from a website, maybe try to get a hold of that
website’s URL and then maybe I’ll go there and send you a few jokes that you might like.
• And there was also your joke about twinning the Port Mann Bridge, if they decide to build
another bridge beside the Port Mann they might name the new bridge the “Port
Woman
.” Seriously though,
I have said that twinning the Port Mann could hurt the environment even more because it would
bring more cars onto our roads and less people would take transit. Therefore that bridge could
continue to be just as bad during rush hours as it is now, but my dad doesn’t think so. He
thinks that we need the new bridge and that traffic would be moving compared to now when the
traffic is just sitting in line. I guess it’s better for the environment if the traffic’s moving
faster instead of crawling. My dad says that bridge was built to handle 1965 traffic and our
population is now five times as big as it was back then.
Remember I said in the last
message that I didn’t have any stomach problems after having those
Dairy Queen onion rings, well I spoke too soon. Before my shower last Saturday night
(the 8th), I had a big messy toot while I was in my bedroom in the middle of getting undressed.
I couldn’t make it to the toilet in time. My underwear was covered in poop so I had to wrap it
in toilet paper before throwing that pair into my laundry hamper. My mom had to flush the toilet
paper the next day after she put my underwear on to wash. Now I had two messy toots in the
middle of that same night, one at a quarter to 8AM and another one a half hour later at a
quarter after. Notice that none of this had started though until more than 48 hours after I had
the onion rings.
I did manage to get my average amount of sleep the last bunch of nights which I think would
be pretty close to the same as the amount of sleep that you get on average. I’d say that I’d get
about six or seven hours most nights, it seems that it’s just once or twice every month when I
have problems falling asleep. And I’ll tell you that I think I did better than my mom the last
two or three nights, she didn’t get to sleep until just after 5AM the last two nights in a
row before last night (Monday and Tuesday nights). She got to sleep a bit sooner last night,
but still had trouble falling asleep.
That car was sitting in front of my place with its engine running again yesterday morning. I
don’t think he’s warming up his engine, the car was sitting there running for about twenty
minutes at around 8AM yesterday morning before it finally took off and I kept hearing it idling
several times during that twenty minutes.
Before we got to the bulk section two afternoons ago (on Tuesday afternoon) of the
Save-On at South Point, we got my big Chocolate Chunk cookie. All they had to choose from for
big cookies were Chocolate Chunk, oatmeal, and those dark chocolate ones with bits of white. We
also saw in that same section after we got my cookie that they had donuts, this was the first
time in a long time we saw donuts at the South Point Save-On. The only two kinds of donuts they
had that I would like from what we could see were the chocolate iced long john and the standard
round white glazed with hole in the center, the rest looked like they had filling in them. We
decided to stick with getting the cookie for my snack because I already had a donut last
weekend. Also in this same section, we saw a huge selection of Easter cookies to choose from
including the Lofthouse brand white iced moist sugar Saint Patrick's Day cookies with green
sprinkles and the green iced Lofthouse brand moist sugar spring cookies with sprinkles. I told
you that we didn’t see either of these cookies in Save-On last year and that we got our’s at
Safeway. We got a pack of ten Shamrock cookies that day for me to try also by the Lofthouse
brand, these are green iced white cookies shaped like four-leaf clovers. I tried a couple of
these for my dessert after lunch today and didn’t know until after I tried them that they’re the
same moist sugar cookies and just as soft but just a different shape, so the reason why we
opened these cookies today instead of waiting until I finish some of the other packages I
already have open was incase they weren’t the same moist sugar cookies and if I didn’t like them
then that would give my mom plenty of time before Easter to go back to the store and get me some
cookies that I like. They also had bigger round containers of the Lofthouse brand moist sugar
spring cookies, but the ones in the big containers only come in yellow iced and you’d have to
get one of the smaller packs of ten if you want the green iced ones. From the bulk section we
got HERSHEY’S EGGIES, Rabbit head Ju Jubes (I’m not sure if these are the Dare ones, but as soon
as I saw them in the store they looked like the ones I had last year that I told you were my
preference between those and the gummy heads that I told you I had), jelly beans, jelly candies,
and five marshmellow bunnies to try. The marshmellow bunnies only came in either pink or yellow,
so I got two pink and three yellow. There were two different types of jelly beans to choose
from, the other ones were brighter colours but we got the ones that had more green jelly beans.
Both types of jelly beans looked to us like they were the same size and my mom didn’t think
there was any difference in taste, the other brighter-coloured jelly beans didn’t have any green
ones. We didn’t notice until after we got the bulk HERSHEY’S EGGIES and then walked over to the
other side of the bulk section that they had a similar type thing on that side that they call
“Robins Eggs,” these didn’t look like they were any smaller than the Hershey ones. Once we had
got everything we wanted from the bulk section, we then walked over to where they had the
packaged Easter stuff and we got a bag of Cadbury Mini Eggs. These came in different size bags,
we got the smallest that they had which I thought should be enough for at least a couple snacks
for me. We also didn’t see until we got to this same section and after we got our HERSHEY’S
EGGIES from the bulk that they had little packages of HERSHEY’S EGGIES in this section too, they
had both bags of milk chocolate HERSHEY’S EGGIES and bags of dark chocolate ones. I don’t think
I tried the dark ones before, maybe next year. My mom was pretty sure that the HERSHEY’S EGGIES
we got in bulk would be the milk chocolate ones, I myself think that they were just coming out
with the dark ones within the last few years and they only sold the milk chocolate ones for
those last bunch of years before. I said to my mom that the first time when I go to have some of
the HERSHEY’S EGGIES for one of my snacks maybe I could get her to see the inside of one once I
bite into it and she could then tell me whether she thinks it looks more like milk or dark
chocolate. The only thing we didn’t get at Save-On is Smartie eggs, we didn’t see any. If I
remember correctly we might not have got the Smartie eggs that we had last year from Save-On
either, I’ll have my mom watch for them when she’s out in other stores.
Save-On didn’t have much to choose from for Easter cakes when we were there two days ago. I
still hope that Safeway will do for Easter one of the round double-layer chocolate cakes that
you know I like even though we haven’t saw any Easter cakes there so far this year. I said to my
mom that if Safeway doesn’t come out with any Easter cakes maybe we could either get an Easter
ice cream cake from Dairy Queen or we could see if the Hillcrest bakery has anything for Easter
cakes even though Hillcrest’s cakes are usually a bit more expensive than most other places, but
we have bought cakes from Hillcrest in the past...just not as often. And when I say the
“Hillcrest bakery,” you know I mean the bakery not far from me in South Surrey that’s in the
Hillcrest mall even though it’s that one in Vancouver you told me about before that’s actually
called the “Hillcrest bakery.”
My mom went to the casino in Cloverdale for a little bit before she went to the Peninsula
Village Safeway and did her grocery shopping three afternoons ago while I was with you. At
Safeway she got; a pack of six bran muffins, a big bottle of HAPPY PLANET strawberry flavour
smoothie drink, and two more things of Nalley brand chip dip. The chip dip was on sale again so
she got one “Bacon & Onion” and one ranch, now we have lots of chip dip. I had some of the HAPPY
PLANET drink with my cookie after we got home from
Save-On and I had one of the bran muffins for my
evening snack later that same day (on Tuesday night) with milk to drink. I also had some
HAPPY PLANET to drink with my afternoon snack yesterday and to drink with my afternoon snack
today I had cranberry juice.
Not long after you left three days ago, Chloe was standing up beside the kitchen counter with
her back feet still on the floor like she was wondering if mom bought anything for her. Speaking
about Chloe, she was on the loveseat last Sunday night (the 9th) until my mom came in the
room and dished up my supper onto my TV table. When my mom was dishing up the supper, Chloe
thought it was for her. Once I sit down to eat after that, Chloe puts her front feet up on the
couch next to me for a few seconds while her back feet were still on the floor. Chloe doesn’t
usually act like this. Remember I said in the message I sent you on Sunday Mar.2,2008 that I
just missed having supper with Chloe after the delivery guy showed up the night before, well I
missed her again the next Sunday night (the 9th) because she was gone after she had her
front feet on the couch beside me.
Also last Sunday (the 9th), Izzy was sleeping on the couch in our family room just
before supper. My dad tried to wake her up so she wouldn’t be awake bugging my parents all
night.
Just after my dad came home three days ago (on Monday after you left), he flushed
three of my little platies from the tank of baby ones that I might trade sometime within the
next few weeks. He then thought that he should test the water in that tank. One more platy died
before he did so bringing the total to four. The results of my dad’s water test concluded that
the pH level was quite high so he then changed some water in that tank and tested the water
again the next day (on Tuesday). The results this time were better but I don’t know
exactly what the results were.
I notice that this crack in the plastic mat underneath our downstairs computer chair gets a
little bigger each time I sit down at that computer. It seems like we have to keep replacing
these plastic mats and I don’t know of any way to make them last longer. We had this plastic mat
that keeps cracking for only about four or five months and we still have the last one sitting in
the garage right now which my dad hasn’t taken to the dump yet. My dad says that he’s a bit
heavier than me and he therefore probably wrecks the mat when he rolls back and forth across it
while sitting in the computer chair, so I guess it would take me longer to get that mat damaged
that badly because he’s heavier than me. Now if I go out with my dad one day next week to the
Fish World store at 64th Avenue and Scott Road to trade my platies in for a store credit, just
one of many ideas that I might come up with could be after that we hit Costco, grab one of my
Costco hotdogs that I like and don’t get to have very often for my lunch with some fries, and
get another plastic computer mat from there. So far I’m thinking about doing this either on Good
Friday or next Thursday (the 20th) if my dad can get that day off work, I remember that
one time a few years ago the bigger stores like A&B Sound were open on Good Friday but I don’t
know if it would be different for the smaller fish stores. If we decide to do Costco for lunch,
it could be a lot busier on Good Friday so if my dad ends up taking next Thursday off I’d have
to reschedule with you for another day next week. Maybe we could see each other one day on the
Easter weekend if you don’t have anything else planned.
My dad picked up a new scratch for me to try when he went for his walk last Saturday
afternoon (the 8th). He got a “QUEEN of FORTUNE” and a “KING of FORTUNE.” My mom did the
“QUEEN of FORTUNE” so I later did the “KING of FORTUNE.” The “KING of FORTUNE” has six games
with the first one being where they give you three rows and you have to match three identical
dollar amounts on the same row to win the prize amount at the end of that row. The second game
is your favorite game you like to play whenever you go to the River Rock Casino...Texas Hold'em.
In the end, I did not win anything on this scratch after playing all six games. I quote
my mom when she said “you’re having the same luck on these I had,” quote “I wouldn't buy these
again because they're poopy,” and she said after winning nothing on all six games quote “you got
as much as I got.”
My dad went out and saw my grandparents (his parents) the next morning (on the
9th). My grandma sent home with him some spice raisin cookies that she made. I had a couple of
those cookies for my dessert after lunch that same day (Sunday), I like a few things that
are mild but not too spicy. You know that I also like the natcho cheese flavour Doritos chips.
My mom and dad each had a piece of the Angel food cake last Saturday night (the 8th)
which was the same night I had my Safeway salad and the donut for dessert, there was just a bit
more than one piece of cake left but not enough for two pieces. I had one regular size piece for
my dessert after supper the next night (Sunday night) with strawberries and whipping
cream and my mom said that either she or my dad would have the last tiny little bit.
My dad has to go to Kamloops for a day or two this weekend. He could be gone for the weekend,
but if so he’d get in lots of overtime which you know means a lot more extra money. It’s looking
more likely now that he’ll go either Sunday or Monday, he also didn’t know for sure before today
when he would be going...At first it was thought that he might’ve had to go either today or
tomorrow. He told them that he wants to be home tomorrow so he could take the day off to come to
our meeting. If it did end up being tomorrow when they ready to pull the cables through those
pipes, another guy at my dad’s work named Takashi said he’d go. When my dad phoned home at lunch
today, he said that when he and Takashi went for their walk at lunch today he let this other
lady go with them. They’ve been warning women not to walk alone in that area because I guess
they’ve been having some problems in that area, and the lady said that she likes the speed that
my dad and Takashi walk at because the ladies who she normally walks with walk slower than she
does.
Notice this in the part of the message with the gray
background that you didn’t read before we did so where I said
about going to DQ for onion rings:
|
> I thought that maybe tomorrow would be a good day to go to Dairy
Queen for my onion rings and I’d just get a medium

time and then my mom said

|
In that same message under my image from the "The Lion King," I gave a quote Timon said
“Tastes like chicken.” Now a quote Pumbaa said was “They call me Mr. Pig.”
How about “They call me Mr. Sundae?”
I couldn’t find a scene from the movie or an image of Pumbaa when he says “They call me Mr.
Pig,” I hope you like the image I did find though.
And now I know not to use a gray background again on messages I send you because it’s the s
ame colour hex as the cursor.
You can download the twelve images (it was twelve, not
eleven) we did three days ago from
http://
And the second package including the front cover image for the PC game “Colin McRae Rally” from
http://
Out of those six patterns my mom has a feeling that I’d probably like image42a(12).bmp the
best, she says that image42a(6).bmp is bright but doesn’t like it, she likes image42a(8).bmp and
image42a(9).bmp, and image42a(2).bmp was one that you liked and we did just for fun. It probably
won’t end up being #2 that gets used in the end. Maybe I could post a poll on-line sometime to
see which one of those twelve images gets the most votes.
I tried doing a few searches under “Patterns Search” at
COLOURlovers.com...No
results for “Dizzy Izzy” without the quotes, but I was right when I said that lots of results
would come up for “Lava Lamp.” We use to have my cousin David’s lava lamp in our crawlspace
after he passed away, I don’t remember what colour it was and I think his ex-girlfriend’s son
might have taken it. His name is Kiernan. It might be neat to have a green lava lamp if I
have a bigger bedroom sometime, maybe at the next place I live. Other than that thought, having
my own lava lamp is another one of those many things that I just never think about just like I
haven’t really thought about having a page on MySpace for another example.
I'm not normally on the computer after supper, the only time again when I sent you an E-mail
after supper was that day when the nurse came to visit almost two months ago to let you know how
the visit went earlier that same day. I had finished typing that message with the gray
background before supper last Wednesday, it just didn’t get sent until after supper because my
mom saw my image from Aladdin when she was checking the message and she called me into the room
as soon as she saw that image. Where I had said above that image that “I’ll bet that you didn’t
know Aladdin had a dog,” my mom told me that was a monkey in the image and not a dog. When I had
said that above the image about Aladdin having a dog, I wasn’t referring to the monkey in the
image. Maybe I should’ve used a different image:
Or I could’ve still used the same image but just cropped out the monkey like shown here:
I guess there’s room in the above image to paste a dog to the right of Jasmine. Or you
remember one time when I looked at one of my dog books with you and we saw one weird looking dog
that I had never saw before and that I thought looked like a monkey and not like a dog, well
maybe Aladdin’s pet who I cut from the above image is a monkey
dog. My mom knows that I
watched the Aladdin movie many years ago and remember all those characters quite well, so I
don’t know why she’d think that I thought it was a dog in that image. I was referring to the dog
in the scanned image who you said could be on a magic carpet when I said that I bet you didn’t
know Aladdin had a dog. Anyway, after my mom had called me into the room I then went on-line to
look up the names of the characters so that I could add their names underneath the picture and
that’s why the message didn’t get sent until after supper that night.
There are three new images for us to scan tomorrow, they were all in yesterday’s paper...more
pictures of dogs dressed up including one image of two dogs wearing sunglasses. It was one of
the times we scanned last week when you heard me sing for the second time and I sang that 1940s
hit about the spray can. The first time you heard me sing, I sang “Whistle While You Work” from
Disney's Snow White.
After our appointment tomorrow and while you and I go for lunch at White Spot, I’m trying to
talk my mom into checking out a couple fabric stores on United Boulevard to see if they have the
right kind of material I want to make our cats’ Christmas stockings. She already knows about one
fabric store that’s over there and at one time a while back when she was looking either on-line
or in the phonebook she found two listed in that same area including the one she already knew
about but we’re not sure if they’re both still open and won’t know until they go over there.
Those Christmas stockings can take my mom a while to make and therefore if she starts work on
them now she might have them done in time for Christmas.
We went 152nd Street on our way to South Point two afternoons ago instead of 148th because
they are still widening the road there. My mom thinks that they are finally four-laning
148th. And I think it’s about time they four-laned it, I’m not sure if they’ll four-lane it as
far as the High School though. I remember when my mom would always drop me off and pick me up
when I went to that school, it would always be busy and would take us forever to get through
there. Anyway, it took us a long time to get through when we went 152nd on Tuesday. A policeman
was standing at King George and we had no idea what he was doing, we thought that maybe he
wasn’t allowing traffic to turn left at the intersection and head North on King George because
they could’ve been clearing an accident down that way. The policeman didn’t leave and the road
wasn’t open to traffic again until just as we were finally getting through. When we finally got
to South Point I asked my mom if she thought it wouldn’t have taken us any longer if we had went
148th, she then said that she was beginning to wonder that too. We tried going home 148th, but
just after we crossed King George the traffic was starting to back up due to the construction so
we turned at 28th Avenue and took a shortcut home via the back roads. My mom thinks we could
probably go 152nd on the way to our appointment tomorrow instead of 148th, she also thinks that
we should get through that way a lot faster tomorrow because it could’ve been that policeman who
was holding us up two afternoons ago.
I asked my mom if I should still ride with you or if I should ride with her and my dad on the
way to the meeting tomorrow, she then said that I should probably still ride with you because
she thinks that you assume I’m riding with you. Either way though, I’ll still have to ride with
you on the way back if we’re going for lunch. And even if I do start riding with my parents
again, I think it’s a good idea that you still go with us to our meetings because you work with
me and understand some of the problems...And I also like the idea of you and me going out for
lunch after the meetings.
My mom will tie my shoes before we leave
tomorrow if she hasn’t already done so before you get here. At White
Spot, you know I’ll order the two-piece fish and chips with Sprite to drink and the fish and
chips will probably come with coleslaw. The fish and chips usually just comes with one thing of
tartar sauce. My mom thinks that just one was enough for me the last couple times when I ate at
White Spot, but I can’t remember if I used two any of the times I went with Carol and am not
sure whether we should ask for two things of tartar sauce when we order tomorrow. And you can
pour the KETCHUP for me whenever I need more. Carol usually got the BC Burger when I went to
White Spot with her, but she didn’t get fries with it. My mom remembers Carol said that she had
gotten Dilly Bars a few times when she went to Dairy Queen but mom couldn’t remember if Carol
ever got a Dilly Bar any of the times when she went there with me. My mom remembers a few times
when she (Carol) went there with me she got this banana blizzard that she liked and she
said that it was good, not the Banana Split blizzard. I guess Carol got different things each
time I went there with her. I’m not like your mom and am okay with either a booth or just an
ordinary table at White Spot, when they seat us we can tell them that we want the darkest they
have that’s available at that time. Tomorrow’s still not suppose to be a bright day weatherwise
and you remember my mom said that a window should be okay if it’s like that, but the darker the
better.
Our appointment tomorrow shouldn’t be as long as two hours. The last few appointments I had
with my psychiatrist on Scott Road weren’t long at all, maybe not even a half hour long. When I
first started seeing her many years ago in January 1999, the first few appointments were an hour
long and then they continued to get shorter the more
we got to know each other.
See you tomorrow at 9AM.

P.S. Just as I was finishing typing this message, I
could hear my mom in the kitchen yell at Izzy to get down off the microwave and when my mom did
so Izzy didn’t get down and instead swatted at my mom.
