Dear Tired Stranger, July 19th
Oops, sorry my reply is coming in so late. I was so surprised that I got a response that I completely forgot to write you back. I am, however, proud to tell you, that there's a new nurse who thinks I'm hilarious. Unfortunately for me, he only has night shifts, so we don't get to chat very often. Other than that, still bored.
Are you sure you don't have a horse stashed somewhere, though? I could really use an escape plan from here at this point. Whenever I ask the doctors when I will be free to go home, they basically just dodge and avoid my question, ugh. It seems as if days are dragging even slower now. All I do all day is sleep or watch movies and series on a laptop my mom brought for me. I think that I can recite every episode of Friends by this point.
It would be dope if your cat could visit me here. At least some excitement in this dull white room! What type of cat is it? I am imagining.. a Siamese! I'm sure you are impressed with my prediction powers now, haha.
You must be the first carpenter I've ever talked to. I'm studying to be a journalist, but I am not sure if I should just drop out and go enjoy what time I still have. I've got a little more time to think about it, it will be another two months before the semester starts here. I don't like the idea of quitting though. It has been on my mind a lot, lately. Got any advice?
Yours truly,
Pondering Stranger
Dear Pondering Stranger, July 23nd
It's Sunday night right now. Technically it is Monday already. Damn you, insomnia. It has been a busy week at the shop and even busier weekend at home. My cousin was getting married and I was his best man. It was a beautiful wedding, it is quite warm here and the ceremony was held outside. It looked a bit like a fairytale, white tents under the stars when they exchanged their vows. I was thinking of you - it would definitely be nice for you to be there instead of in a hospital.
And as much as I am indeed impressed with your prediction powers, they are not quite right, hehe. I have a Maine Coon cat. She was the smallest kitten from the whole litter, so I often call her little beast, but even like this, she is anything but little. If there was a way to send you a picture, I would. She would for sure cause a lot of trouble if she were there with you. I have three scratching posts yet she somehow still does damage to random things in my house. Thankfully, nothing too pricey or important.
As for your school, I think you should definitely keep studying. You never know, it might bring you on a path that you did not foresee. Also, with all of the changes – wouldn't it feel better to have at least some routine to go back to?
I guess I should go back to trying to sleep before I have to wake up in three hours. This will be one difficult Monday. I'm gonna get a glass of water and try my luck.
Your friend
Still-horseless Stranger
P.S.: I forgot to hit sent so I thought I would update you on the fact that the tiles in my kitchen are rather cold to my bare feet.
