Dear Still-horseless Stranger, July 25th

I was told that I might be going home soon, but not sure if trust. I am sort of getting the feeling that they are simply not sure what to do with me. Sigh. But there's some hope, I guess, that they are indeed not lying to me and I might sleep in my own bed soon. Speaking of beds, I am sorry to hear about your insomnia. I sometimes have troubles falling asleep, but I doubt that's the same. This will probably be a silly question, but have you tried counting sheep?

Now I want your cat here even more. Maine Coons always look so majestic! A friend of mine used to have one, not sure if he still has her. She was fully white and such a lazy butt, haha. Also not very cuddly, bummer. But soooo pretty. I'm not sure you can send pictures through here, but if you want to, you can send them to cherryblossom konoha com . I will have a look at them.

You are right about the studies. I've had some more time to think about it and I will continue. I did not look at it from the perspective of it being something stable, though. I think that is a very nice view to have on the matter. You are very wise, my friend :)

Also, the talk about the wedding was almost torture for me! I wish I were there. I've not been to many weddings in my life, but I'm a girl. Of course, I've dreamed of being a bride myself one day. Proclaiming your love to someone under stars really does sound like something from a fairy tale. It might be something that I will never have, given my current situation.

I hope that your Monday wasn't too bad in the end and that you've had a nice Tuesday and Wednesday as well. If they do release me from the hospital, maybe I could send you some fluffy slippers, so that your feet don't get cold :P I hope you like pink, mwahaha.

Yours truly,

Hopeful Stranger

That is some, potential, good news! I hope that they will keep their word and send you home soon. If not, I will call them and order them to do it anyway (I might not have a horse, but I do have a phone).

As for the sheep question, yes. I have. I am not sure how that can be helpful to anyone, really. In my head, I see the sheep jumping over the fence and all I can think of is how that fence could look so much better if there was some nice carving done to it, you know? There are tips and tricks on the internet that should supposedly help you fall asleep, but many of them are not useful. Some of them are not that bad, however, there is no easy fix for this. Majority of the good stuff takes time before you see any results.

Sorry if the wedding talk made you too sad. I've not been to many wedding myself, but I am seeing more of my friends getting pets together as couples or getting engaged. So I am predicting an increase in weddings in my vicinity in the upcoming years. Now we are both qualified seers, don't you think? :)

The start of the week sucked, but on Wednesday, your letter made it all better and that feeling carried me all the way to today. Now I'm home and ready to enjoy some free time this weekend. I have a book that I wanted to read for a while but didn't get to it yet. It's called Girls he adored by Jonathan Nasaw. Now, I know it sounds a bit like a romance book, but it is actually a psychological thriller. It was recommended to me by a friend. He said I'd like it, so I am willing to give it a shot. You got any books you like? Maybe detective books, since you are studying to be a journalist? Or is that too much of a cliché?

Your friend
