When will the guy get back from vacation? You've certainly been waiting for a long time - I just hope he doesn't jeopardize the completion of your paper. It's kind of strange that it's taking so long for him to respond these days - he always seemed so helpful before.

I hope the nausea and heartburn doesn't last much longer. I feel helpless watching you suffer - I'm sorry if sometimes it seems I'm ignoring you when you're in pain - I just don't know what to do. I guess if the pharmacist says Tums then Tums it is.

You've got a doctor's appointment tomorrow. Hope all goes well. Hopefully he can help with your discomfort too.

Still no news about your parents' visa status. Let's keep our fingers crossed that they'll make it - you'll be needing more time to relax in the months ahead.

Matthew seems to be doing good though - even if he is annoying you by doing stuff like messing up your old photos. I guess that just means we'll need to find a new hiding place for them.
