From: Kathie Gagne <gagneka@sbac.edu> To: Gagne, David Subject: Nice Sent: May 24, 2002 5:16 AM David, It was pretty nice of you to call last night because you thought I would be lonely. I had just fallen asleep when you called, so I don’t remember what I said, but thanks. Jen called a little […]
Jen came Wednesday after work to give Fingerpup a bath, but she wasn’t feeling well, so it didn’t get done that day. Her house was cold — she brought a suitcase and planned to stay until Friday morning. But, by Friday, she was still pretty sick. She didn’t even go to work today. She slept […]
Betsy Shenckman said they were hoping to make a decision by today. But she didn’t call. I hope they didn’t call Jim and get a negative reference for me. Or maybe it’s good news and she’s waiting until she can get me more money. Missing Salty. Cleaned out one of the places where she got […]
Salty is gone. It turned out her kidneys were failing. We tried pretty heroic measures (sub-cutaneous fluids 2cc a day, medications), but she got worse. She hadn’t really eaten anything or kept anything down since about 5 days ago. But she was still smiling. And, then, she started laying around, almost out of it. If […]

When I got home from seeing Susan yesterday, there was a message from Peggy Mathes at CCR. I was heading there anyway to drop off my application, so I stopped in to see her and she offered me the job at $35,000. Then she said they wanted to know if I would move to Palatka. […]
I had my first interview yesterday with a small company called BCN, Associates. I’m still not exactly sure what the job entails (neither are they), and I was really nervous about it, but I think it went very well. Apparently, they found my resume very impressive, and I’m pretty sure they really liked me. Weird. […]
It’s been a rough week — lots of fears, lots of immobility, lots of eating and feeling lonely. Sometimes I feel as if I’m learning all kinds of things and changing — working to get better while accepting myself more. Other times I feel stuck, as if I physically can’t move forward or ahead, and […]
Photos from mom
This is one of the very few letters I have from mom in which she mentions Reebok, our German Shepherd.
