people I knew Saturdays at work are quiet except for one thing. People keep asking me if I've heard from Ann and my answer to them is always the same. No. I wish that it were otherwise. A month has passed since I last saw her and I haven't heard from her at all. I thought that by now she would have returned at least one of the email messages that I've sent her, but she hasn't. I keep thinking that her life must still be in a complete mess which is why she seems to have dropped off of the earth as far as I can tell. Maybe I'll have an answer some time soon. I don't know. She was a part of my life for almost two years and it feels very strange not having her in it anymore. Usually I lose contact with someone over a period of time. Very seldom does it happen in a single day. Then again Ann was unlike anyone else that I had ever known. Someone else at work did get an email from her earlier this week and he said that she is under a lot of stress. Just sending the email was a struggle for her. Hearing this gave me mixed emotions. On the one hand I had some insight into her current situation, but at the same time she didn't contact me. ... Elizabeth McGovern is still keeping me interested in Alias Grace. I might even have to bring the tapes inside instead of just listening to them in my car. ... Spring break for me is next week and in all honesty I have nothing special planned. It'll be nice not having to drive to the east side of Milwaukee for a week, but other than that one small change my life will be the same as any other week. ... I seem to be at a loss for words today and I don't know why either. There aren't any funny stories to tell. In fact I didn't get to talk with Nicole at all Friday night Saturday morning at work. Nor do I have any new rants about work. My reading has come to a standstill except for travel books. Movies have also dropped out of my cultural calendar. Maybe I'm just waiting for my weekend to start.
