Dear Lucille,I hope you are right and that Tom will get back ok. I have slept little the last couple of days but I tried to straighten out some of my things. I still have hundreds of bottles of ointments and half-empty medicines, which I can't afford to throw away. Still haven't gotten Shayne on the telephone: I left the message that it is time for her re-enrollment or she will be fined 136 euro per month as before. I had to remember to give Buzzer her dry food in the morning, as Tom usually does that before he leaves for work. I thank you for sending the gifts and for getting the package off so quickly. I am curious to read the regulations, although, as I predicted, they would arrive too late. I found an old, electric heating iron and used it yesterday. Well, I just wait and look forward to seeing Tom.
