Sondra,
    Just recently I was at the book store and picked up the book you 
suggested ages ago, 'Women Who Run With the Wolves'.  I has been a most 
introspective book which is taking me much time to read.  I read one story 
and then head back to the first one, to reread it again.  So needlesss to 
say, I haven't gotten far at all reading it, but I'm getting so much out of 
it.  Thanks so much for the suggestion.
    Since I spoke  to you last, I have been asked to teach full time, 
starting the 25th of this month.  This is such a wonderful turn of events, 
and very much look forward to that day.  Last night I worked the last of my 
14 hour days.  The full time job, plus subbing at school at night has made 
for some really long days / weeks lately.  The new schedule will be 1-10 p 
M-Th and Fri 8-3 or 4 p.  I won't have to work weekends unless there is a 
graduation or other special occasion.  So for now I am very much looking 
forward to today ending so I can come home at 5:30 and go to bed.  Next week 
I only have to sub in the evenings, so it will give me a few days to get 
caught up on rest and try to start cleaning up the house, bird cages etc.
    Gotta' run  for now, and get ready for work.  Do take very 
special care, your friendship is quite special to me.
                                          Patti
