Dear MC,
My first thought was, "wait, that's all you're saying to that?" But then I realized that I didn't really need you to say anything more than you did--you were letting me know that you'd read my e-mail, and that you care. You've spoiled me lately with longer responses (let alone the phone call), when you used to often not even respond at all. So, thanks for all the time and thought and care you've given me. Some things just don't call for a long answer. I shouldn't assume something negative because of it, like that you were annoyed by the e-mail or feel I'm being melodramatic or something.

Also, when exactly do you sleep? During the last 6 months or so, you've now e-mailed me as late as 1:30 a.m. and as early as 6 a.m. I hope you're getting some rest in there and a break from your work (because I know that's what I am, part of your job, hard as that can be to accept at times).

Love,
LT
