Dear T,
Either I missed your morning threshold (even though I sent it by 7:30) or else maybe you thought my email wasn't important enough (of course that's where my brain goes...). Perhaps it would have been better if I'd just continued with my assumption that you were only doing emergency emails. Instead of clarifying with you Wednesday and learning it's your usual policy. Perhaps you'll say something later in reply, I don't know. At least tomorrow morning.

It's partly that I've been anxious and also weepy off and on since yesterday, and I'm not totally sure why, so I think part of me just wants to see your name in my inbox. But it was easier to write about the stuff about my parents, and that's definitely contributing to the anxiety/sadness, though that was there before, too. I feel like I tend to be like that on New Year's, for whatever reason.

Love,
LT
