Dear Mom,

Whhaaahaahaa. I know I can cry to you my dear and cherished Mom. Some of the Sisters here have been pierced by the briars and thorns of life, stung by the scorpions tail, not to mention stabbed by the needles of cactus. It has been a sad time and I have wept many a salty tear. Whhaaahaahaa. Oh, whhaaahaahaa.

As a result, my appetite has been rather lost. Last night at dinner I didn't even have dessert! (It was a kind of custard I don't like.) Today, though, I feel a bit more 'up' and I'm heading for the dining room now.

Love,
Panther
