Hi,
You sound better today.
Jack is still putting too much on you.
Part of the negotiation to stay could involve that he has to give all the baths for example.
Also, he has to be nicer to you as Donna suggested -- it seesm that Jackie is picking up on Jacks's vibe.
Just so you know, the finanical aid deadline is not a real deadline. Students apply for aid all during the year.

I'm soooooo happy that you got clear on the no chance Virginia trip. I am glad that that is settled.
I wish you lots of luck on your new plans. You have a new beginning here in a sense.

M.
