Dear joanna:

I understand. I understand “hope, however illogical” very well. You do have the option, I figure, to call him and let him know that you will be sending his stuff to him, but having the hope you do, I think you will be keeping the Thursday meeting. Do you think you will be thinking a lot about it from now till Thursday? Maybe if you wrote down a few scenarios of how it is likely to happen, you can plan for each one, plan what you will say and how you react.

Maybe such planning will reduce the amount of time you will be re-playing the anticipated event Thursday and feeling nervous?

* Will be back to the computer in about seventeen hours or so.
