Written at 9:00 PM at home. Sylvia was jittery the day before, waiting for a call from him, even though he had warned her not to expect him to be in touch. It is so strange not knowing where he is. Spent her first day in Intake at work and liked it.
Notes that her nephew David is darling. Reports on friends.
