(I told Jane that I’d had a half-remembered dream of my own last night, involving my going back to work for Stu Komer of the old Artistic plant. I was working on a new kind of greeting card that could, I think, actually be quite successful. If I had time I’d make a dummy of one to show Jane how it works, for it utilizes two pieces of embossed paper and messages to deliver its import. Quite original, I think, a creative accomplishment.

(As soon as Carol left, Jane’s hands began to hurt and rotate in a new way at the same time, as if the palms were trying to turn up. “They haven’t been able to turn up in years,” Jane said. It was another great sign, I told her. Her right arm lifted and rotated. I hated to interrupt her new motions by turning her on her left side, but she was ready to go. She said the fingers on her right hand are trying to loosen, as I massaged them with Oil of Olay. I went over her body as usual, dehypnotizing it.
