January 9, 1990

            Nancy came in from work around midnight just when I was starting to develop some photographs.

I printed a close-up of Brenda’s bum in chequered pants and I finished a little after 1:00.

I managed to at least get Nancy to sleep in the same bed as me. I put my arm around her and her heart was racing like that of a bunny rabbit tied to a jackhammer. I kissed her face a few times and gently rubbed my face against hers for a while. I fell asleep holding her and after a few hours she asked me to let her sleep untouched for now.

I said, “Sure” and moved away, satisfied that I’d made some progress.
