Just got back from work, before hitting the hay. "I woke up and I found myself crying": Long bad dream about him, they were quarrelling and he despised her as much as he says he loves her. Lonely. "I thought of Texas a but last night, I was very lonesome for it. Not that I like Texas that much but I guess I was thinking of being there with you, and that was really our first home and we had such a wonderful time." Man asked her if she was pregnant or getting fat. Can be both, she "ate the green apples" (way of saying for pregnancy?). "Chin up, honey".
