THE MUCH-APPRECIATED FRIENDLY MESSAGE TO ME THAT I RECEIVED TODAY FROM YOLANDA EDRINGTON, DIRECTOR OF THE NATIONAL SEXUAL VIOLENCE RESOURCE CENTER IN HARRISBURG, PENNSYLVANIA:

This friendly e-mail letter (below) I received today from the female Director of the National Sexual Violence Resource Center in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, has given me grounds for hope today after I was again awakened repeatedly in the middle of my sleep this morning as I lay ALONE --I ALWAYS SLEEP ALONE --- on my own bed inside my bolt-locked and fully-secured solo-occupancy apartment unit, Apartment 2418 in Building 17 at Pebble Creek Apartments, 8805 North Plaza Drive in north Austin. According to my bedside standard diary, I was abruptly awakened during my sleep this morning at roughly 3:30 a.m.; 6:45 a.m; 7:40 a.m.; 9:20 a.m.; and, later, at 10:40 a.m. I had gone to bed at about 2 a.m. after taking a bath. Generally when I am awakened in the middle of the night I hear the faint sound of music playing from a nearby apartment unit---which always strikes me as very odd at that hour of the night.

Some of the usual symptoms of an illegal hidden intruder in my bolt-locked apartment unit that I again experienced this morning: discomfort in my anus (despite my high-fiber diet and despite the fact that I DO NOT have anal cancer), and an urgent need to urinate. I made three or more trips to the bathroom this morning after being awakened abruptly with no intruder visible, and I did confirm each time that my front door was bolt-locked and locked properly.

One difference this morning: I did not make any note in my bedside standard diary this morning about any unpleasant nasal-inhalant sensation in my nostrils, which I generally do note in my diary after being awakened abruptly again in the middle of my sleep (I DO NOT OWN OR USE ANY NASAL INHALANTS!) ---
