April 17: I called Mom today. I said, ”Mom, I’m pregnant.” She made a sort of wailing sound and hung up.

I decided I would call Dad right away. Not that I think that he and Mom would normally talk to one another, but you never know. So I called him and said, ”Dad, I’m pregnant.” There was what seemed like five minutes of icy silence on the the other end of the line, and then he said, ”Really, my dear? I can direct you to a good abortion clinic.”

Lucy called. She giggled and sounded a bit drunk. She told me she’d always known that I would turn out to be the black sheep of the family.

”Hey, Jim, whas-a-matter?”

He turned bright red, then he stuttered, ”You, eh, you’re beginning to show a little. It looks, eh, really nice on you.”

I could fell myself blushing. Then I just got up from my chair and went up to him and gave him a hug.”Thanks, Jim,” I whispered. ”I guess you’re the first one who’s complimented me on this pregnancy so far.”

August 19: So here’s the long and short of it. Dr Klein tells me I can’t work. I had to call Perry and tell him. And he informed me, regretfully, that if I couldn’t work, then he would have to let me go and hire another reporter who could do the work in my place. What could I tell him? You can’t fire me, Perry? But he could, and he had to.

October 18: I’m running out of money, as I can’t work. For now, I’m staying here at Star Labs, in the good care of Dr Klein and Dr Kingley. But I don’t have a job, and I fear I’m about to lose my apartment as well.

November 26: I got an eviction note today.
