Greetings Dear Diary Friends, Dr. Rubber Duckie here. I am writing this by way of explanation for our Liebchen's absence. She will be taking a sabbatical for the month of October. This month is full of high holy days and is a time of introspection. She and I both agreed that to give her full attention to this would be a good thing. Our Leibchen is also suffering from the most severe case of writer's doldrums it has ever been my misfortune to encounter. Between you and me, I am quite alarmed at her lackluster efforts in that department these last few weeks. It has put her in quite a funk, I can tell you. You know how these artistic temperments can fluctuate. . . You may rest assured, she will be under my close observation. I have also been in touch with some of my most esteemed colleagues, seeking out innovative treatments for her condition. I have guarded optimism that she will be recovered enough by November first to return and celebrate her three year anniversary here at Dear Diary. I know how much she values your friendship, and I am sure she will be keeping abreast of your diaries. So until November, Auf Wiedersehen Dr. Rubber Duckie Ph.D. Certified Aquatic Therapist Tub Division
