Anais Nin flies from New York to California, a 12-hour trip in those days, to live her double life with her husband Hugo in New York and her lover Rupert in California. It is no wonder she does not write nearly as much in her Diary as she has in the past - she is exhausted. The writing she does have time and energy for is letter writing. She appears to be in survival mode.
She nurtures herself by swimming in the pool. She relaxes herself with the occasional trip to Mexico. She comforts herself by letter writing and reading. She hasn't learned to say no. She doesn't seem to want to simplify her life.
