Have to work tomorrow and so I didn’t go home tonight.
Wally is coming down in about 1/2 hour. Helen Hecht came down this morning for some milk for a kitten. When I took it up she gave me some pills for menstrual – “Seeqit” But I didn’t need and today quit (sic) surprising.
Express bills sure are a mess. Figured value charges wrong & what a time to correct them. Wally down. Woe is me. He isn’t good for me.
