Royce to clean-
Worked on report for MCHS on Jim Thorpe book – Our possible profit of $3,500 if 2,000 books sold.
Carroll Elsey out at 2:30. Talk-Talk-Talk. Showed me his scrapbook – Life Lift Shoes – Electro Therapy – cars – story of 2 marriages & their breakups – now he wants me to pull his life together – selected me because of my accomplishments, high plane of living, etc. (didn’t mention my money) wants to treat me like “Miss America”. Took him & Dave to Jerry’s in Galion for dinner & then listened to his gibberish for another hour. Gave him some of Ray’s poems.

Low 32 High 40
Up to 40 & the 2″ ice on driveway was shovelable for first time since early Dec. I worked on it twice – total 30 minutes so asked Dave to finish it for guests tomorrw night. Absolutely refused & stomped out but later worked on it. When I asked him to help me load chairs & table for the shop his answer was “What do you want me to do – Shovel the ice or load the car?” – very nasty tone. So I loaded. Took wallpaper books to House of Design – will get beige suede look paper for living room. To Beaver Office Products to buy Olympia Electronic Compact typewriter $600 Secy Chair $90!!

To Calligraphy Class at Harding. No ink so no work.

Roads ice covered so no school. Dave went over to Chris’s until 1:00 – I worked on cemetery reocrds with program changes. Took Dave & Chris in town for Dave to take his driver’s license written test. Passed with an 85. He stayed with Chris at Chris’ grandmothers. I went to Gloria Marshall’s – shopped at Big Bear. Once I got home just didn’t want to go out for Altrusa.
