Thurs.
Mrs. S had her baby, so I went over to a friend’s
house & studied instead of sitting. Mrs. S had
mentioned the possibility of its coming early, &
so it did. She had a lady lined up to come full
time as soon as she went to the hosp. Mr. S.
called & left the message. I must call & get
the scoop.

My Wed. job is the greatest. The house is
a simple, uncluttered, extremely comfortable moderm
in very good taste & always spotless. The baby
is 11 mo., asleep when I get there & most of the
time I'm there. Contour diapers are also nice.
She always has a do-it yourself lunch laid
out for me, & the hi-fi playing softly in the
living room. I wish they were all like that.

This week I am having one of those charming
little summer colds & a mild case of poison
oak. I seem to have lost my immunity. I'll
never forget the look on that boy's face when
he spotted me leaning against a branch plastered
with the stuff. I am ignoring both conditions &
they had better oblige by going away. The
deadline is 10 days.

I was up at Rudy's last night after I finished
studying, for a short before bedtime beer. Liz
looks wonderful. She doesn't even use her cane
anymore. I have run into Denny Murphy up
there on several occasions. Something is going
to have to be done about him by me. I think that
his being a reprobate is just lovely if that's his
