JANUARY 15

1939 Sunday 10:42 (I wish Ray would come every wkend - Maybe I'd stand a chance w/ Rolf)
- I went noble + washed the dishes while the folks (+ Bill's + Jean's) went to a movie this aft. V + I went for a walk + nearly froze our legs it was so cold We stopped in for a cup of hot chocolate + Rolf talked w/ us
1940 Monday - I am utterly out - (Leonard + Bill) pasted pictures - took society shots - I had no idea when it came to really taking them - T. Dorsey and we didn't go - Couldn't have stood up.
1941 Day Desultory... At least I definitely was not crushed. Glenn Miller is playing S of Volga Boatmen. Tres swell. Had a simply crushing letter from Bob... Law... and not just a passing jag. I am now going to try + write him something encouraging. God knows what. Also Del + Jo - need replying to!
1942 Tres fatigue. Gave Design test - all day. So tired I could hardly finish dinner! Emil + Wilber + John were almost hi after their Zao test -
1943 FRI finished 4 posters... quite good. Leonard wandered in + affectionately pinched my knee once - fresh. I told him he'd better study his history when he wondered what there was to do this wk-end (DAMMIT). Cut out yellow p.j.s

1939 11:40 tonight we lost the b.b. game with S. Falls College! Tommy played hard he was fouled out, though ( I could still like him an awful lot) today (Sat) I cleaned the house, washed hair + me + mimeographed 500 post cards
1940 11:30 Margaret + I went to A. Wolcott. He is the acme of raconteurs + besides he's marvelous. I really wonder if it is we who pass + change + that time is constant... That the future is already laid out! - Spitznagel said he's thought he has a job in a ritzy new house in the hills!
1941 1- WELL, I GUESS IT'S LOVE; BUT I'M NOT INCLUDED IN THE SET-UP... FREDDIE FINALLY CAME THROUGH... HE REALLY THINKS HE'S IN LOVE WITH HER AND HAS GONE WITH HER ABOUT 2 YEARS (HE SHOULD KNOW BY THIS TIME) - STILL SAYS HE WOULD LIKE TO GO WITH ME, THOUGH. AND WHO AM I TO TURN DOWN A FELLOW LIKE HIM... BUT I SUPPOSE IT WILL BE PRETTY PLATONIC... HOW BORING-
1942 1:09 Well, Mother's premonition was right. We met Eleanor on the 11:55. She's sleeping with Mother - Emil + I talked + walked this afternoon. My God - I wasn't wrong; I'm sorry.
1943 1:15 VIRGINIA + I WENT TO Once Upon a Honeymoon. WE HAD TO SWAT OUT MY CORNER IN THE BUFFET; IT MADE ME FEEL empty, TOO... FINISHED A POSTER THIS AFT... PEGGY WROTE - SHE + DONNA WILL MEET ME, THANK Goodness.
