Good day at work today. Chris and I had discussion over odds. Leitzinger's del carpet for laundry room. Called Shirley at lunch time
To see how Jim was doing.
Evening Shirley called and said
Jim was discharged.
Doubt if that was
The smartest thing to do.
We'll see later.

Driving a leased Ford. I was asked to bring it inside
And fix wipers & squirters.

People came today and
Laid carpet in laundry and bathroom area.
Paul P. told me I would receive
35 cents an hour raise for the year.
I told him I would not stay
For that kind of money
And I damn well mean it.
Today was the third day in a row
That I missed the daily lottery
By one digit.
Tomorrow I intend to win.

Had trouble starting the car
This morning
Mary had appointment for eye exam
And she drove up with me
To bring the car back
For her own use. I called Dave
And made appointment for car
To go to garage this next Monday.
Another do nothing day in the lab.
Sure does get on my nerves.
Maybe things will change.
Used wood burner tonight.
Shirley was over for a while.
Took Mildred to market.
