I slept twelve hours last night and felt great today. Before I left to clean Larry and Alma's house, my boss at Ruth's and Marie's called and told me that Marie's daughter decided not to declare me on income tax, and that I would be paid $15.00 a night for eleven hours, if I come back to work for her. I accepted, and start again tonight. the difference between cash and being declared to the government is $4.00, and now I will get it.

I spent three and three-quarter hours cleaning at Larry's. He paid me $70.00 for last week and today.

I went to three different grocers with coupons for staple goods, and spent $60.00, minus $8.00 in coupons. I got my CB radio antenna hooked up in my car. When Sonny is finished with my car, it will be set for winter too. I wish he'd hurry up and do the remainder, especially the transmission. It makes going very far from home impossible.

I cleaned the desk and it's contents today. I made brackets for the piano chair backrest cushion out of hanger iron, and need to buy screws to finish it. I put the repair materials from all the repairs in the garage, or wherever they belonged. My house is looking great again.

My male dog has quit crying in the middle of the night, which he's done since the cigarette burning incident. I am ready to go back to work full time nights.
