We got up at the usual time, had a half day off – I had breakfast at 8.00
I typed on my journal from 9.00 until 12.30 – brought in the chair from the back where it
has been taken and typed in a little nook between my bed and Laura’s and Ruth’s, putting the typewriter on my crates and though people were in and out they didn’t bother me any and I made satisfying progress – I also typed a 2 page statement in response to a request from Jim that everyone turn in their feelings about what he had said at a recent meeting – I was told this concerned the confrontation with Ricardo Atterberry and I had difficulty of thinking what Jim had said at that time- however, I went into the situation at the time, comments Jim had made on other occasions and my own observations
I did some personal chores, took a shower and shampooed my hair
Few people were in the cottage today, though the residents weren’t working in the yard either
I worked on journal entries
Dinner was at about 5.00. – we had cheese rice and greens
I read news from the board
I sewed on my skirt all evening until about 8.00 – I have pieces sewed all the way around, now have to work on getting it at the proper length – went for my treat – I got an extra piece of fudge for my “Excellent-plus” paper; actually for some reason I was given 3 but I believe the young person handing them out was too generous
Read Yeats the rest of the evening
Inez is very unhappy over her supervisory role in the cottage – the determining factor, in my opinion, is her anger over the lack of sympathy shown when she was ill – also, some of the residents (we can’t be sure who they are) leave dirty dishes in the cottage, won’t cooperate with the request to keep the boot rack cleaned up, leave their belongings even wet clothes, on others’ crates – the commotion in the evenings is annoying and also difficulties of getting the cottage quiet at 11.00 – Inez may be more disturbed then I by night workers coming and going – I rarely hear them lately – Inez wants to give up her supervisory position – I don’t know when we may expect Versie and Eleanor to return from Georgetown
I went to bed around 11.00
