Didn't sleep very late but of course later than usual. As there wasn't anything special going on today I just took a bath and then washed my hair. Ev called and we decided we might as well goto the movies. We decided we would met after supper and then go to the Arch Street Theatre to see Joan Blondell and Melvyn Douglas in "Good Girls go to Paris" also a Mr Moto picture. Good picture but GGGTP was a scream. First time I've bee in that theatre. It's nice. We got a glass a piece because it seems tonight was ladies glassware night. Wonderful isn't it! Home and had something to eat, ouch my diet!

At long last things are beginning to straighten out and there is once more hope for the future of the F.Y.P. Karin came down to supper and all went well. Noa called and we were to meet her in front of the South Church. She didn't seem too enthused over Karin's presence and my hopes dimmed. She called back and said she would get a ride up so Karl took K and I to Ginny's. Ginny and Ev there and both so cordial and lovely, it was wunnerful - Come Noa and she was sweet and things looked bright. Came Dotty all bubbling over with Love and Good spirit and things got better and better. Noa had to leave early but the rest of us stayed and had a good conversation about men and men and it was just the way it should be - I'm happier than anything. Oh bliss ---

Worked until 6:00 again. Went to the movies straight from work. Ginny waited for us at the Candy Box. Betty M. and I met her there and had a coke and a hot dog. Went to Strand and saw "These Glamour Girls" with Lana Turner, Anita Louise, Jane Bryson, Lew Ayres, Tom Brown, and dozens of others. It was amusing light entertainment. The other picture was "The Forgotten Women" with Sigrid Gurie also good. I like her. We went into Contaris and had another coke there, home where I had a light supper and now at 12:00 I'm ready for bed. All we hear over the radio is news of war, war, war! All we can do is hope and pray it will soon be over.

Again I worked overtime. This has got to stop. I'm wearing myself out and I do mean it. I'm not losing any weight though darn it. Home and had supper and then spent the rest of the time listening to the radio, reading, and planning additions to my wardrobe. I only hope it will all turn out the way I planned it. Tomorrow I goto the movies with Ginny and that takes care of another evening. I'm not a bit sore from bowling but I had terrible cramps this afternoon probably from waiting in the rain for the bus last night!

I went bowling with the girls in the office after work tonight. My first score 57, second 71. I know I'm going to be lame tomorrow, I can feel it already. We enjoyed ourselves and I guess we're going to keep it up. After supper Karl drove me out to Karin's. She's ill in be with her usual cramps also cold etc. She was glad to see me as was her mother or so it seemed. I heard all about the new house their moving into and etc etc. Seeing as she and Mom are still on the outs I guess she has to tell someone. Oh well. When we were alone I asked K. if she noticed anything funny about meeting last time and she said the girls acted strangely. I said it was because she hadn't written or come to meeting all summer and she said she was mad cause we didn't come down to see her and well she didn't care if she ever came to meeting again. She's coming up Friday for supper and then we go to meeting!!
P.S.- I don't know, mad as I get at her I guess 12-13 years is too much of a habit to break. I still have a warm place in my heart for her.

Blue Monday and that's just about what it starts out to be. Our dept. worked overtime and I mean worked! Mart Klopp told me today she almost called me up last night because she could have fixed a date for me. She didn't because she didn't think of me until too late but she's going to get more particulars and tell me. Soo maybe in the future. I won't hold my breath - Asked Noa up and we planned my wardrobe and gee it sounds good- If only. I can do it now. Well I'm about frozen stiff so I think I'd better creep into bed. Noa wore her new jersey dress and was simply stunning.

Everyone conspired against me this morning. The first thing I heard was the babbling of children's voices: Ruthie, Laurie, and Marit as they got ready to go to Sunday School. I closed my eyes and tried to bury my head in the pillow and what happens, they have a parade! The band playing it's loudest walked right by the window. I gave up and got up. Ev called later on and asked if I'd like to go for a ride because she could get the car. We went down the shore. Called Noa and then over to see Ginny. It started to pour on the way home but it was wonderful. I love to ride in the rain. It was fun just the two of us.
