Transcription: Left page:
But then, the next day, the
tide seemed to turn for
the better.
Will came over yesterday
bought flowers & food. We
talked Puerto Rico.
This summer has been
yet another endurance test
of heat, Kelly's stress (Clost
summer, it was Jane's heat)
and pain, my additional tasks
and end of year
bookkeeping.
Something this combination
needs to change - and
the only party under my
control one to!

Right page:
get bookkeeping done
monthly by myself & figure
out more work -
Garden
Laundry
Cooking
Kitchen clean-up
Bookkeeping - month by month
