Busy day

(1957? June?, Tuesday)

I baked a cake, got supper, helped the painter set back the furniture on the varnished upstairs floor & do odd things before he figured up his bill (counting on fingers at kitchen table) and helped Mrs. Gray houseclean M's room until 4 p.m. which had been used to park canvases, ladders etc. and still had enough vim to wash the dishes, talk MM into a hot bath, shampoo her sandy hair and wash one batch of filthy camp clothes besides fix a place for the turtle in the laundry tub in the basement.
