5-year review

(1959 December 7)

I am taking Monday off to devote to a few things Polly wants to do as I have been too devoted perhaps to the needs of the house and the family. Sometimes when I write in my diary at night - I am now on the 5th year again - and I look up the page and see that I have done just about the same thing on the same day in the past five years, I begin to wonder if I could do better if I tried harder; however, I have tried to find a good time to write all week and haven't - so today this is first!
