Breakin

(1970 May 11)

I was locked out in the rain with no hat, good pink suit under raincoat (thank Heaven) - best walking shoes - etc. The whole picture flashed before me and I at once faced up to the situation, trod to the garage for the dandelion digger and heavy office chair. These I carried to the flower bed of mud. ... Using the dandelion digger, I pried the screen off, stood on the chair and pushed up the window, snapped the shade to the top, moved the night stand over. When I got myself as far as the sill, I removed first one shoe and then the other. Woops! I was in - then undoing the door catch, I went out once more and put all away, came in, peeled off my clothes and cleaned my shoes. "There's a dance in the old dame yet!"
