Nothing Much Else Happened: February 24, 1978

Today, I didn't go to school, except for my period 2 Math class. After I got out of school, Dand and I went to a store and bought Birthday cards for Mom and signed them. And then we sent them off to Mother, who left for Florida this morning. Oh, I forgot to tell you about her departure. Well, it was nothing special. Dad and I got up, took mother to the airport, and dropped her off. Later in the afternoon, our friends, the Richerts came. They are leaving for Africa with their 7-year-old daughter, Janna in the morning.

This explains why I'm doing this. Maybe.

Nothing Much Else Happened: February 23, 1978

Today, I missed school completely — just stayed home and rested. But since tomorrow's Friday, I have to go to school because I have to take a test in English and History. Since I stayed home, I wasn't able to go to the opening night of "Harvey". I hope it's doing alright. (It's on right now.) This is the first time I've ever missed an opening night of one of my dad's shows. Tomorrow, mother leaves for Florida on her yearly trip to Florida. I can't bear to see her go. Grandma is coming over while mom is gone.

Nothing Much Else Happened: February 22, 1978

Today was another of those "very strange" days. I went to my 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th classews, and came home at lunch. Then I sunbathed some more and read a lot of my "Alice In Wonderland" book. I'm just about done with it, and when I finish, I will do a book report about it for English class. My mother also had a conference with my math teacher, Mr. Farnsworth, and he says that I'm "a worry-wart." Right now, we are studying geometry, and I think I am getting it, although I lost a math book that we are working in. (Oh-oh)

Having fun yet? That wasn't a consideration of mine when I started this.

Nothing Much Else Happened: February 21, 1978

Today was a very strange day. When I woke up, I felt worse than before. So, my mother decided that I stay home, except for my math class. So, that's exactly what I did. I slept in until 8:00, got ready and went to school at 9:00. When math was over, I left school around 10:15. Then, my mom and I went downtown and bought some sponges, came home, and I sunbathed for the better part of the day. I also read alot and worked on my sewing project for school.

Nothing Much Else Happened: February 20, 1978

Today was another holiday! I went bowling, and had the greatest day I ever had bowled. I had a 109, 158, 137, and 120! My average was 131 — the highest average I've ever had in a single day! My overall average is 106. I came home and didn't do a thing except play with the kids. They're over their flu, and seem as good as ever. I wish I was over my cough. I still feel lousy. Well, tomorrow I have to go back to school — blech. I don't want to go back!

Nothing Much Else Happened: February 17, 1978

I went to bed last night an hour earlier than usual, but it didn't help. My math test was harder than I expected. As the day wore on, I got sleepier and sleepier and dizzier and dizzier. By PE, I was so messed up that I couldn't dress for gym. When I came home, We went to my guitar lesson and made it through. Then I came home, ate dinner, and here I am at 7:15 p.m. going to sleep. I'm sorta sick, and I want to be able to bowl tomorrow.

I wasn't usually sick in 1978, but I may have been when I decided to post this.
