No one came all day, just Chas, Gladie & I alone. Ted & Thelma went to Pike & on up to Freda's at Silverton. Gladie went to a show, I guess. I spent the evening in tears and broken heart and so blue could hardly live, that's my life, I guess. Mon Nov 30 - Clear & cold, big freeze. Did up usual work.
