Clara Steen Skott diary, 1948-1952

January 21

JANUARY 21
1948.  Aspirin gargles + Vit. C. Check my sore throat + other germs.  But I wasn't much good.  Managed to do my library stint in P.M. Twice as many as last Wed!
1949. Home at 12:30.  Had no classes in PM on acct of big show in gym.  So went home, cleaned house + got nap.  Hans + I showed pics to his class + [illegible] + kids.  They brought food + I made coffee.  12 by the time we got it clean up.
21 degrees 1950. Went to Madison for liver shot on 10 bus, back about 12:45.  My blood count now up to 80, so getting over anemia.  Baked oatmeal banana cookies.  Signe here for supper + work on uniforms - elec. outlets put in for my ironing board + 3 more in basement.
1951.  Church begins now at 9:45.  I sold several more tickets to Mother-Daughter banquet.  Sig out in P.M.  Tess Ziegler here a while.  I cut more than 100 folders - deckled edge - for banquet programs.  We played 500.
1952. Drove down town.  Got new fluorescent bulb for hall, new pen point.  Drove to Shorewood Pharmacy for nitroglycerin tablets.  Hans took 1 at 11, 1 at 3.  [Wm. Zierfluh?] here to see him.  Ed Kromrey in eve.  Hans in SE bedroom.
