The misery of the pregnancy continues and I can identify with Mamie's entry on the 24th. There's no way to convey how the entry trailed off down the side, yet the frustration is clear enough in the words. This is why I'm unable to maintain a daily journal for it ends up being filled with illness and pain which nobody would want to read -- especially me.

Once again the sheer amount of socializing amazes me. They were different times.
