Got “Fiesta in Mexico” by Erna Ferguson.  Asked for Woolcott’s “While Rome Burned” or his “Reader” – No luck on them – cleaned my room.  Somehow the sun always seems to shine brighter after I’ve cleaned my room.  Changed the furniture around again too.   had a sore throat since Thursday so I bought another bottle of stuff to gargle.  Read Erna Fergusons “Fiesta in Mexico” until after 10 P.M.
