MONDAY
Fair. In the morning I dusted, etc & counted my clothes - I have 4 sweaters (pink, dark pink, blue, red), 4 dumb looking skirts (3 really - red, pink, dark blue, & plaid pink & blue - dumb looking all.), + 4 blouses & 5 dresses. I listened to radio, ate lunch. In the afternoon I painted my nails (3 coats, 1 transparent (3 in all)) & tried to sell necklaces - no success. So I played with Bobby. When she got home & went to the store (D.G.S.) Dolores came over before supper & stayed late - I rode my bike to her house. I got my allowance - 15¢. I had $7.33 +.15 = 7.48 - have $7.48 now.

Transcription Notes:
Unsure how to properly transcribe her handwritten math problem based on the $7.33 written in the last sentence where she adds it up to get her total amount of money. Difficult to format properly in line with typed text.
