night to Feb. 3rd.
Three years later, I left my job as a Technical Writer at U.S. Life in New York City (documenting the info on huge room-size computers). Back then, the rule at U.S. Life. was to work only until you were 5 months pregnant, which was Jan. 21 in my case, though Lynn Meredith was actually born on May 12.
Tuesday, Feb.1, 1966 - "Our third anniversary...I slept in the morning for an extra couple of hours after dusting...Took an afternoon nap too. Took me a while, but I finally got going on the April "Lines of Communication" late in the afternoon. I'll probably finish it tomorrow. Had a nice steak dinner.
Vi called and so did Mom & Dad P. The baby dressette was delivered today. It's nice. I put all of the baby stuff (coupon samples) in the first drawer of the 5... Dan finished the income tax returns, did the cash flow, and worked on the blue still life. I read. We both watched Johnny Carson until
12:30. I seem to sleep better if I stay up past 11:00."
I was writing a newsletter for U.S. Life, continuing it just for a month or two. Vi (Veronica) Saletta was Dan's older sister, born 16 years before Dan. Like the rest of the family, she and her husband, Chuck, lived in the Chicago area. As a mother-to-be, this was a new experience - and so was not going to work. I'd had my first (part-time) job at 14.
