Here I am again, a little high but still here. Today was just an ordinary day. Began work at 8:30 AM (today being Sunday) and except for a few interruptions, secured at 11:45 AM.
Ate lunch and after that decided to go ashore where--so I did. It was a nice day and we drank beer and drank beer until--I had to go but it rained like "H" so I had to wait or go out and get wet. I don't know what I was afraid of, I was all wet anyhow. But I did wait, not more than five minutes when the rain stopped and I started to (?).
We got back at 5:00 PM and after showering and changing, I ate a hearty meal and now here I am.
The movie tonight is an oldie and not very good. Paul Lucas in it. I don't know the title but I'll tell you more about it tomorrow.
Well Sweet, I hope you won't be disgusted with me tonight but there isn't another thing I can say. I didn't receive any mail today again, so tomorrow I'll hit the jackpot, at least I hope so.
Goodnight darling, I love you and wish we were together. Love and Kisses to you and my two itsy bitsies.
Your loving husband,
Gil
