[R: there is a funny symbol here she makes that I’ve marked with an asterisk like I
did on the other journals. In the other journals she used it to then continue writing
about the same entry but in a later place. Anyway, here there is no other asterisk
and I’m wondering if maybe the bottom of the page got cut off and so we don’t
have that?]
