There was a word erased before 'vacuum' - it looks like it said 'I might as well make up my blooming vacuum of a brain to that.' I do not know if the word was erased due to content - did blooming count as a cuss in those days? - or if it was simply an error. Previous errors have been simply crossed out.

Our great-grandmother was an amazing woman. And here, one hundred years later, we have her diary.
Take a trip to the past through the eyes of a teen-age girl, and marvel at how the world has changed -
and the many ways it has not.

January 31, 1913 - Friday
31 - Did not go to school all day. Went to Mahoney's to-night. Dan was very rough. Dreamed about Don last night. Thought May, Don and I were invited to Mrs. Mahoney's. I wish half my dreams would come true. I'd give a good deal (if I had it) to be on my old terms of friendship with him, but no, Dan or someone, perhaps myself, has queered that forever, and I might as well make up my vacuum of a brain to that. Am writing under difficulties as my bird insists on helping me do it, and , besides that, I am writing in bed.
