This is why one should never promise. I have a good excuse why this is one day late, but it's a lie, so let us just get to the diary, no?
All is written now the way I wrote it then in fourth grade, including misspellings and, um, things I don't quite understand. Please query regarding any confusion.

A few things:
1) No, I did not spell "recess" or "diary" consistently right or wrong.
2) I do not know what the number of the day is.
3) Boyt's was a luggage manufacturing business in Iowa Falls.
4) Mathman was a character in PBS' "Square One."

i sincerely do not know what you are doing here. are you lost? were you
looking for your delicate calico cat, and did you follow her up two flights of stairs
to this room? she is not here. she was here, yes. we gave her a warm bowl of milk, we talked with her about campaign finance reform for a time, and then she bid us good day. i believe she was
going to the post office two blocks down, but i don't quite recall.
for surely you did
not find your way from prinsiana, the least traveled site on
the internet. if you did, though, perhaps you are looking for humor. perhaps you are looking for profundity. perhaps you are looking for answers.
i'm sorry, but you shall go naught-for-three.
