The description in the ledger next to the February 12 entry said RC Plat F.D. REPL — $??. I knew I’d seen the same phrase RC Plat F.D. somewhere else, but couldn’t remember where. To make matters worse, it didn’t even look like Annie’s handwriting, which I’d gotten rather good at deciphering. I had no idea what an RC Flat F.D. was, or how much to enter as the sale price for the item, and I was growing frustrated. Normally I would have kept going and moved on to the next item, except that I’d already moved past it twice and was ready to reconcile the month. Annie was out at an auction, and I was irritated that I wouldn’t be able to finish. So far I’d completed every other month through June, and February was the only thing that got in the way of completing the project. I wanted so badly to be able to finish up and begin to show Annie how to keep track of things going forward. “Ah.” I actually said the word aloud as I knelt down and searched the shelves below the counter.
