My toes are cold again this morning, yay! and it seems a little less humid. It was pretty hot during the day, but maybe not over 90.

I took Vanessa to yoga and Ray to work (see how we save gas?), then went to Kroger to get groceries for the Shelter. When I got there, the pest control man was working--not a good combination, pest control and groceries. He said he did not treat in the living area because there was a small child. Lavender Pest Control donates their services every month, so that is very generous.

We had a staff meeting at 9 and it seemed to go pretty well. The treasurer was to come by at 11 and sign checks for me, but it was after 12 when she got there. She was very nice and apologized and we talked about when she would come back. I met Lisa L. for lunch and we talked about her house plans. The hour sped by. When I got back, I had an email from Beth that the Treasurer had resigned! They're dropping like flies...

At 4:30, I left and went to pick up Ray. His meeting ran almost an hour longer than expected. They were talking about furloughs. Everyone at UGA is being forced to take six unpaid days off. They are scheduled for days when there are no classes. You can imagine the discussion. In particular, people who are running labs and getting funding from grants are pretty upset.

The Captain and Vanessa had roasted one of our Nature's Harmony chickens--in the gas grill. Plus we had mashed potatoes, green beans and beets from the garden. It was very good.
