Yesterday was service day at Athens Academy. Eight students and a teacher spent four hours cleaning windows, organizing closets and doing a lot of good work. I did ask them to turn off the music, since Amanda was on the phone, and the alarm went off from cleaning the windows of course. Then I went to lunch at the country club where the Academy had a fashion show, raising $7000 and having a lot of fun. There was not a soul I knew there, but I enjoyed watching the kids. The food was good, but typical ladies' lunch: scoop of salad and a croissant. Chocolate covered strawberry and a cookie for dessert. Glad I didn't have to pay $25 for it. I wore my black suit and spoke briefly.

Then I came home, sat in the sun, read and nursed my cold. Woke up before 4 this morning with dry cough. I usually only take one cold pill unless things are really bad, so I took another one then, after one when I went to bed.
