Another day of work at which I stayed too long without a break, in order to leave at 2 and go to the pool. Lately, working 6 hours just seems too much. I had expected thunderstorms to keep us from swimming, but we were lucky, although I hope for some rain for the gardens today. We hurried home; the cleaning lady was due, but she did not show up. I am sorry to think that it will not work out with her; I like her and she is the most reasonable we have found, but she seems to be unable to keep to a predictable schedule and we do not do well with change here. We had prepared for her visit by tidying up a bit and anticipated in with pleasure. She communicated with me by text, though I called her twice and left messages.

We went off to potluck and choir, a smaller group as summer is beginning. We worked on two somewhat challenging songs, which was a pleasure for me.

Although it was cool last night with the windows open, I barely slept a wink.
