Really hot--100 degrees. Thunder and lightning for hours, but I don't think there was enough rain to measure. The dogs were nervous.

At work, I attended a training about financial management. The trainer was good and knowledgeable, although most of the information was review for me. Reassuring, but not very helpful. It kind of made me want to be a professor...Mailed off applications for dental insurance for three employees including me. Went to the Food Bank with Clay, who carried a heavy box for me. They had some good stuff, but were clearing the floor to take inventory, so did not have everything we needed. It was 2:30 when I got back, though, and so hot, I really didn't want to go to the grocery store to buy more stuff. They have milk and bread, so they won't starve.

When I left, it seemed too hot and I was too tired to even go to the pool. Ray and I stopped at the library and he picked out some good-looking mindless things for me to read. I think that is the correct response to the weather--hole up in the air conditioning and read until it gets cooler.

Managed to pull myself together after an hour in the cool and make some supper, which I thought was good but Ray didn't like, although he managed to choke it down. There was a sauce with orange juice and he said you know I don't like citrus sauces...I said no I don't. Maybe I'll remember next time. Watched some TV, but my back started threatening to do its thing--maybe I should have gone to the pool after all. I lay down and went to sleep and it is somewhat better this morning, but makes me a little nervous. I hope pilates will help.
