The summer heat wears me out. I am achy and I do not sleep well because of the heat--or maybe because of the air conditioning--or sometimes the noisy frogs or the early light. Yesterday, it stayed below 90 all day, blessed relief, but was very humid and overcast. In fact, there was a lot of thunder and lightning and brief storms. We had 1/3 of an inch, here, but I think there was more in town. It's a lot better than nothing and we're grateful, my Dad and I.

I spent a couple hours at the Land Trust, but there wasn't much interesing to do and I already worked more hours than I will get paid for this week. Instead, I headed back to the UUFA to work on the files some more. There are now two small empty file cabinets and a basic structure. I started going through the files and throwing out things more than 7 years old, with a few interesting exceptions. Information about a service we did after  9/11, for instance.

I picked Ray up and we went for a swim. I wasn't sure the weather was nice enough, but it was very pleasant. The pool was a little cooler from the rain and there was no thunder while we were there. I swam pretty steadily for 30 minutes. I read at Spark People that treading water is good exercise, too. Come to think of it, that is probably why my leflt shoulder hurts so much this morning. We headed home and I made the frittata I had planned on. I picked and washed the chard in the morning, so it wasn't a lot of work to make. We were done a little earlier than usual and I went to Sky's to do some bookkeeping for Kenney Ridge. It's a little annoying that I just got the information for the first half of the year, so I have a lot of information to enter at one time, instead of doing just a little every now and then. I stayed over an hour, but I'll have to go back soon to finish up.

Then a couple TV shows and bed about 10. When I wake up too early, like I did this morning, sometimes I get up and read in Molli's room, so I don't disturb Ray. Then he comes looking for me, to make sure I'm okay, when he realizes I am gone. It's reassuring.
