I skipped writing yesterday, I don't know why. but I will try to remember what happened. We had breakfast, and then we went to the Gentle Yoga class. Sometimes I think it's too gentle, but then I can't really keep up with the Stretch and Flex class. Both classes work with the upper body, but somehow my knees never get the strength to go with the rest. I guess I need more walking. Today Karen came over, and had dinner with us. It was a special dinner, to celebrate the Chinese New Year. The food was good, and the decorations and the music added to the enjoyment of the evening. Karen reported there was some more action on her buying the house in Orroyo Grande, but nothing definite yet. She said she quite sure it would go through, because the agent up there is not showing the house to anyone else now. Even if it does finally go through, She and Terry will rent it out, for at least a year and perhaps more, before they will move up there. So, we don't need to worry about our going up there for a while yet. We have thought about moving back into our house in the meantime, but that seems such an effort. The renters would like to buy it, but they don't have the capital to do it. Maybe they will in a year or two. Now, that it is Friday, I will write what we did today. For some reason I didn't sleep well last night, so I was glad to get up when the radio came on at 7a.m. I had my shower, and we went to breakfast. Afterward we came back to the apartment and read the paper, which one of the workers here brings to us when he is on duty. Then we drove to the Kaiser Pharmacy here in Carlsbad, and we picked up 4 medications for Chris and two for me. I meant to do the driving on the way back, to practice for my driving test I have to take before my birthday. But we both forgot that. Instead Chris drove, and we stopped at Tamarack Beach and went for a walk. We went as far as the next stairway, and turned around and walked back to the car. The sun was out, but there was a stiff breeze all the way. I was glad for my warm coat. When we got back here we had a short rest, and then went to lunch. We sat with friends we have made here, that we often sit with, but that's the sole contact we have with them. They don't go to the exercise classes, and we don't play Bridge or other card games. I guess we should, but somehow we have never got started at it. Our time seems to be involved with keeping up our records, napping sometimes, and doing laundry, etc., and talking to our daughters and grandchildren, and occasionally to Church friends. It is a good relaxed life for us older people.
