My leg started hurting again last night. This phlebitis thing is a problem, I thought it was over with, gone, but here it is again. I guess I'll just have to put up with it. I went to the stress-exercise this morning, hoping to maybe get rid of it. I spent half and hour with the exercises, and it did seem to help. Maybe that's the answer, just more activity. I shall proceed cautiously, though. It turned out to be a clear day, so Karen came over and drove us down to the the ocean to watch the waves while we had our lunch. I brought our sandwiches from the dining room here, and she brought hers. We enjoyed the visit, especially since she had good news about the house she and Terry want to buy in Arroyo Grande. She hasn't actually put money down on it, but a walk-through is scheduled, and the two banks that hold loans on it now are agreeable to the sale. Karen has an agent up there who will go on the walk through, so she won't have to drive up there again now. We came back to the apartment, and my leg has been better, so I guess I just got excited about it when I didn't need to. I did go to get my perm at the beauty shop on the 2nd floor, and while the operator was just starting, a workman came in the shop and said they were going turn off the water for about 20 minutes. So the operator rush around and filled 4 big dishpan-size pans with water, so she could finish with my perm. In fact, it turned out to be a good perm, not painful at all, and she had to use all the water she had so fortunately saved for it. The water came back on, just as I was ready to leave, after having been off for almost 2 hours. It was a successful afternoon after all.
