We were a little late getting to breakfast this morning. Afterward I intended to go to the more advanced exercise class, and leave after 30 minutes. But I spent too much time reading the paper, and I didn't get there for the milder part of it. So, I skipped it. Instead I went back to the dining room and ordered two sandwiches and two drinks to go. Karen came to pick us up to go to the beach, where we parked at Tamarack Beach and watched the surfers while we had our lunch. Afterward we were going for a short walk, but we saw a new installation, a pay machine that said that parking would now cost $2 an hour, or $10 for all day parking there. We just looked at it, and then we went back to the car, and drove back to the apartment. I think that is a horrendous price to pay for parking there. Last year we only paid 25cents an hour to park at Oceanside Beach. Karen went home, and then I discovered I had medication that was almost out, that I forgot about renewing the other day. So, we drove down to the Carlsbad Kaiser Pharmacy, and I got a refill. From there we went to Plaza Drive in Oceanside and picked up our new glasses, three pair for each of us - one regular vision, one dark glasses, and one for computer use. They seem to fit quite well, but Chris is going to have to get used to his new regular ones. For some reason, the two eyes don't quite focus the same. I hope he gets used to them, or perhaps he'll have to take them back to be replaced. It was almost time for dinner when we got back here, so we didn't do much, just rested a while, and then went to dinner. We sat with a new couple that have just moved in, and they are still getting used to the place. He is in a wheel chair, and she uses a cane to walk. So I guess we are better off than most of the people here. Back at the apartment we watched the Olympics on TV. Now to bed.
