The first heat wave has arrived. It was 86 F here today, and it's predicted to stay like this until next Monday. Any temperature above 80°F is not to our liking.
Page was here today and has been continuing the exercises with Joan that I started about a month ago. I can see that she is making progress, slow, but nevertheless progress forward. She's doing five different exercises at a time, mainly to strengthen her legs and improve her balance as much as possible. I'm not hoping for a miracle; I would just like to be able to lift your feet in order to walk. Right now, and for quite some time, her toes are always glued to the floor when she walks. It's much more dangerous for her.
She really enjoys doing the exercises with Paige, not so much with me. I guess it's my overbearing personality wanting her to make progress. I have to work on that a lot.
We had an appointment this morning at the American Consulate, which is now temporarily inside a military base. It has been one year since a new woman became the Consul, and still, they do not have a permanent location for the consulate. It will probably take another year before they do. Our papers and documents were accepted, and then I had to mail them to Warsaw.
At the post office, they have a new Clerk who speaks some English, and she was able to help me fill out the necessary document to send a registered letter. While it really wasn't the letter, it was an envelope with the documents in it, and a letter explaining what and who they were for. I sent it Priority Mail, and she said they would have it in two business days, which means hopefully by Monday. Of course, I don't know if they can transfer them online or not. We really don't know if we will be receiving our Social Security checks next month.
