Unexpected Adventure

We are having an adventure today! William is on tour but has the day off today in Monterey, which is just 90 minutes south of us. We are meeting him around noon and will spend the day with him. I am so excited!

After the housekeepers arrive early this morning, I am heading to the nursery to buy the annuals and Safeway for some food then meeting Michael at the house around 11:00 to head south. A busy morning. Mom has two doctor appointments tomorrow then Michael and I are having dinner in the city so it is going to another busy day as well.

It took just over 7 hours to get the gardens back in shape after the winds and I even did some major trimming. My arms are so sore this morning! Saturday morning, I am going to plant the annuals, bake Rick's birthday cake and try to take it easy until they arrive for appetizers and cocktails.

Michael was approached by a company he used to work for years ago and they have been talking. Yesterday, they came to an agreement. He will begin working for them on Tuesday as a quality control manager of one of their shops but they want to groom him to manage one of their two other shops. No more physical work! We have to buy some new jeans and polo shirts for his new work attire.

The beautiful Susan from the ILD Support Group went to the meeting where the leader saw her O2 drop first hand, contacted Susan's doctor and he phoned her last night. He ordered a HRCT Scan for today. He thinks her sudden downturn may be the disease progression, something going on with her heart or bronchitis. She says she doesn't have symptoms of bronchitis but neither did I. That is the best of the three choices so I hope that is what they find today. What is rather scary is that she has been feeling tightness in her chest and her lungs hurt.

One of our members had one lung transplanted and Susan was able to visit him just a day after they were getting him out of bed. He looked fantastic but he and his wife are feeling a bit overwhelmed.

We just decided to drive the 1966 Mustang convertible down to Monterey to surprise William. It will be the furthest we have driven it. I am a bit nervous that it will break down but Michael has full confidence that it will be no problem. Here we go!
