What a night! The winds kicked up around 2AM, the power went off around 4AM then came on at 6AM. It is a warm wind, which in California means earthquake weather! Oh no! Let's hope not!
The problem is the stop light at the end of the pass will probably be out again so going to mom's this morning is going to be a challenge. She has an early appointment so I will have to build in enough extra time due to the traffic mess.
Due to the winds, the front yard is covered with my white Camellia blossoms and some garbage! Everyone sets their cans out on Sunday night for early Monday morning pickup but, the garbage cans are all toppled and some popped open. Lovely.
Watching the news this morning, there are a lot of wires down, trees fallen and heavy winds throughout the entire area. So, back into Monday we go. A rather quiet week ahead so I plan to do massive yard work and plant my summer annuals. That alone with take a few days!
The ILD Support Group is meeting this week but it is just discussion so I am going to my pulmonary rehab class instead. But, I just learned that we are going to have a speaker in May to discuss telomeres, familial PF and stem cells. In June, the speaker will discuss how to protect our lungs against environmental exposures. Also, a lovely woman from a local hospice has offered to teach us all about filling out the bright pink POLST forms (Physicians Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment). That should be interesting. I will report back after these meetings.
Also, there a Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation Summit in La Jolla, CA next December. These conferences usually sell out so if you are interested in attending, register at http://www.pffsummit.org/
