The house is clean, the laundry done, Michael's work/dress shirts irons, the garden is perfect, there are groceries for the week in the house so I am ready. Okay. Here we go. Back in the saddle again! This week, the focus is to get back to my routines. Back to pulmonary rehab, my "power yoga" class, orchestra rehearsal and mom's doctor's appointment today. Also, throw in a major set of pulmonary function tests on Friday. We'll see if I am still standing next weekend!
We also made a decision where to go for my big birthday dinner next month. Michael is trying to pull some major strings to get a reservation to the #1 restaurant in SF. It usually takes two months, in fact, exactly two months. One must phone, two months to the day to make the reservation. The line is always busy. After repeatingly hitting redial, a human finally answers who confirms the time and date and assigns a confirmation number. No names. Apparently, people were able to go into the restaurant, peek at the reservation book and steal reservations. No longer. Don't have the number, don't get the table. Michael has been there several times, I have been there just once. It was magnificent. Elegant yet relaxed. Michael is going to contact William today - who is currently on tour in Pittsburgh - to see if he wants to join us. As a major foodie, I have a feeling he will fly in for the event.
We finally spent some time with the neighbors in the other corner of the cul de sac yesterday. After a couple of years waving to each other, we went by while he was painting the front of the house. After a nice chat, he gathered up his wife, who was working in back, and we took them on a tour of our garden and house. They also told us that they are expecting a little girl in March. Their first. What nice people. We made plans to talk about their garden. Their yard is odd-shaped and has lots of privacy issues. It could be magnificent.
Yesterday, I wore jeans and a collared shirt under a nice sweater. A fall sweater. The weather was sunny but cool enough. It felt fantastic go deep into the closet to move all of the sweater forward. Michael dug out a rosemary bush that was getting too big for the space in the front garden and drilled holes into the stump that is driving me crazy until it burned out the drill. He also broke the shovel getting the rosemary out so I need to buy another one today! I told him not to disappear as there will be a photo of me buying a new shovel at Home Depot! I watch too many of the shows on ID Discovery!
Monday. A new beginning. Time to work on more muscles and strength and stamina. The focus of the week.
