Friday the 13th For Sure

Dick came home from the Agency reporting that Coord 2 has been diagnosed with breast cancer. She will not be able to do office work for some time. She's expecting a regimen of chemo followed by surgery. We are wishing her the best as her treatment goes forward. Dick told her not to give it a second thought - her health has to come first. She's very dedicated, and I know she feels horrid about walking out at this point, but she has no choice.

Coord 1 is in Florida, so the MMAP office is woefully understaffed.

Dick thinks he may be coming down with whatever bug I have which is still making me feel ill. I hope not!

See the above link for interesting information about Friday the 13th.

Better Things Ahead

Here is the letter we got from Tom about our trip to San Diego next week. Now that's something to look forward to!!

TOM'S LETTER

My plan is to go in early on the 18th and work til about 1:00 then
come and get you and take the rest of the day off. That way I won't
get charged a vacation day. I'll take Thurs, Fri, and Monday as
vacation and leave you to your own devices on Tues. The Wednesday
you leave I'll just be a little late to work ... no big deal.

So the plan is shaping up like this: the Wednesday you arrive we'll
play by ear, although I'll be hungry so maybe we'll grab some lunch
downtown before heading up to my place.

Thursday and Friday we'll cover Balboa Park, Coronado, and Old Town
in whatever order our mood and/or the weather suggests.

Saturday morning I'll send you off on your Porsche tour and Conni
will join us by about lunch time. Then we'll do the Wild Animal Park
in the afternoon. Saturday night we have reservations at my favorite
restaurant (http://www.roppongiusa.com/).

Sunday mornings Conni usually goes to church and I usually go
mountain biking, so I don't really know what to do with you. Sunday
afternoon I thought we could do a little geocaching to show Conni
what that's all about.

I thought we'd do the whale watching on Monday since Conni will be
able to go and it's liable to be less crowded than on the weekend.

Tuesday I'm going back to work so you're on your own. Maybe more
geocaching. Or there's always Legoland :-)


Still feeling quite sick with no appetite. Dick has gone into the Agency for more overtime with Part D.
