Rocking and Rolling

Last night one of the strongest monsoons in a decade hit town. In my area we had winds at over 40 miles per hour, gusting to 60 mph and two inches of rain in one hour. Lots of sideways wind, lots of toppled trees, lightening and thunder.

We don't really have seasons but monsoons do make up for drizzly months of spring. It was really nice to walk out this morning to temperatures 20 degrees lower than normal.

I am not sure I fleshed this out and will do so before I leave, but I am flying out next week for three days of testing. When I this started this process of getting treatment, I told my contacts that I will go anywhere in the world, South Africa, Sweden it didn't matter just get me the best. Who knew the best would be in Seattle?

Mistress and I grew up there, married there, still have lots of friends there. This is not a trip I wished I had to take and am very serious about what I will be doing there with testing and consulting that may affect the rest of my life. I got a room about a mile from the clinic and plan to walk there and take taxi's from and to the airport. While Mistress is fully supportive of the trip, she wishes I would stay or see some of our friends.

I see her point but honestly I just want to focus on me and not think about link ups or dinners or socializing. I have no idea what to expect, only that I want to focus on me and getting better. My only outside desire is to spend a few hours at REI's flagship store. A home away from home.

More on the trip next week.
