not according to plan

Weeks ago my good friend Zelia decides to come up to the Cape with me.

We talk about restaurants. I make reservations at two of my favorites. We discuss transportation. She decides to fly (books a non-refundable ticket) since she has to leave on Friday. We are both looking forward to spending time together as it's been awhile.


The plan was for Zelia to fly up to Hyannis today. 


Around 3 yesterday I get an email:


I might not be able to go: my computer crashed - I was planning to bring it because I have some things that I need to do- and my computer guy is away. I spoke to him and he will try to fix it around 6 pm. If he is able to fix. it; I will go. If he is not I won't. I can't leave with this problem hanging over my head.

We text back and forth and finally, around 9:30, I get this:



We'd been planning this for weeks. 

And I'd wanted her to meet my friend M who's renting a house near my mom's. But M's son had his tonsils out a week ago today, and at 23, the recovery's been painful and complicated. So M's  been home in Weston nursing her son, and hoping to be back sometime this week. 

Then there's the matter of the weather. 

Beautiful vistas, but no sunny skies.








Still, it's only day one.
