I really need a presentation of ideas to deal with days like today. It started out like a peaceful day like the last 2 days have been. I have been repotting my babies, my desert rose plants. Every spring I repot them, I will take them from their pot, and put new soil in it, I raise the plants higher in the pot than they were, this helps give them a bigger base and exposes the roots to make them have a unique look. I enjoy doing this.

Some of them I put in bonsai pots, I did these last year, but today things started going haywire so I did not get any photos. Right now I am on my way to Miami but I guess I should back up to this morning.

I got a message that someone wanted to come at 11 and pick out 6 areca palms and wanted us to deliver them, that was no problem. Then I got another message and this guy wanted 6 and he could come now, still no problem.

I am sitting by the soil pile repotting the plants and just as the man drives up to get the areca palms, my husband comes out of the house and says the youngest daughter is on the phone, she left Wednesday and said she would be back in a couple of days. I went into the house and my husband took care of getting the palms for the man.

I pick the phone up and she says, Mommy, I am in Marathon, which is the Florida Keys it is 264 miles from where I live. She got into a fight with her boyfriend and he left her there with no money and no phone...... going over the 5 minutes

She was calling from Enterprise car rental, I told her to stay there and call me back in 30 minutes, I went online and bought her a bus ticket. Everything is good. No, it wasn't, I gave her the conformation number for the ticket, she could not get on the bus without the actual ticket, they do not have a bus station there, it is a bus stop and since she did not cancel the ticket in the allotted time, they will not refund the money.

When she called back I told her I bought another ticket and asked if the people at Enterprise would let me e-mail her ticket and have them print it out for her, God Bless the Enterprise workers, they did it. Next, I wired her money by Western Union, and she called and said she got it. That was the last time I spoke to her.

Later I was on the phone with the oldest daughter, telling her about what was going on and she was going over the bus route with me and she said Mom, she is going to have a 6 hour wait in Miami from 11 something to 5:30 in the morning. Miami is not a place for a young women to wait on a bus, this is why I am on my way to Miami.

On our way, the oldest says call Greyhound and make sure she got on the bus, which I did and they tell me she did not get on it. So the oldest called Marathon police to have them do a wellness check. The officer called us back and said he did not find her. We are hoping that Greyhound had not updated their server and she made it on the bus.

We are going on to Miami in hopes that this is true. We will wait in Miami and if she is not on the bus, we will go on to Marathon in hopes of finding her. This is why I asked for a presentation of ideas to know how I can better handle my stress level.
