☕ Trying a third cup of coffee this morning as a remedy against this migraine that I have been nurturing since yesterday.
Now
😔 I didn’t want to get out of bed this morning. It was warm and comfortable. That was as unusual for me, as I am not normally one to lie around in bed. I am feeling a little bleh as well, which surely contributed towards me not wanting to move.
📅 This has been a strange weekend for me. The grandkids were off school on Friday and I kept thinking that it was Saturday.
On Saturday I couldn’t get it out of my head that it was Sunday, and then today I wanted it to be Monday.
With tomorrow being a public holiday here in the US, Presidents Day, I’m wondering what day I will wake up to?!
☀️ It feels good to see the sun this evening after a couple of days of cloud and rain. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy moody weather, but on this still evening the heat of the sun brings some warmth and rest.
🚽 If someone redesigned the humble toilet brush, making it more hygienic, I believe that they would be onto something.
🌊 Before going to bed last night the sounds of waves crashing against the distant cliffs, a mile away, was loud. In the middle of the night it was so loud that we could hear the roar inside the house with windows and doors closed!
I have since read that a 30-50ft swell is hitting the north shore until this evening.
🌴 After a week living in a wind tunnel, last night the winds finally appeared to have blown themselves out. It was still when I returned home yesterday evening, and we are waking up to the same this morning.
🌬️ I’m not happy with this strong wind. It has been here for a few days now, and it looks like at least another two more days. I’d really appreciate it stopping.
📱Well I finally decided to reinstall a cover on my phone. I'd like it to last another year or so, at least, and don't know if I can trust myself not to drop it.
🍃 I feel as though we have been in a wind tunnel all day, maybe the last two days?! I hope that we wake up to a calmer day tomorrow.
🏃♀️ I don’t think that my run today will be much fun, though it will be a challenge. Winds are currently gusting 20/25mph, with a forecast for stronger winds.
🤫 All is quiet right now, and I’m loving it. It won’t stay this way, but for now I am making the most of it. The quiet rests my body and mind.
🏃♂️ Heading out for the second run of my personal Watch to 5K challenge.
🐳 I saw my first whale of the season this evening. Way out to sea, a few water spouts and the cresting back of the whale.
😩 A frustrating day. I fix one thing (or update it), and something else breaks. I’m calling tech support tomorrow morning.
Despite the sound of it, this was not computer related, rather the front gate.
🤦 How to not make a cup of coffee…omit the ground coffee. Happy New Year!
💡 Well no sooner do I write, than the power comes back on. And the rain continues to fall. It is wet out there.
🔌 Power outage. We haven’t had one for a while. The lights flickered while I was cooking dinner, but hung in there. Later we were watching one of the streaming services and all suddenly goes dark. Inclement weather can bring on a power outage and it has been wet since mid-afternoon.

🌧️ Well it is wet out there.
🤦🏼♂️ Waiting for some toast to pop up, and then realized that I had not put it in the toaster!
😶🌫️ A misty, rainy Sunday morning. Those are the best..at least it feels like that this morning.
🤒 I have been unwell the last couple of days, though I really don't know what I have had? The main symptoms? Tired and achy, a slight and brief fever. I think that I am on the mend now. If you are waiting on reply from me, I hope to be back in touch tomorrow.
👋 …and suddenly it is all over. The build up, the preparation, the day, the eating, the cleanup, and all that is left are memories and feeling of a meal well eaten.
Of course there is time spent with family and friends - appreciated and not taken for granted. For now though, Thanksgiving is wrapped up until next year.
🍂 The house has been vacuumed, the table laid, food prep is under way, family strife laid to rest - Happy Thanksgiving.
☔️ I'm grateful for the rain falling this morning, and wish that it would bless the rest of this island with its presence.
🌧️ We are waking up to rain this morning, a lot of it. I hope that the rest of the island is getting this as it needs it. We live in the wetter part of Maui, and sometimes I can drive fifteen, twenty minutes from here and I go from rain to sun and blue skies.
😩 Jet lag sucks. Needing to sleep. Trying to stay up so that I don't wake up in the middle of the night...which I inevitably do anyway. Trying to function, get things done, but not really. Finally surrendering and just going to sleep, to wake up whenever the body feels it's ready to....only to feel wiped out again in the middle of the day!
💦 I'd forgotten how humid Maui can be.
🌧️ Today has been off and on wet, but it is really coming down now. I hope that we don't sail away.
🚘 Heading to Lisbon today.
