More More steroids, please!
Ahh. So the doctor's office pulled through and got me some good strong meds. I have what they call high potency steroids now, and I'm feeling much much better, thanks. I am here at the house with one of the other folks I came out here with. A couple went home today, so there are six of us in the house. We are just hanging out. I'm honestly tired of running around, and it's exactly part of the trip I didn't want to deal with. But that's life, and might as well get out and about, right? At any rate, I'm glad to be here at the house with only one other person, blogging for you!
Yesterday, we went to Waikiki and attended a graduation party for Hawaii native Mowatch who is the girlfriend of the Baby Bear (brother of Husbandido). It was nice, but the day before we went to Hanauma Bay but had to hike up the hill in the WIND and the RAIN to get to the entrance. In SLIPPERS! You know, I wasn't trying to be cute or anything, but I brought a pair of slippers I don't normally trek in (I left my reefs at home, and I'm kicking myself) because I thought I was going to be reclining more than hiking up a big ass hill in the wind and rain.
Anyways, most days here have been really rainy, and if not rainy, overcast. It is what it is. We go to the beach, strip down and then sprinkles. Then heat. Then sprinkles. Annoying yes, but hell, you look at the water and you don't feel half bad.
I don't have a tan to boast of, but I do have good memories. I've cooked breakfast every single day that I've been here, which is about 10 days. I guess I took that on as part of the house duties, just as long as I don't have to wash the dishes. I am going to have to up my game for the next trip and make a menu for the trip. We didn't really have one on the trip, and that kind of throws off everything for me. I'm used to knowing what, where, and when. I'd also like to have other people help out. Maybe I'll do it like a retreat and assign meals and couples so that it's easier to do. Anyways, for the first few days we were eating out for lunch and dinner (after I made breakfast), and that's a lot of money, so we've been able to cut down the amount of meals out of the house and limit it to a snack here and there.
New Sportsac bag too. Yummy.
With less than 48 hours to go, I'm glad to be going back. I need to get to my doctor's office right away, but I also want to be back at home and play with the Green Rock. I like being in Hawaii, it's a beautiful place, the people are wonderful, the food is good (esp when I cook it), and the sun is good (when it comes out to play). But at the end of the day, I'm a City girl, and I miss that randomness of the City.
Tonight we're supposed to go to a family party, but I'm thinking I might want to stay back at the house again. This was a good time to relax. Oh! Before I forget, I finished Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. I enjoyed it a whole lot. Funny how there were paralells in my life. I'll save it for the book club meeting, but hey, it's all good. :-)
Okay so off to do nothing. Oh the pleasure of it all.

PS: had pineapples. so much better.

Oh man that bag is LOVE!!! I'll have to send mama out to get me one ;D. Did you spy anything over at the outlets? Did you get in the water with the rains and all? Surprisingly the water is still lovely as ever!

The LeSportsac outlet had a really cute pink and white panda bag and other ones I have never seen before. The one I bought was at Ala Moana (nice mall, btw). At the outlets? Nothing else, but the Banana Republic store has tons of goodies to GO!
