Weekly Wrap Up | 1/3/22

Aloha friends!

Another week where I forgot to post a weekly update because who am I kidding it was a busy week! It was raining all week (yay for my grass and plants since our sprinkler system is broken for now) and it did not stop raining on New Year’s Eve either. It stormed – but that didn’t stop the fireworks. No it did not lol. It was so funny I was on instagram dm chatting with an old college friend (she’s in Los Angeles) who I had lost touch with for a bit (life got too busy)…but she was watching the New York Times Square Ball countdown on CNN so we were watching together and I stayed up with her until California hit midnight. So that was nice! My daughter loves the illegal aerial fireworks because they are so pretty, my son does too but the other fireworks where it’s just a bomb sound and nothing else? Is SO annoying. It sets off car alarms and just scares my son. My daughter and the dog surprisingly slept right through it! 😆 At midnight Oahu does what it always does and how weird that the sky stopped raining from 11:45pm – 12:15am…for everyone to light their fireworks. We don’t light fireworks, because I just enjoy everyone else lighting it up lol…I don’t need to spend money that way! HAHA.

Then it stormed again on New Year’s Day and then on Sunday was the combined birthday lunch for my nephew who turned 14 and my daughter who turns 5 today! It rained some more with thunder and lightning but we got through it and she got so many balloons! My sister (her aunt) goes crazy with balloons and confetti lol…since it’s my house and I’ll do the cleaning 😂. Nah, she has two boys so my daughter is like the daughter she always wanted, so little miss is spoiled.

My daughter wanted a Pikmin cake but I wanted a cake that was delicious so I bought my favorite cream cake from a vendor and then printed some Pikmin and laminated them, added toothpicks to them and that was her Pikmin cake. LOL

So that was my week, it was just busy cleaning after Christmas, and now I have to put away our tree and Christmas decorations away this week. Oh also my son’s school has a surge of covid cases (his principal kept keeping us informed all winter break), but today I got a bunch of emails from him saying more people were positive so his school has partnered up with CVS for free voluntary weekly testing for employees/students (and family members!). I got excited about that because those home tests can add up so I signed him up for weekly testing and will sign me and the rest of the family up to so we can take advantage of this free testing. It’s free for us until June. Only a few schools are partnered up with CVS here in Hawaii, and I think his is because there are so many covid cases in our neighborhood. 😣 We are all vaxxed except for my daughter who just turned 5 and will finally be eligible.

So yeah…not exactly how I want to start 2022 but, it is what it is. Stay safe out there!

Anyway that was my week – how was yours?
