Aloha friends!
We got through another week, and it was short but my daughter of course caught a cold over the weekend…so I was trying to get her better quick. She managed to go to school all week – and what is with this hot weather? I felt like compared to right now Hawaii’s summer weather has been really mild. But I feel the heat now, in September which means October is going to be hot yuck…I hate sweating during Halloween lol…it’s not ideal.
My kids started Sunday school today so yeah I was so late in writing and posting this but it is what it is. I did get a much needed massage today though! I used the gift card my hubby gave me back in November. He got me a gift card to the spa I used to work at 20 years ago and man…I don’t know if it’s because of the Olivia Rodrigo album, GUTS, I’ve had on repeat and reminding me of my young self…but I had a major bout of nostalgia. Like…when I worked there 20 years ago I was still going out clubbing with my friends, lots of lunches, dinners, hanging out, my 20’s was FUN. And today I went in, gray in my hair, dropped off my kids to Sunday school, the place looks the same, smells the same (they use AVEDA products which I will ALWAYS love), and I was like longing for that easier, funner, less anxious time. It was bittersweet! Might be the stress just hitting me and I felt finally I had some “me” time at the spa. It was just so much needed, August was tough. 15 more months before hubby comes home…🙏🏼
Well, gotta keep going!! I hope all of you had a good week!

Shows/Movies I Watched:
- Love Again (Netflix) – this one was a little boring but I liked the whole grief and moving on theme because I can relate. But I needed more chemistry or something in the movie.
+++++
Music – the Olivia Rodrigo album, GUTS, is on repeat! It speaks to my teenage self, I love all the alt rock sounds in the upbeat songs, it makes my body move and dance! And then man does her ballads cut to my heart. LOVE it!
