Aloha friends!
Another week is over and here’s what happened:
+ The Philadelphia Eagles won the Super bowl last Sunday! WOOHOO! So I was very nervous and couldn’t even watch the first of the game LOL. I could watch it after it was 24-0 BUT…knowing Kansas City, I didn’t trust that score until the end of the game. 😅 I love the Eagles but gosh my heart can’t take watching them in a super bowl. SO happy they won though.
+ More national news – but I hate the news right now. And because I hate the news, I watched Eagles highlights ALL WEEK. Just to be nice to my mental health.
+ The vog (volcanic smoke from the eruption on the Big Island) was bad on our island this week – the haze was covering the mountains. So my Monday and Tuesday started off with a headache. It always makes my allergies act up and my sinus fill up – so that wasn’t fun. Tylenol, saline spray, Claritin and a hot towel on my face did help 😅, at least to get my sinuses draining.
+ My daughter had a Honey Bee Valentine’s Day Luncheon (their mascot is the bee) on Thursday, so I went to eat lunch with her. It’s always crazy and chaotic at these luncheon events, and always so quick. I only have 20 minutes with her out of their 30 minute lunch – she wants to play at lunch recess lol. So that was a quick event but glad I could be there with her.
+ Kids have a 4 day weekend, which is nice.
I hope you all have a great week!

How was your week? Did you get a lot done? Watch anything good? Read any amazing books or books you didn’t finish? What are you reading?…Leave me a comment below!






I hope the vog doesn’t stick around too long! That sounds a bit miserable. I’ve been meaning to read Shusterman’s series forever now but still haven’t gotten to it.
Vog is so weird, because some people here are not affected by it and then there is the rest of us who have headaches and sinus issues. I eventually want to fly my kids over to check out Volcano National Park since it’s only like a 30 minute flight. The only one time I went, decades ago, it was not erupting haha, so no vog effects. It would be so cool to see it erupting though, I’ll just have to wear a mask or something.
I’ve given up on the news. I know I need to be informed but I just can’t. I’ll live in my own little bubble for now lol.
Same! I finally got to finish reading some books because I just told myself not to look at the news. lol
