Aloha friends!
+ Hi everyone, it was an interesting week – we were under a Hurricane Watch for the islands next to us. A tropical storm watch for our island and we had some damages on our coasts but wow, Kaua’i took the brunt of it all. Ni’ihau too but they are a private island and we hardly know what’s happening there. But yeah Kaua’i wasn’t a direct hit but the damage was extensive. This hurricane season has been never ending for us and it’s still not over!
+ My hubby had to fly out the day after the storm, he’s on a work trip to Japan and the kids got a “storm day” off from school – the mainland has snow days, us islanders get storm days haha…so my kids had a short week. They also had their annual appointments and flu shots. I also had to take my car in for maintenance and had to get the battery changed.
+ Then it was a tough weekend for me because now that I’m in perimenopause, my periods are not only unpredictable but after I skip a month, my flow is the heaviest I’ve ever experienced. To the point I have cold chills and get fatigue. It’s not fun at all. So I’ve been dealing with that this weekend – I just want to sleep.😴
