It’s been a couple months since you wrote this but I JUST got to check out the Bigelows and they were spectacular. Thank you for the recommendation!

Absolutely! We’ve been caught up in the chaos of packing and I haven’t been on here much but I’m certain I’ll post plenty when things quiet down

Hey Michael! We leave next Tuesday for Maine and have been keeping an eye on the weather. So far it seems like the air quality has been good and should be through tomorrow, though it could change at any point.

Oooh, so pretty and look at your lovely tattoos!

Thank you so much. I’m very sleepy, but I think I am definitely on the mend

friend: what's it like on bluesky?

me:

Puakenikeni. They make my favorite lei.

So good!!!

This is very cool! It recommended a couple of books I love and several I hadn’t considered reading before. Thanks!

I am still feeling drained but on the whole I’m feeling much better than I did over the weekend. Lots of naps for Wonky and I today.

We have the sweetest little chicken. She comes inside just so she can lay down and nap beside me. 🥹

Avocado for sure

Ahh looks so good! It’s the best shirt! Everyone in my family is itching to borrow it

Happy birthday! This is Tim. He’ll be 16 in August so this is pretty much all he does now. He’s learned that when he makes a horrible hacking noise we will rush to feed him, so this is how he wakes us now. It’s the worst alarm imaginable.

Brutal

So beautiful!

Hahaha thank you so much! I can’t stop looking at it.

There are several solid options not far from Waikiki: I love both Haili’s and Da Ono Hawaiian food. And Guava Smoked is another good spot. All 3 restaurants are on Kapahulu, so you could try all 3 and compare. A Kalua pork flight!

Thank you! Hoping this time is much easier than my first bout last year. That was brutal.

Thanks so much. I hate this.

I’m definitely going to curl into a ball and crash for a bit.

The tattoo was not the only souvenir I brought home from Austin. I feel absolutely awful.

Aw thanks so much! I’m in love with it. This was a great trip and I ate all the bbq I could.
How are you doing? Have things quieted down a bit?

Look at your lil bowl cut! 🥹

So sweet and wholesome. 🥹

The blue looks so good!!

So clean! I’d been eyeing their designs for awhile and can’t believe I get to bring one home with me.

Heading home with a souvenir from Mainstay Tattoo in Austin. 😍

Big fan of Wellbutrin as well!

Sending hugs to you and hoping this phase of intense work is over before long. You will deserve the deepest rest, the most relaxing and replenishing break.
