Blessed.: December 2013

..waiting for the phone to ring. Yup, put on call tonight. And I was actually ready to come to work after calling out for two shifts. The flu was killer--don't think I've had that for about three years. I was miserable..had a temp of up to 103.4! I remember shaking profusely with chills, then breaking my fever and having my body literally covered with beads of sweat! I was so lifeless, but now am feeling great! Well rested, appetites back, & ready to go home! Yay!!!

In a few hours, I'll be home! In a few days, I will see my grandma! & in a few more days, I'll be back here! Lol. It's going to go by so quickly, I know it. But, I want time to go as slowly as possible. Time seems to just slip away too quickly nowadays. So I tried not to have too busy of an agenda, just want to enjoy the holidays with family and close friends..& even if I will really miss Mike&Koko... my heart will still be so very full!

See ya soon San Diego.

I was placed on call at work..AGAIN..due to low census. So I'm laying in bed paranoid because last time I was on call, I totally knocked out and they couldn't get a hold of me! Oops, my bad! So I figured I would blog since I saw Jamie's email..but mostly because I wanted to tell you guys my new address before everyone sends out Christmas cards:

1020 Mamalu Place

honolulu HI 96817

So I didn't tell a lot of people mostly cuz it's kind of embarrassing (haha!)..but I moved again. That would be a total of THREE moves in one year, & I'm hoping this place is going to be IT for a while. We broke our lease early because Mike just really couldn't stand the other place--it wasn't well ventilated, very small, & no outdoor space at all. Fortunately, the landlords were cool with it as long as we found them replacement tenants. It was a difficult difficult place to rent out because they were charging such high rent for a tiny place, but we found someone!! & I'm so happy to just move forward!

I'm dead serious that I'm not moving again! Haha. I can tell Mike is so totally stoked on our new living situation. It's an older house, but I think it has a lot of charm (which I guess I've grown to love in hawaii since we don't have nice huge eastlake homes). We also have a guest bedroom, unless Philbert moves in (haha we were trying to convince him!) Had Mike's friends help us move in a day..so it really wasn't bad at all. I think I consider us PROs already, lol. Some of my favorite things about the house would be: bananas, papayas, and puakenikeni (a wonderful smelling, pretty flower!) growing in our backyard!

We had seriously soo much bananas that we went to all our new neighbors on thanksgiving and gave everybody a big bunch!

And somehow between all the moving, I managed to trade my car in. I don't know how that happened, lol! A few years ago, Daisy and I test drove the lexus RX with my parents while they were in town. I was almost going to trade it then, but had emotional attachments to my car. Decided finally that one day my car was eventually going to be too small for me (the rear seats did not push down), so I decided to trade it in while it had good resell value. So, I'm a pretty happy camper..I feel like I can have kids now! Lmao..JK!!

1) in front of my new place

2) first beach day hahha!

Anyways, I'll be home for Christmas dec 18-26 =) Excited for:

1) spending time with family! We flew Inang in for Christmas..so soo soo happy to see her. Also get to see everyone's new places since they all live separately now. Oh! & my sister&AJ got engaged too!! So a lot to celebrate this Christmas!

2) catching up with friends..& taking sewing classes..yes!!! hahah!

3) cold weather, good food, hot coffees, good shopping, and holiday spirit!

All that's missing is Mike!! We never spend Christmas together though, hahah!! We were thinking maybe next year we should work sooomething out?

It's 2:41am. I'm thinking they shouldn't call me in anymore..& I think I've blabbered enough. Here are a few more pics of whatevers...
