Sunday Spent the day cutting the grass along Holowai Road. I cleaned up the frontage of both lots. There’s gotta be a better way of doing this than using my hand clippers!

Monday For the past week, I have been sorting through everything and separating what I want to take back with me to Arizona on the 17th – if not physically, at least mentally. The main things will be my journal, and the dirty sheets and pillowcases from the bed. Today, I poured the 5th section ofContinue reading “May 15, 2023”
