We enter our third weekend in Hawaii and our last weekend of giddy freedom, as we begin work on Monday the 28th. We think we've found a permanent home - more on that in a few days. It won't be here in Ko Olina, though, and I've been trying to tell myself all the downside of living here.
That dang gate we have to drive through each time we come home. The silly little touristy train that runs on Sundays. The tourists in my way when I'm trying to enjoy a nice walk along the beach. The golfers in their little carts. The noise as they maintain the place constantly, with blowing leaves and mowing and trimming palm trees. The noise of the sprinklers every night as they go off around 7pm. The construction noise from the little shopping area they're building.
Yep, it sucks to live here. How can I put up with it for another day?? Never mind that I sat down and cried when our second offer on a property here was rejected. Must have been some salt water in my eye....
I also signed up to audition for the Honolulu Symphony Chorus in August. Of course, all my sheet music will still be packed so I'll have to hunt down something to bring with me, a hymn, art song or aria, said the website. A nice version of "Be Thou My Vision"? "Panis Angelicus", my Eisteddfod winning song?
But even more important, what do I wear my first day of work? A shopping trip this weekend just might be in order...
