I quit smoking Oct. 12 and.....

On the way to my Dr.s appointment this morning I pulled into the parking garage. The person in the car infront of me was going suuuuuuper slooooow. I got super pissed. I had a thought pass through my mind that I should invest in a handgun. Then I was like, well...no....people in Hawaii...aren't really down with the whole hand gun scene...besides...I already have a taser.....yeah...I guess I already have a taser.

Anyway, I've been experiencing these little mini explosions of temper in my head for a couple days now. Its really weird, because, normally I am pretty chill, not in a hurry, no reason to stress. Just lately though, I've been completly keeee-raaaaa-zeeeeee!

I yelled at Tim to put his d@#%$ vitamens in the cupboard. They are an eyesore on my kitchen counter.....I freak at drivers...ect...ect.

My Doctor says, however, its all OKAY. It will be OKAY. I just gotta wait and not abuse caffine or small animals.

Soon I will be normal. I'll let you all know when.

Its paradise as usual

Earl and I are trying to plan a trip here for Kianna to visit Luke. Those two really are two peas-in-a-pod. Hopefully, we will get it all organized.

Nothing too exciting going on over here, except I am now recieving nasty text messages from some weirdo, who I believe it is a guy from the gym who asked me to join a squash team, after which I found there was no squash team, so I had signed up on this completely bogus form my phone number. Anyway, I don't know how to text so, I am leaving it to Tim to reply to his disgustingly rude text message tonight......there are more freaks in this world than I care to know. I think we have more than our share here in Hawaii. hmmmm.

Other than some nasty text messages, and that I've been grouchy for a few days and no fun to be around, because I got the riot act for not going to the Blue Angel thing, everything seems as usual in paradise.

Tomorrow I see my pyschiatrist.......Ha ha.

sorry. still can't figure how to upload photos. I'll be getting to that soon.

Lion King

The Broadway production for Lion King is here in Hawaii. We got tickets awhile back and went to see it Saturday afternoon with my in-laws, Luke, Tim and my niece Natalie. It was a fantasic show. The kids seemed mesmerized by all the fabulous costumes.
The singing was incredible. The only downside was that it was really loud and super crowded.

After the show, I was completely exhausted. Sometimes if I go too long racing around from thing to thing and event to event and don't get any privacy I experience a mini melt down.

Finally after all these years I can now recognize the pattern.

Anyway, Tim has a hard time understanding my need for complete alone time. He is such a social person by nature, I am too, I just have this little glitch in my system though. Gotta recharge regularly through solitary pursuits. If I don't, It seems like life begins to rush at me from all angles. I get sensory overload, a headache comes on, a slight anxiety feeling like clausterphobia...ect ect. Then I have to go to my room and sleep.

Well, Lion King was only the begining of the weekend. We were still supposed to go to dinner that night with everyone, then early next morning go to my in-laws, where an out-of-town guest was staying as well, and go to see the Blue Angels at the military base. Oh yeah, Luke was out of school for Thursday and Friday, so he and I were together for those 2 days 24-7. So yeah, after Lion King I was so tired. I had to bow out of the rest of the weekend.

I am feeling better after resting Saturday night and Sunday day. So by this morning I am completely recharged and ready to rock.

I wish the world would just understand though and slow down a bit.
