HawaiiBlog, Part 2

Which, of course, I am not writing from Hawaii after all. Because I did get sunburned, and thus ended long mornings by the pool.

I'm not writing from my phone, either, although I was pleasantly surprised to see that my phoned-in post looks normal on my computer. I suppose I could have blogged via phone from the Phoenix airport where I got stuck waiting for my flight, and the Memphis airport, where I got stuck waiting for my ride home, but I was much more concerned at that point with actually getting home. Surprisingly, all my luggage did, too.

Hawaii was supposed to be about sorting out a lot of the stuff that's been rolling around in my head so that I could come back and start cranking out light-hearted, somewhat cerebral, occasionally witty blog posts. I don't think I'm quite there yet, though. But I do have some great pics that I will eventually get around to posting.

HawaiiBlog, Part One

I just figured out that I can blog from my phone. Which solves the problem of not wanting to drag my laptop down to the pool each morning. It also answers the question of what I'm going to do for the next three mornings while I sunbathe.

Not that I need to do anything at all, of course. But I've never been good at sitting still, and I'm almost finished with my third book. I'm also bored with playing solitaire. Ah, the perils of vacation.

Right now I'm watching the Pacific Ocean crash into the lava rocks and trying to convince myself that my job, my cat, and my fiance are compelling enough reasons to go back to the mainland a week from today. Since both my cat and my fiance could move and my job still seems to be finding me even though I'm thousands of miles away and five hours behind, I'm thinking that it might be OK if I just stayed. After all, I could write proposals on my phone, too. And I'm much better at being a morning person here. Up at 7, down to the pool by 9. Back inside when the vog overtakes the sun. Which might not actually happen today. But my phone needs charging and I need to not get sunburned, so I will have to continue my pointless rambling tomorrow.
