A younger friend went to the protest. They said there were as many as 250 there. And around 30 counter protesters.

#Hawaii sumidafarm With heavy hearts, we share the news that beloved 3rd generation Sumida Farm Operations Manager, David "Beano" Sumida, passed away peacefully Sunday December 8, 2024, surrounded by his loving 'ohana. To many in our Sumida Farm community, he was known as "Uncle Dave”. More on IG.

#Hawaii No ringside restaurant table for the parade, so I sandwiched myself between the t-shirt on sale and the Christmas tree, so I could peep on the Honolulu City Lights parade and the guys bromancing between cooking, serving and eating.

Okay, maybe I feel a teensy bit Christmas-y. Maybe. Santa was in the audience. And I just noticed the guy swinging his hips on the up escalator. 🤣 #Hawaii

Surfers, Waianae mountain range, egrets. By this time, a lady with two walking sticks passed us for the second time. She was probably around my age, and moving 20 mph, while I was at 5 mph. Maybe.

#HawaiiGang When I'm stuck with a day That's gray and lonely I just stick out my chin Not gonna grin. Instead, wrote a check to Planned Parenthood because reproductive care IS healthcare and a woman birthed each and every one of you. I could say more, but imma be nice.

When I feel helpless against the forces of evil massing against me, I need to stop & ponder what I can do to help others. Please think of those who might need your time, or care, or a check, if you can spare it. ❤️ Please consider donating to this small #Hawaii grassroots effort to provide rubber 1/

Yesterday was so disheartening, this was the first meal of the day. White rice with butter and shoyu. It soothed my soul. If I had one.

Went to #WholePaycheck to return one AMZ item. Pretty painless w/the QR code. I also bought one thing, & lemme tell you I never had so much stink eye. #NoIGTed & I compared notes - both the Azns & yts gave us the eye. Go there once a year, that ain’t gonna change!

Gonna normalize mask wearing because someone was offended by my photo & question: “Do you mask?” Below is their attempt to school me in context of my report that a person my age died of pneumonia 2 wks ago & my friend tested + for the 2nd time the day after I saw & hugged her. #Hawaii Do you mask?

Big BUMMER! Ouch! Husband & I gave blood today. We felt guilty because our neighbor donates platelets SO OFTEN, also entire supply has been down to one day. Or less. In the spirit of sharing, I may have served husband some thumb skin via mandoline while slicing beets. 🤣 Looking forward to the book!

Okay, it’s COOL outside, and I LOVE it! Sockies and yoga pants during what’s usually the hottest time of day. Closed the sliding door and considering putting on a light pullover. A lot, because my ‘fit is shorts and tank top! For you @lisalisalei.bsky.social Thinking I should get a cup of tea!

Tuesday was #WorldMentalHealthDay Wednesday my therapist & I had a good video call. Forgot to take a photo. I’m wearing lipstick here even when no one will see it. In the past, I’ve felt there was no hope, no way out. Please talk to someone. Reach out. I want the best for you. ❤️
