After Ken was here, I cooked some dinner and listed 15 things on Ebay, then decided if I can't move my schedule back with any success, maybe I should try moving it forward.
So I stayed up all night, packed 12 things I could take with me without needing the trailer, left here around 11AM to drop the things off at the post office, deposit my check at the bank, double back to go to Nijiya where I bought a bunch of stuff, and back to here.
It's the 4th week of January and the sorrels are up and flowering and it's not just a few in one or two places, but everywhere. Plus a lot of other flowering things like those little bitty daisies, and crocuses, I think, by one of the little free libraries. I haven't kept meticulous track of such things, but I remember seeing those little yellow sorrel flowers being a sign of Spring, in March or so.
Instead of going right to bed after eating the food I'd bought at Nijiya, I did something to keep me engaged for a few hours; I took apart the power supply Ken had brought here last night. That was probably the dirtiest piece of equipment I've ever taken apart. Plus it was nice and complicated so it certainly did eat up some time.
The idea is to stay awake until 8 or 9 or 10, then go to bed and wake up early in the morning. I used to get up at 6AM routinely, and in a place like Hawaii it's going to be very useful to be back to that schedule, as there, people get up early and get things done before it gets too hot, then take it easy in the hottest part of the day, then do more things when it cools down in the evening.
