My ankles are SO swollen from all the walking/climbing this week. And I rolled my left one after getting my keys from my neighbor's house. Ooof. As if today wasn't long enough LOL
By the way, those are the free slippers I got from one of the hotels

Craft Fairs
BLARGH!
Hawaii is so flipping ridiculous. I'd LIKE to start selling stuff I make at craft fairs, but the state requires me to get a GET license. I've looked at the form online and it's SO confusing and I have no idea what the heck they want from me! So far the ONLY thing I know is that I'd be a sole proprietorship and that I might have to get a tax ID number. It just seems absurd because I'm not going to freaking even be IN hawaii for much longer and overall it is just pissing me off. I've been looking at the stupid form for forever. WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM MEEEEE? Ugh.
I could apply for a "one time" use, but I STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT IT WANTS.
ARGH! TAXES ARE STUPID PLUS I HATE HOW GREEDY HAWAII IS!!!

I just want to kick the state in the face. Maybe I'll stick to garage sales.

Windows 10... hesitant.
Well the time has come, Microsoft offered to update my computer from Windows 8 to Windows 10. And I accepted that freebie. But I tell you what, this is sure different. It's now more like a regular computer screen, instead of switching back and forth from desktop to start screen. Although I had JUST gotten used to it hahah... Yeah maybe I shouldn't have upgraded LOL. It had a lot of downsides but it also had a few good parts about it too, like you could view everything that was installed on your system, based on apps and on programs and such so it made it easier to find certain things when you needed them. Now, when you click the Windows insignia it opens up a black start menu with pictures and words instead of just a programs list like other computers. Meh. I'm medium about it, and if I decide I hate it I'll just do a reboot and uninstall the update. I'll give it an effort.
Other than that things have been putting along. I've just been crafting and occasionally hanging out with both wives from the boat and neighbors and church friends. It's been pretty good I guess! No actual storms beside a little rain at night and no increased winds. OBVIOUSLY there were no "missile risks" and no random pots flew through my windows at ALL. Which was a major surprise because after all the freaking out about THIRTY-FIVE MILE PER HOUR WINDS i thought for SURE I'd get at least ONE broken window. Rip-off artists. lol.
Dahm is still on "black out" where there are no emails going out and very rarely going in. I hope that ends soon. Like say, in the next week or so. That'd be optimal.
I had some (A LOT) of annoyances with stuff that Dahm sent from Singapore. I don't even want to go into it. Let's just say I'll never get THAT time again. I'm thinking that I mayyyyy do something fun this week, like snorkeling, if I can find someone to go with me. Sam's parents are back in town so she's going to pretty much be MIA for awhile. Maybe I can get my friend Amanda to go with me :)
I love you all!

Ricky at the dog beach last week
He was ornery a few times but he was overall pretty good! He sure loves Sam's dog Alohi!
It was a very pretty evening too! :)

Cute puppies
There are no contrived pictures, even Ricky in a towel. He did that by himself after I put it on his back :) such cuties!
(My hands were only up to block the light, not the screen. Without it you couldn't see the doggie LOL)

Sigh
Well it is about dang time that I updated everyone with news.
Last week Dahm was in Singapore. So far no more unexplained tattoo's that I am aware of. However, I don't trust him at all anymore so there's that too. He took about $1480 out at this port ALONE, including most the paycheck and additional money from the savings account. And silly me, he talked about saving a lot of money while he was gone >.> I hate to sound resentful, but I'm really tired of the flip flop "I'm gonna do what my buddies do and everything they do is cool no matter what it is," attitude. I am really over it. But all I can really say is oh well, because he sees it as his money still. He's so stupid since we came here. I didn't realize that the humidity would leech out his brain cells. I try not to think about it too much because I get angry and upset and fed up, and he doesn't get a chance to try and fix it.
But he has to make some big choices when he comes back. Either he's going to change or he isn't, and I don't have the time, effort, or the capability to try and change him.It just sucks thinking that I might have to reset and go back to square one. At least I know one thing will never change, my parents and my family love me beyond belief and I know I can always count on you for that :)
Thank you mom for saying prayers for me, it really helps to know that I'm not the only one praying and worrying about everything. I know I have my own personal flaws (like becoming EXTREMELY hangry when I don't get my dinner), but I know that it can't just take me doing my best, it has to be both of us or neither of us. So I'm just trying to enjoy the time I have here on the island and I'm trying not to stress too much because I know I'm in capable hands. So I'll just teach Primary and go to church and hang out with Sam and the missionaries.
I was talking to Sam about how Nikki had the audacity to ask me to watch her dogs after never paying me for watching them in the past. She was like, "Well you could always tell her you need money up front," but the problem is that she owes me a lot of back pay XD and even if she DID pay me up front she would STILL owe me. So I'm not in the mood for that. I'm not into friends who only call me when they need something :p I need real life friends lol
I made a new friend on my street, she's really sweet (and Jamie's age ish I think) and her name is Rebekah. She's got a bunch of medical issues they're trying to sort out, she's tired all the time and practically has a caffeine addiction because of it haha. What's really cool about her and Sam is that they both know I don't drink coffee, tea, or alcohol and they both totally respect it and don't give it another thought. They're really nice and good friends. Sam forgets sometimes and the sweetie always asks if I'd like to try some of her Starbucks drinks. I'm going to go over to her house for dinner tomorrow, she's making lasagna out of zucchini noodles and she's hoping it will taste really good.
I also feel like I've got a slight cold, it's not a pleasant feeling of headachey, back of the throat nonsense, but it's barely there so I'm hoping it'll just go away and I won't have to figure out how to get a doctor's appointment now that I have Tricare. Bluh. I have flute lessons with a sweet little girl Katelyn who told me last time that she wishes she could go to the beach with me before school starts because she thinks I'd be a lot of fun :) what a cutie! She's doing pretty well in her lessons, she has issues switching between D and E flat, even though the only difference between the two is the pinky placement. So far she's learned notes B flat, C, D, E flat, F, and last lesson we learned G. She's almost got a scale! haha :) Pretty awesome for like, six lessons.
Cocoa keeps trying to weasel her way onto my lap whenever I use my laptop. It's cute, but it's also annoying. I never want to refuse snuggles to either dog though, they're so very good and they deserve so much more attention than they get sometimes. So POOF my work doesn't get done when she's around hahahah. I've made a lot of cool stuff for my busy-ness and it's looking pretty cute. I still have a lot to go. But it's exciting and fun and it takes my mind off a lot.
I'm thinking about visiting in either September or October, just depending on how everything goes here. I'll probably have to leave the dogs here, but now I've got another friend on my street I feel safer doing so. She's really sweet so I bet she'd be willing to water my plants and stuff while I was gone.
I haven't been doing as much I guess as I thought. Sam and I hang out every week and we go to the store together and shop and stuff.
I should probably go to bed, I have flute lessons in the morning and it's already midnight :o
I'll try to get on soon and tell you how much fun Ricky had at the park and all the other happy stuff and pictures that I don't have time to put up before bed. For now I need to brush everyone's teeth (which the dogs have grown to love haha)
Goodnight!
