Hurricane Daniel is heading straight for Hawaii. Right now, it is a category 4 hurricane but it should dissipate and become a tropical storm before it ever hits Hawaii (if it does at all). We should be fine since we are not on the beach and we sit on a hill in a two story house. Go us.

I tried to go swimming with Jason today but the swimming pool is closed for a week for termite related repairs.

One of Brian’s birthday presents came today. Unfortunately, the *main* present has not arrived and probably won’t arrive for another few weeks even though I ordered it in MAY! Sometimes eBay can be a real pain…

Brian left me! That is, he has gone on a trip to the Waipio valley and has left me at home by myself for 24 hours. Brian is going to plow taro fields or something and sleep in the dirt with a bunch of recovering drug addicts while they have no access to modern amenities. We are supposed to do an 11 mile hike tomorrow but I wonder if Brian will be up to it… I hope I will be up to it. I did not think I would be able to sleep last night but I think only getting 3 hours of sleep the night prior made it easy to rest. I ended up getting 10 hours of sleep and that was pretty nice.

I was thinking about going to see a movie last night but decided not to since Brian said he would go with me in a few weeks to see Pirates of the Carribean 2.

I also never thought I would say this but I actually think I like PHP better than Perl.

Everyone can go check out my web design portfolio if they want to… http://www.katherinejohnson.net

I would not say the site is a finished product but I would definitely say that it is a work in progress…

Just make sure you have a Flash plug-in…

We have moved to a new web hosting company. The commenting works but all the old comments are not showing up - I will fix it soon. However, you can feel free to comment… I am reselling some web hosting space so I thought I would put us on the server - all five or six of our websites… I am still working on my web design portfolio and will post the link in a couple of days…

Things are getting back to normal around here… Since we have moved to the Hamakua coast I now have a huge yard to garden in - I am thrilled. I was going to post a picture of the house but the camera has to be charged - oh well. Our house is 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and we have a basement. We also have an ofuro - it is a traditional Japanese soaking tub and we have a plantation shower complete with a concrete floor and exposed plumbing in the basement. We have about a 1/2 acre to play with too! I am also anxiously awaiting the delivery of 40 orchids in a flask that I am excited about working with.

Brian and I have both been immensely busy with work and fun things too. Between gardening, orchids, the house, day trips, work, school, reading, Powerlifting, and everything else I scarcely have time for anything especially since Brian has urged me to get back into web design… Brian has been super busy working and training to climb Mauna Loa on his 30th birthday. His family is coming to visit for his birthday and he and his dad are going to climb Mauna Loa on the *big day,* July 28, his birthday. I am glad he is doing it, I think he will have a lot of fun and remember it always… I am cooking a huge meal for everyone the day after when he and his dad come back.

Enter Exhaustion…
