I finally made it to the beach today [today being Sunday]

On my first day of work my boss presented to me a laundry basket filled with housewarming supplies. For lunch, she brought to the office homemade guacamole, because I’m from Arizona and would therefore miss Mexican food.

My boss is both generous and correct: I could go for a Carambas Mexican pizza right about now.

For Yesterday, because the last post was actually from Thursday via Hawaii Time

Last night I only saw my reflection in the window and I prematurely pulled my bus stop. The driver glared as I said sorry, next stop.

The stop before mine is the cemetery. I know that I’m being ridiculous, and that the family upstairs is noisy, but lately I’ve heard some bumps in the night.

I have decided to blog fifty-five words a day, every day, for the next year.

There were two puffer fish swimming past a submerged, barnacle-clad shopping cart in the Ala Wai Canal. One orange, one purple. Phoenix Suns colors. I hesitated and considered taking a picture when it started raining.

I have not yet made it to the beach but I have made it to Wal-Mart. Twice. Shhhh. Don’t tell.
