Sickness Notwithstanding

Thursday I was down with a deep cough and draggy energy and spent the day eating gimchi/doubou jigae and ginger tea. The 6 PM news did not lift my spirits as I felt bad for my son and Second Nature's certain disappointment that they did not win the Band Champ. I crashed on my old bed for one more time before my sis and hubby arrived. MAHALO to son Steven for cleaning up the room and taking on all the household chores while his brother was doing music.
I was up with a pounding headache at 4 AM and finally go back to sleep- waking up at 9:30 AM- completely missing the Band Champ presentation to Why Bother on the early morning news.

Then I downed an Advil, drained a cup of coffee and dragged myself out of the house to greet my sister Norma and her hubby Jim. Steven drove us into Lihue where we met them at Pho Kauai for lunch and Hamura's for halohalo.

Afterwards, We did some errands and ran into Mrs. Nitta at #1 Chinese Food where we were both ordering food to go. Mrs Nitta is the mom of Norma's best high school friend Melissa.

Then we went fishing on the Waimea Landing with Aaron- no take-home fish this time but lots of fun.

We all got together around our new table for dinner. Michele, Jason, Lilu and Alison joined the fishers for steak, Korean goodies from Palama Supermarket on Oahu and assorted poke from Ishihara Market in Waimea.
