Stomach blech seems to be finito, thank goodness. I still, however, have residual chest blech, coughing and general throat clearing, which sounds like I'm trying to make a point but it really is just me trying to clear my throat. Ahem. Ahem. Ahem. Hack-hack. Ahem. Ahem. Ahem.
I am SOOOOO looking forward to the warm, tropical weather of the Big Island of Hawaii. I actually want to stick my rear in my not-sexy-at-all-fat-lady-bathing-suit; sit in those salty waves and watch sea turtles and look for shells and shake the sand out of my daughter's bathing-suited butt. Hawaii is a place where my body awareness gets taken down a few notches because I am in a place where I look like most everyone else. Everybody comes in all shapes and sizes, but I blend in more. I'm not so distinct because my "exotic looks" that get me puzzled looks in California are native to Hawaii. There's no question of my gene-pool. Everyone whose from Hawaii looks at me and knows I'm a hapa, a half-breed mix. They see the Hawaiian, they see the haole (white), they can probably even discern the Chinese.
I've been mistaken for Latina, Fijian, middle eastern, Jewish, Filipina, Sicilian (foughedaboudit), Romanian, Lapplander, Janet Jackson (!)...in Hawaii, I'm just an island girl. Granted, I'm an island girl with a haole accent, but I am island. It is, without question, a place I am allowed to make my home even though I wasn't born there, wasn't raised there, and cannot name all my ancestors back to Kamehameha. My journeys to Hawaii have been itinerate and infrequent, and I sound like pure college-bred honky when I open my mouth. Nonetheless, I am an island girl. And nothing can or will ever change that. And that, my friends, is pretty darned neat.

Timing totally off. Stayed up too late and threw everything out of whack. Just tried to make sure I limited my carbs to the earlier part of the day. Didn't have any soy nuts left in my desk so had nothing to nibble when I stayed at the office late to get ready for being gone a month. Did, however, find a stale half pack of sunflower seeds, which I tried to siphon off through the eve. Ate entirely too late, but kept carbs at a minimum. Will be up late tonight, tho not as late as last night, so will give the food time to settle down. UGH.
