Tues. 5/30/17
Nice day back at the museum, with a little scary-furnace-story time and some lighting adventures. Brought myself back to the feeling of being in a lab and being afraid of lighting a Bunsen Burner. This is clearly more severe a situation.
Wed. 5/31/17
M took the car for the day for her 3rd go at a road test so I drove the 2004 model and parked myself outside of grounds since I lacked a sticker. Luckily spaces right near the main gate were open. I still had to lug my violin inside.
It was a lonely morning since D still wasn't in and J would clearly be ditching. Thankfully the techs were responsive to my pleas to tango 1 and got the furnace lit for me and ready to go. It was nice to hear from bb and get some cuddles. Shared a miso kale musubi and a restful lunch break before I hauled in a lychee box to share. Smelled so good so I ate two before heading down to lava.
Right after the pour in my 2:30 pm show, someone called out my name among the applause and I lost my focus. It was Ariel and she introduced me to Michael. My memory made me doubt the instant recognition throughout the second half of the show and it was slightly rough.
Tried out a 3:15 pm interpretive box session. Started out with the cloud stuff laid out and Ariel was so good to bring her kids over. Let them work some fine motor skills by squeezing the pump. Amazing to know how many parents or youngins know to not let kids have lasers. Got told that Chevis now has a kid.
Gladly handed b's parents some Korea goodies, even the otter hair-tie, and leisurely walked down to rehearsal. Long but funny - the ignored clock, the ignored instructions for the kiddos to leave early. Got a ride back, a chicken soft taco, a steak chalupa, and good rest.
Thurs. 6/1/17
Got in late but with good timing; said goodbye to a great casual. Nice to hear that people enjoyed the lychee.
First walk to Kam as a means to get food and exercise at once. I enjoyed a midnight mint mocha on Starbucks and a Ba-Le sandwich. It's been a while since Manoa days. My mouth suffered from the french bread as usual.
Slow, tough afternoon without being lava but I made some fun for myself doing a sky themed interpretive box mashup between clouds and birds. A father told me his wife is Deputy Lieutenant or something of the sort and was currently, i.e. today, on Midway in commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the battle of Midway, with some surviving soldiers who hated each other. She's also going to Laysan later so she's really enjoying her job. Amazing.
A lonely drive home but had a good afternoon sharing Earth tattoos with children. Then I got to share lychee with my mom.
