Tom fixed the bedroom and laundry room runaway doors. The bedroom door would flop halfway shut, and the laundry room would shut completely. We got a black rubber door draft strip to put on the bathroom door to help reduce light when sleeping, but it didn’t do the trick. There wasn’t that much light anyway. Then we decided to have him put it on the bedroom door thinking it would catch on the carpet and hold itself open that way, and it worked. He fixed the laundry door using magnets.

Late yesterday morning we grabbed an early lunch at Carl’s Jr. but didn’t do much other than what we usually do when we’re home. He mostly relaxed, played games and watched TV. I worked out, entered sweeps, copied another month of journals over to Blogger, watched a movie, and did some reading and writing.

Only two days of landscaping to listen to over the last week and lots of traffic yesterday. Really hope that and the car doors are a little less frequent today. I’m just amazed we didn’t end up next to that woodworker. I mean, that’d be just our classic shit luck.

Yesterday afternoon there was a knock on the front door. I thought it was next door coming to tell us they’d returned from vacation. Instead, it was the welcome committee, LOL. Yeah, a woman (I don’t remember what her name tag said) came on a golf cart and welcomed us, even though we’ve been here a few months already, and gave us an event calendar. They have exercise classes, painting, ceramics, and a ladies’ club. The usual things listed in the monthly newsletter they deliver to the houses.

I’m not saying we’ll never play bingo or partake in any of the activities, but right now we’re content to just keep to ourselves. I’ve never been much of a socializer and again I make no apologies for what’s just me being me. Coworkers and neighbors just aren’t people we like to socialize with.

It hit us that the restaurants are going to be outrageously expensive in Ka’anapali. Like $30 a person. So we checked and there’s a McDonald’s within walking distance of where we’ll be staying. We can enjoy some fine dining and room service, but we don’t want to spend $50 - $100 a day on food either.
