There is no doubt it is a different way of life here on the big island. Getting used to new roommates is a not easy when nobody really knows each other. There are six of us that live here in this house and that has been an adjustment too. Along with all the other things that go along with people who live together in one house.
At least I am not homeless but this situation is not going to be a piece of cake either, or a cake walk. There are so many new things I have to get used to right now. Not just having new roommates but getting back and forth from the store or into Kona for other things. There is a bus service but it is a three mile walk to the bus stop and the local stores and businesses. I have a small amount of money left, to buy food and pay for my transportation the rest of this month. It has been a big jump and as I mentioned before a complete culture shock.
There are so many things I need to do and I have to get there to get them done and find out where I have to go to get them done. Since I don't have much to do right now, I figured I would do what I love best to do to help pass the time and that is to write about what is going on. I have already heard some far out stories from one person; but I am not ready to get into that kind of stuff, or even begin to write about it. As it is a negative thing and I want to keep on the positive side of things right now.
The readership has fallen off a bit, so I don't know what is happening there. I am just trying to get back into the swing of things and hopefully it will pick up again, or maybe people are just bored with what I write, or I haven't written anything lately to keep their interest. All and all, all I can do is keep trying, and that is what I am doing now.
Aloha!
