 Saturday, June 8, 2024 

        Something happened that threw me off my pins. I didn’t sleep well. I fell asleep okay, but two hours later, I woke up in an agitated state that became worse as the night wore on. I was glad when the night was over.

       Isaac and I continued our discussion on whatever came to mind. We think alike. We both like to analyze and bat around ideas. It’s fun.

       I took on the large lawn in front of Yvette and Josh’s door with my new lawnmower-mowing therapy for my shattered nerves. I hit a few bumps. One was hard enough to shut down the lawnmower.  Had I broken a second one? Hawaii has an abundance of rocks, and they shift around.  Isaac came to say something to me. I told him I thought I had broken a second lawnmower. He stayed calm and walked the periphery, picking up loose rocks. Then he went on his way, and I happily finished mowing the lawn. I love mowing with the EGO battery-powered mower. What a difference from a gas mower!   I got the lawn mowed despite concerns that the mower was broken. If it was, it was damaged in the same place the other one had. 

       Casey came by to chop down the unsightly dead fan palm at the top of my driveway. I was on the lanai, listening for the sound of the chainsaw and wondering when he’d get started. He called me. What was the problem now? The other day, he didn’t have the tools.  He was done. The tree was in slices. The top piece had the dead palm fronds attached. I got to work separating the fronds from the trunk. I used the four-inch pruning chainsaw B, which had just been fixed.  This time, I oiled the blade and the chain before using it. I stuffed the trash barrel with the fronds and the branches I had cut off from one of the shrubs and wheeled it down to Darby’s.

I called Sears again on Lutz’s advice.  I complained about the serviceman’s social skills and his evaluation of the dishwasher.  She asked me if water was coming out of the front of the dishwasher.  If the water wasn’t coming out of it, it was a plumbing problem.  I have to call a handyman.

      Tonight, I got to see what Royal saw at the bottom of the hole on Outer Range. Hmm! Maye not. And then Amy was kidnapped.  I turned it off immediately. I don’t need that aggravation before I go to bed.  I switched to watching Hit Man on Netflix.  It looked like a fun comedy – until I checked out the plot on Wiki. I don’t think so.
