Oahu, last full day here (I hope)

Up since 1:30am, out of bed since 2:15.  Difficulty sleeping, concentrating, focusing on writing.  Yesterday really a nearly total waste, just dealing with Kona rental agreement (big island of Hawaii has some unique rules for extended stays via AirBnB), exchanges with our host there, trying to figure out if we can get groceries there…Will likely do some shopping here before we depart tomorrow, just try to stuff whatever we can into our bags.  Packed scuba gear yesterday; we have enough room for some groceries, that’s not a worry.

I suspect that if I could stop listening to the news, I could blissfully focus on writing, but the situation here and everywhere else (yesterday’s CA proclamation that all should shelter in place, e.g.) is so very fluid.  I’m almost afraid that if I stop listening, we’ll show up at the airport tomorrow and it’ll be closed w/o our knowing… 

Not feeling afraid of the virus, just feeling like we’re biding our time to get to tomorrow/Kona.

Now 5am, should probably try to get a bit of sleep again; we’ll see if that’s possible while listening to Morning Edition…
