The mausoleum at the “old folks home” in Waikiki is situated at the end of the hallway (open-air side), so there is only one adjacent neighbor. That’s been ideal since the neighbors are extremely quiet ... that is, until two days ago. The neighbors seem to have acquired a landline phone. So, every morning commencing circa 4 o’ click, the phone “rings.” Then, that’s repeated every ten minutes for three or four cycles. Sleep has become difficult, to say the least. Why do senior citizens live landline phones?

In any case, a small pack of foam earplugs was purchased at Longs® for less than two dollars. Thank goodness for the $2 rewards coupon! Sadly, a huge supply of foam earplugs was divested a couple of years ago. The plan was to wean off the earplugs in order decrease dependence on them (in what was preparation for the motorhomeless option).

Insomnia and sleep problems have become ubiquitous during the “super-duper corona” plan-demic. With lives and life-styles in disarray, who can possibly sleep soundly?

Anyway, sleep deprivation is always a good excuse to procure another cup of coffee at the fast food joint in town. The caffeine certainly facilitates the completion of the usual workout at the gym. Sheesh!

Addendum: Dining at Panda Express at Ala Moana Center has become somewhat laborious. The whole experience has degenerated since the crowds returned. Canned chili with beans may become the default dinner fare.

Miscellany: The one great benefit about questioning anyone’s blind submission to the mRNA “vaccine” is that those individuals will subsequently disassociate themselves. Good riddance!

Update: Currently, over 65% of the local population has been administered the mRNA “vaccine.” Because this is a “Blue” state, expect close to 100% “vaccinated” before Summer.
