This is a journal of my day-to-day activities. While I may vent at times, I am in a wonderful facility with caring professionals who take good care of me. I will keep things anonymous, as most of my experiences can happen anywhere.
This week was written on October 11th, which is largely why there will not be as much detail. I apologize for this procrastination, but I have been less and less motivated to write lately. I am now massively distracted by getting ready for my birthday party, so I fear things will get worse before they get better.

As of August, 2023, it has been less than a year since I left Maui, my home of nearly 17 years. Upcountry, where I used to live, experienced wildfires this August, but the massive West Maui fires have torn through over 1500 acres, and prompted over 1,277 evacuations in Lahaina, Kaanapali, Kahana and surrounding communities.
A Cup of Cold Water is a charity started by the four Episcopal churches in Maui, one of which was destroyed. The charity has been in existence since 2013 and has been on the front lines of the recovery effort.
9th Life Hawaii is the cat sanctuary where I adopted Humphrey. I know they are doing everything they can to help. If you are able, please consider donating to one of these charities.
