Forgot to mention that I was trying to convince my dad to go to Molokai, which is a smaller island near Maui in Hawaii. It's off of the beaten path; a Web site called it "Hawaii as of 50 years ago," which is around the time that we started going there (which is scary!) Dad told me to go and give him a trip report. So I need to save money so that I can travel. It sounds like a relaxing, laid-back trip.

I solved a problem. John Frieda is no longer making my hair color. I found a color that I like from Madison Reed. It's more expensive, but it's also better color. I need to use up what I have first though.

The kitchen light was flickering on and off last night. I thought that the bulb was going, but it kept doing that for over an hour. I guess that the voltage is fluctuating. No, it's out completely now.

Had problems getting moving, but I did stay up late reading. Still, I would have gotten over seven hours of sleep. I keep forgetting to take my morning meds, so that's probably part of the problem. Also, one of my nighttime meds tires me out.

I wrote my dad for tips on lowering my energy bill. He told me to not worry about the cats; "until they pay the electric bill, they don't get a vote". I figured that he'd say something like that. He also told me to let Mimi out, which is not going to happen. But I'll try leaving the lights off in the evening and see how it goes.
