Catching up

Pramod and I are both really looking forward to moving on. We've enjoyed our free time (and we've had a lot of it!), but we're going a little stir crazy. We're leaving on November 1st, to go to the other side of the island to work on a coffee farm, so just a few more days to go.

The kitten has been named Missy. We have gotten a few other WWOOFers at Dharma Farm and on girl, Ingrid from Norway, is more of a cat lover than I am--is that possible? We she actually went out of her way to buy real cat food for her. I can't believe that in the 10 days that she's been around, she has grown so much! She looks much more healthy. Ingrid has promised me that she will take good care of Missy after we leave and that she'll bring her to a shelter when she moves on if there is no one else who will take care of her, so I don't need to worry about that. I bet it's going to be hard to leave her though! She is still the most affectionate cat I've ever met--someone just needs to look at her and she'll start purring.

It's strange how I've felt somewhat disconnected since I've been here in Hawaii, but as soon as our plans to leave are on the horizon I've started connecting. There are a couple of people on another farm who I have really enjoyed getting to know. Monica is someone in particular who I met a couple of days ago but already I feel like I've known her forever. Well, it's good to make connections and I bet that we'll meet again. It's hard for me to feel close to someone and when I do it's even harder for me to leave them.

Also, our last day at yoga--Pramod taught and was highly praised--and out last day at soccer--I played and loved it so much.
