Synchronize watches Well, it’s taking me a loooong time, but I’m getting close to finishing this story. : ) August 4th, 2006 Free day, or free half-a-day. Civic had been texting me asking if I had “lost” Daisy yet. Nobody had banked on us being able to tolerate one another 24/7 for a whole week. And we weren’t splitting off to do our own things because we couldn’t stand each other anymore. Daisy was headed off to Hanauma Bay to go snorkeling, and I’m not a very strong swimmer so I passed on that. I needed to go shopping, and that wasn’t very high on Daisy’s list. So the plan was: have breakfast together, split off, and then reconvene in the afternoon to check out the huge Hilo Hattie store. Oops, I must have been more exhausted than I thought. I somehow slept through Daisy’s alarm clock, beyond her trying to gently wake me up, and I did not even stir when she left. When I woke, there was a note on my pillow wishing me a good sleep and that she would meet me in a few minutes
