crap !! i really thought i would arrive in time for me to be able to cash it and make it to the gym. as it is, i wasn't paying attention to time and when i looked up, it was already too late to do anything... let alone go cash a check that i didn't get.
i've been working on ourmodiin and i'm getting tired of thinking of so many new ideas at the same time. i like the ideas that i have, but i keep detouring from the task at hand !! i've got to buckle down and do the work that i set out to do, then i can keep adding extra stuff.
thank God that Tamar has been at a friend's all afternoon. God knows how much i needed a break from her. at least she got herself together for school this morning. now all i have to to is check her follow-up sheet and make sure she was in each and every single class during the day. i'm getting too old for all this crap.
time to go rest already.
peace out everyone !!

if i don't get a check in the mail today, we're in deep shit.
i have zero cash on me, because i couldn't cash a check from Sunny's account last thursday :-( i had to deposit the stupid check into my account and the money won't be available until monday, at some time. gggrrrrr.
i'm really hoping that the check that my Auntie Paz sent me last week will arrive today. if not... big time cash troubles.
still, life is great !!

Shabbat
oh, did i sleep well yesterday afternoon and last night. i guess i really needed it after a long week of having a bladder infection, working for hours and hours on the website, and the effects of having Sunny surprise us on thursday evening.
i'm planning on working on the website as much as possible today, but Nina is already asking for computer time. i have no idea when i'm finally going to be able to get their computer fixed. no money, no 2nd computer.
i've been spending way too much time on other sites on the internet. although they are fun, and help me too, they take my attention, time and energy away from the task at hand. i have to cut back on the play-time.
it's an absolutely beautiful day today. a bit more like our *fall*. i was so excited when it started to rain last week, but that was very short-lived :-( i'm thinking that winter will just pass us by and all of sudden it'll be summer 2009 !!
okay, time to get to work.
peace out everyone !!

and here i was thinking that *yesterday* was a splendid day....
SUNNY CAME HOME TODAY !!!!!
she completely surprised most of us. Oren and Rico knew about her plans, but they didn't know that the other one knew (got that?). Racheli was left out of the loop and only found out when Oren took a detour on the way to Modiin, going to the airport instead of straight to Modiin.
i was sitting at the computer, just minding my own business, when Rico, Racheli and Oren came in the house, all saying *hi*. i was busy with whatever i was doing and just said *hi* back. then Rico said *let me give you a kiss and a hug*, so i got up and i saw SUNNY !!!
at first i thought she was an illusion. something like what i've seen on Crossing Jordan lately (Jordan has a brain tumor). and then it hit me ~~~ she's here, right in front of you !!!!
she jumped into my arms and we hugged forever. i couldn't breathe. i started to cry. my whole body was shaking. i thought i was going to have a stroke. all i could do was hold her very tight to me, thinking *she's here now and i'm going to hug her to death*. i kept asking her if she was alright ? if everything is okay ? if she's not here because she's sick or something horrible ? she kept reassuring me that everything is just fine. i thought i would have to take a Valium, or 3.
then about 1/2 hour later Nina and Tamar came home and they were in shock too. they jumped on her and they had a huge group hug that lasted forever. Rico and Racheli were looking on the whole time and had the biggest grins on their faces. i've never seen the 5 of them so happy :-)
why did she come home, you're asking ? with all the hard-ass tactics that are going on in London right now, with illegal workers, she was finding it very stressful to work. she kept thinking that any minute the immigration cops would come in and take her away, like they had done to her good friend last week.
also, the weather is really shitty in London now. last winter the weather was really mild and she didn't like the huge difference.
also, she didn't have enough money to go on to Italy, which is her next destination. she'll work here for 3-4 months and then head to Italy in the spring.
also, she missed us a lot and wanted to be home, with family and friends. it's been just a bit less than one year since she first flew off to Europe. it was time for her to be with the family and her good friends.
now she's going to be living with Oren (ha!) and she'll work in some restaurant in Tel Aviv. she'll probably have 10 job offers by Sunday. she's so talented and such a good worker, everyone wants her in their kitchen.
i'm just so grateful to God for all His Blessings !!

oh WOW !!
today has been F A B U L O U S !!! :-) i feel like a new person. lots of energy. no pain. no brain fog. bladder pills finally kicked in big time. what else could a girl ask for ??
tomorrow i'm walking up to the bank, and walking back home :-) that won't be too much for me. i'll do it in the late afternoon, when the temps are down. it'll be real good for me.
sunday can't come any faster. finally, God Willing (!!!!) i will be at Holmes Place by 3:30pm :-)
the website is going real good. i got lots done today. i even got some good suggestions for the site. i have to write a list of things to do, or else the Mad Cow will make me forget everything.
this is enough for today.
peace out everyone !!!

today was MUCH better
i had a pretty good day, although the bladder infection is still lingering around. what a @#$%^& this is !! i can't go to the gym, so as not to over-do it and get sicker again.
work on the site has been *iffy* lately. i've been mucking around the internet too much and not really getting new content onto the site. i guess i'm a bit burnt out by the content part, and i really needed a change.
i hope that tomorrow i feel at least as good as today. i have to go to the bank :-( . oh, how i HATE leaving the house. just hate it. but i've got to move money around, from one account to another, just so i don't get myself into any trouble.
i'm now going to check out what's going on at Facebook and Patients Like Me (i told you that i'm wasting too much time playing on the web).
peace out everyone !!
