Honey is Sweet

A great life - 2006-06-20

I'm grateful for: Almost everything right now

Kind of unbelievable, I have actually answered all the email in my inbox that is answerable. Wow!

And it's only about 3:15am. Isn't a little perspective a wonderful thing? Most of my life I would complain about being up this late, but after the last few weeks this is positively early! :-) I may get to bed before the sun comes up. I'm not holding my breath, mind you, but the possibility exists.

One of my favourite sites for downloading music (legally) seems to be 'off the air.' It's gone. I've tried back several times. Baw! There's another site which I pay a subscription to which allows me to download a certain number of songs a month, and I've reached my limit. I swear I'm suffering withdrawal. It's nutty, but true. I just love downloading music.

I'm also awake and all by myself. Enough that I've had some time to hear myself think, and to actually *listen* to music. Not just have it playing in the background or competing with whatever else is claiming my attention. I listened to enough to discover I've collected a lot of crap the last year or so, while I wasn't being able to pay a whole lot of attention to it all. That's okay, it will all get weeded out eventually.

Right now, I'm listening to The Manhattan Transfer doing Twilight Zone. Now all I need are decent speakers and a room in which the accoustics aren't the same as an airplane hangar. Still, I'm too happy to compplain about it.

I didn't sleep again last night. Fell asleep around noon, which meant I got three hours sleep before going to see the social worker at the Eriya (I am completely at a loss to know how to transliterate that). The municipality offices, anyway. She is an intake worker to see what I am entitled to in the way of concrete help. Now that is a concept which is sorely missing in the U.S. I'm disabled so I am entitled to some concrete help. Wow.

John's telephone interview is tomorrow at 5pm our time (10am EST). Please, keep us in your prayers if you do that. It's hard having something that seems to hold out so much hope just out of reach. By this time tomorrow we'll know how the interview went, at least, but are unlikely to know if he's been offered a job.

There's also the question of if John will want the job. So far it seems probable, but we'll just have to find out more.

I sat up for supper, watched a couple of episodes of MASH, got a few rows of knitting done (!!!), and have cleaned out my inbox for the moment. This feels like a pretty momentous day. Maybe the long horrible time really is over.

Oy, my mother sent me the contact information for a second cousin of mine who also lives in Israel. I held off responding, because I'm not sure I want even that much contact with my family. I mean, I'm finally almost shut of them all. But in the end I sent my phone number to my mother's cousin, who will send it to Zalman (the 2nd cousin in Israel), and we'll see what happens. In any event it is totally up to Zalman, so if he's not interested I've lost nothing. And maybe it will be something different. After all, this is another one who moved to Israel and the rest of the family thinks is crazy. Maybe there is hope there.

My feet are itching something horrible (I don't know why). I'm going to take that as a sign that I should stop this and go sit someplace else at least. Wow.

The sun isn't up, I've accomplished something, I can hear my music. What a great life.

I'm listening to The Loomers: Television
