In the end the mammogram wasn't painful at all. My aunt said it was like having your breasts in a sandwich toaster and she was definitely right, but it was barely even uncomfortable. That, or I was just in the care of a particularly skilled person. I'm slightly stressed about getting the results, but there's no real reason to think that anything ( Read more... ) -

The house is just looking better and better. We finished cleaning J's room yesterday and it looks way better. Of course now there are puzzle pieces everywhere, but it least it's messy rather than dirty. D also vacuumed B and M's room yesterday and it's nice to think that they can (sort of mostly) keep it clean ( Read more... ) -
The big chop
I'm mostly in denial about this which is why I've neglected to mention it thus far: I had my hair hacked off. It looks terrible, but in the long term it was the right thing to do because so much of it was really dry. The sad thing is that all my curls are now gone :-( -

So we're back in England. I'm too exhausted to write about how it felt to be leaving, the trip back (long) the exhaustion (extreme) and baking for the fair (painful - I literally can't stand, plus fatigue is making everything take ten times as long).

Four days till we leave. D spent today at home, mostly not working. I started my day at the Ministry of Interior. Yes, folks, the game is up - the Israeli government has finally figured out that I'm married and I have kids. Whoops. I guess this is what comes of spending longer than three months here. D went to renew the tourist visa he and ( Read more... ) -

All of our winter clothes have been packed for a while now, but we're starting to talk about what we're leaving behind and what we have to fit into our meager luggage allowance ( Read more... ) -
Kids
Gramma asked me to buy J a present for his birthday which she would then reimburse me for. There's a toy store in town and I looked through their range of toys for children J's age. My primary goal was to find something small. I ended up getting him a small jar of large plastic beads. They come in three different shapes and in two different ( Read more... )
