Oh, Pride in Jlm (and anywhere that isn't Tel Aviv) is very political. It's a protest, hardly a celebration. I mean, people are still trying to hurt and kill some of the participents once every few years, and the stink bombs are a tradition by now, so there's still a way to go. My main task will be trying to convince the police to allow a van for people with mobility issues to join the march (no vechiles are allowed). And finding the money for it. I won't mind commercialization to this end...

Go, Shir!
I have turned several boxes and bags of paper into one large bag of paper that still needs to be dealt with but is an improvement. And I think I'm done for the day because my back is protesting. Off to take a shower before ltc gets home. Also I need someone to send me some gold stars.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'm in awe and GO SHIR of all of this!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Also, there's a 65 year old ultra orthodox man who is coming to these meetings, and while he won't join the march because of his family, he wants to be a part of the accessibility team.
Wow, that's amazing.

Thank you all. And gold stars to sj!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Shir, that's wonderful! And congrats!
sj, gold star! Cleaning is hard.
I have the same problems with cleaning and asthma and clutter. Next week I'm getting an estimate on new carpet for upstairs, so this weekend I have to clean. It'll be miserable

I have to spend the weekend puttering around the apartment. I've got clothes scattered all over and a kitchen floor to clean. Time to put Phryne Fisher on the TV while I work.

Ever notice how painful it is NOT to say to your boss' boss, "If you would just do it right the first time, the process wouldn't be such a long one."? Just me?

Thanks, guys. I needed that more than you know.
