week
well, the optical mouse on this computer keeps freezing up. luckily the warranty on this thing is a year. and i bought it in april? i think so. i still had bucks. i was still working. yes. maybe even may? before i knew i was leaving. hmm.. just before the nervous break down. no, i did not buy it in february. was it a nervous breakdown i had? i don't know. anyhow, the mouse keeps freaking on me.
lazy past two days. finally got to the pool today for the first time in a week. nice.
nursery in the morning. hopefully we'll have kids there. then an appt w/ my lmt. then thursday an appt with my therapist at 2. friday an appt w/ the doc at 3.
yesterday (monday) a friend asked me about thanksgiving. apparently its next week. oops. not a big deal for me. i'll probably just go solo. i don't want to be all family like and such. well, i do. but with my furry family.
christmas (without the christianity) is my holiday. this year my mom will be in eithopia and my dad in thailand. zack, the brother, will be in fairfax w/ his in-laws. me, i'll be here in oregon, w/ the furries.
passport arrived today. it wasn't supposed to arrive for anotther month. i need someone to pay for me to travel the world. i'd like to go to israel.
yes, i said israel. i'd like to go talk to both sides. just as me. i'd like to experience that kind of fear.
no, i am not suicidal right now.
i just have the need to open myself up to that kind of experience. its to safe here. i'd like to know what its like not to be this safe. ya know? i'd like to talk to folks, see it all. its a dream. yes, its a dream of mine. i wanna understand people better. and where else are people misunderstood the most? isreal and palestine. they live next door to each other and they don't understand each other, if next door neightbors can't understand each other than how are people as far away as i am supposed to understand them?
yes. i'd like to understand so i can help others understand. its the whole peacenik in me. peace can only come through understanding and respect. you might not agree, but you can understand and respect the otherside. and if you have those two things you are better likely to have peace.
at least that is my humble opinion.
anyhow, if the land that israel and palestine is so important that people are killing each other every day than it must be important for me to visit. important to have a better understanding of who we are as humans.. maybe. i just want to go.. nothing wrong with that, right?
okay, bedtime for brooke, lily, max, ava, and smudge.
