A VISIT WITH A COUSIN FROM FAR AWAY-edited
On Wednesday I spent the afternoon with my cousin and her daughter from Jerusalem. She is only here for a week so I probably won’t see her again. I wish I had more time with her but never do. When I go to Jerusalem I also have very limited time with her. We do email sometimes but she’s not very good at it.
Of course they wanted to do major shopping but we did visit a museum and my cousin had time for a coffee together while her daughter shopped. Her son was in the army in Lebanon. He never told her till after he came out. When he came out of Lebanon he was sent to be commander of a troop that had problem soldiers. After awhile he almost had nervous breakdown! He is in a troop now that goes into Arab cities like Jenin and captures terrorists. My GOD!!! Why do we do this to our kids???
I hope to go back to Israel in two years. Let’s hope there is a truce by then.
Today I had my grandson. Soon as he came in he said we shouldn’t have a nap so I agreed. Instead we went out. We went for lunch and then to buy Hanukah stuff!!! After that we went to the mall to buy food.
Tonight I made a turkey breast and meatballs. We may eat the turkey tomorrow or else I’ll put it away for my HANUKAH party.
I am starting to get excited because my daughter is coming for a visit next Saturday. I really miss her.
While talking to my cousin I decided what I would like for my 65th birthday. I would like to renovate a room so I can paint in it. Of course my hubby wasn’t happy. He said I had said my new computer would be my present. I know I NEVER said that. My old one was good enough thank you. New computers were YOUR IDEA!!!! I don’t know why he is NEVER EVER NEVER EVER happy to do something for me whether it costs money or not. I don’t know what is the big deal if we make somne changes in a spare room. I don’t know what makes him tick. Actually he has always been a very BORING and dull individual. Actually when he is with some of his friends he can loosen up a bit but it is rare. I get so tired of his sad face and no ambition and no drive and no hope and just being a big nothing. The only thing he wants to do is go to Florida and or the country in summer. That’s ok but what about in between and what about when we are in these places. I get so fed up!! I do a lot on my own or my own life would be boring as hell. I don’t mind doing things on my own BUT give me a break. Why can you NEVER be happy when I want to do something? What is wrong with you??? It’s better if I don’t go down this road because it’s a dead end but I do get upset and frustrated.
I won’t do anything till the spring anyways so we have plenty of time to think it over.
I remember for my sixtieth he gave me a card. I was afraid to open it as I didn’t want to get upset before we went to my party my friend was making. As it turned out it was a wonderful present. I still can’t believe he thought this computer was my present. My birthday isn’t till March. Gee if he had any life in him he would have the room ready for when I come back from Florida. I know he would say that he would want my input. I know he’s right in a way but he could always check with another artist. He could always ask one of my sons to look after it. I guess I am expecting way too much.
Just like he likes to change cars every five years. This year I told him no way!! We wouldn’t get anything for my car so it just wasn’t worth it and definitely not necessary.
My hubby had his ninth treatment this morning. I think he is finally starting to feel some side effects. He says he has GAS and is more tired than usual. This morning he had an appointment with a dietician who gave him a diet in case he gets diarrhea. I think we are lulled into thinking everything will go well but now I hink we are both getting a little nervous.
Tomorrow I have an appointment with an art gallery. I hope she doesn’t disappoint me because she wants me to call first. I am trying to decide what to show her. I have about five paper tole pictures and about eight paintings. I will make the final decision tomorrow morning. I think the less I take the better.
Listening to a Christmas show. I am also working on a GREEN egg – actually it’s a white egg but I am only putting on green stuff.
Night.

We “do this to our kids” because we want to be free. The goal of Muslims is to kill us all — people have to realize that. They won’t stop unless we stop them.
