I have to say, yesterday I was going to make an actual positive post, which like - everything is relative, but it had points going for in that: (1) no sirens in Tel Aviv for more than 24 hours (since then: more than 48 even), and more importantly (2) my sister spent the weekend in a base much closer to home and we visited her for 3 hours and it was great. She was good, she gave us a lot of much more concrete information about what she was doing and where she was that she couldn't over the phone, and just having that info helps alleviate some of the worry which is based on a lot of uncertainty. She was in pretty good spirits, seeing her reminded me she's a strong girl, it was excellent.
Anyway, I was too tired to type anything up by the time I got home, and really wanted to deal with nothing but fun tidbits of canon trickling in from the Blackhawks Convention in Chicago, and fell asleep way earlier than I'd intended, and the next thing I know today happened and work was KIND OF OKAY and then everything on the news turned to shit again.
I am once again too tired to post in actual detail but I figured, at least let y'all know that my sister, as for yesterday, was good, since I've been keeping a lot of you worried along with myself and I owe you that, and that this evening was incredibly hard for Israelis watching the news, and that aside from that, being on Facebook and having political conversations with people these days is extremely disheartening at best and sickening at worst and really just awful. So - this is just to say, I am aware of that. At some point I might reach a boiling point when I actually vent about this for real without being so vague, but similar to past posts I've made recently, it's almost 2AM and I have zero energy. My timing could be better.
Things that bring a smile to my face, in the meantime: Brooklyn Nine-Nine. I have 3 eps left and I wish I had a repository of five more seasons because that would have been awesome. I am enjoying this show a lot.
