If God rested on the 7th day, I can rest on the 6th!

6 days to go! In one week I'll be IN Abu Dhabi!!!!  

But today, REST. 

By the time I was alone and home and done last night it was 9 and while I was amazingly exhausted, I felt so relieved to have absolutely NO commitments until Saturday.

Letting go of the leftover things is HARD! I keep having to remind myself that if I had to leave tomorrow, I'd be just fine. I have a slight [read: sarcasm] tendency to expect more from myself than is reasonable, and I may have been known to work myself into a frenzy over things than are not as essential in real life as they are in my head.


So today I may not get off this couch at all! I may just watch 4 more episodes of Law & Order, drink tea, doze off, possibly take a shower. I may take a nap or go to the pool. Later I will go to dinner with a friend, but I may be in my pajamas until that happens!

What have I done? #Homesick #Lonely

It finally hit. I have literally  moved to the other side of the world.  Both this and yesterday mornings I awakened after a fantastic night's sleep and cried when I realized I am still here. In my apartment-that-feels-like-a-hotel-room-still. Cold marble floors. Echo-y 10 foot ceilings. It is SO hot. I knew this going in, and is exactly how I expected it. Maybe I was hoping I was wrong. I miss being outside all the time in Boise. I'm suddenly wishing I had spent way more time in the mountains this summer. I am SO cold. Just like Texas, they haven't figured out that when it's 114 outside, the A/C set to 80 would be sufficient. Every inside venue is freezing cold. I am lonely. My coworkers are really nice and kind but that doesn't seem to matter. There is nothing to do except be in a mall. I joined the wrong gym in my impulsiveness to get settled. And it's in a mall. My apartment is only on the 3rd floor and overlooks...a mall. I have no wifi. Ev

Tow Truck Troubles in Tel Aviv

This is the tow truck driver. But we'll get to why he's headlining this post a bit later. Please play a little Willie while you read on. While I was in Jerusalem last Saturday night my car started sputtering--that kind that happens before you run out of gas, but this time I was NOT running out of gas (it may have happened to me a few times before 😏). I was able to make it to the parking garage near the Old City and went about the business of an outing in Jerusalem.  Thinking that maybe I was out of oil, I stopped on the outskirts of town to check the fluids, which were fine. I prayed the entire drive back to Tel Aviv (about an hour on Shabbat with minimal traffic). It was 10:30 p.m. and really cold. Although I felt safe--Israeli's are very helpful when you are in trouble, I could just foresee the hassle of breaking down on the highway, having to navigate the towing company from Tel Aviv...blah, blah, blah. I made it back to my street by the grace of God and even got a park
