update

it seems so natural to me that the mouse must have been a she, while the spider is certainly a he.

i wonder...

....where that huge spider went (a round, plum body, add some hairy legs to that) after i decided not to chase him out of my house yesterday night, since i was in a rush?

i can't seem to find him in the corner where i thought he would hang out. (my spider theory is falling apart)

dear mr spider, i don't mind sharing the house, just please let me have the bed???!!!

update-mouse story

didn't become an early eve as planned, but got an emergency call to go mouse hunting.
kept banging and searching under the fridge, but of course they are clever and silent when being scared. so, when i started to believe she wasn't in there, and to give up the hunt, i saw her.

we tried to sweep her out of the front door, instead she fled into the bathroom, and of course i couldn't find her in there afterwards. we called in for amit (the shopping assistant, now not only), who is simply AMAZING,
since he caught her with his bare hands!!!!!

we put her in a towel and brought her to the forest.

nighty night

and so...

back in the studio, back in this crazy country.

a few things worth mentioning:

*i have ants in my fridge, and flour bugs (?) in the cupboard. well, most of them went with the flour to the compost.

*my french paranoid/neurotic friend had a mouse in her bed, and panicked!!! called the whole kibbutz, didn't find anything...

*i had a soft landing, sort of, did another trip of in total six hours (with the mandatory traffic jam) back and forth to t. aviv. to avoid the worst traffic, payed a visit to ikea, just to feel that im almost still over there. i got plenty of malaco fishes, and pepparkakor, some pickled cucumbers and marabou...

time to go to bed, after having rearranged my livingroom, and had a sort of normal 'after work' eve.

kiev 22.34

oyvavoy....
i first spent about an hour in the passport control, speaking to a swede who explained me that this is ukraine.....
then, after such a long security check (the dude has now seen all my vacation photos aswell as spoken to my boss-all to make sure im not about to commit any crime),
the woman in the check in counter thought i was from ukraine (without me knowing) and kept searching for a visa which was not yet expired. until the security dude told her what i already kept trying, that i am from the european union, and that i DO NOT need a visa to enter into IL.


ah...

but still, i have enough time to kill to internet at the gate.
and to say that of course, i already miss you all.
those farewells, they get a bit harder each time, i feel.

kisses and love

well, after many phone calls, a few arguments, my brain using some simple logic,
my ticket is back to when i booked it.

problem not solved,
but at least my vacation is saved,
with dignity!

but still...

*thanks to mr c/the photographer for the lovely morning+picture* and this is how beautiful the women of österby are* dad cutting the grass* a heritage from my mum?
* cardamom coffee in the finjan/dallah/ibrik*

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

and todays surprise (after lovely morning with mini roadtrip in great company),
the company had the guts to change my ticket, without even consulting with me before.
so did my travel agent! can you believe that???!!!!!!!!!

i am so upset. i didn't know i could get like this,
already barked/screamed at 2,5 people via the phone in less than an hour.
now, im slightly sweaty and exhausted!!!



and mr octopus, thank you for being mr fix it! xxx

conflict

my work is asking me to return from my vacation earlier, cause they didn's sort out their buisiness (working permits etc.) on time. again.

i couldn't sleep for hours yesterday, turning around in rage, writing imaginary letters in my mind.
now, tonight, with the help of findus, who is always amazing with these kinda bureaucratic letters, i wrote a very clear-here goes my boarder-letter. spiced with a little bit of anger. a little bit of dignity. and a little bit of good will ('let us find another solution' ) baha.

and now, im too much of a pussy to send it...

update: 23.Xx h, of it went. i sent it! phew....
