Because I cant sleep.  It has to be a combination of anxiety and sleep apnea.  I wake up not feeling right.  FUCKING SUCKS.  All these thoughts keeping me awake.  It is 12:30 am and I feel wide awake. UGH!!! Annoying.

Again!  G-d I am loving Thursdays!!!!

Just way cool!!

Tonites movies were:

Man with the Golden Gun
For Your Eyes Only
A View to a Kill
License to Kill

I think Timothy Dalton is way underrated as Bond.  He was a good response to the Moore character.  Dalton was more brooding, negative and aggressive compared to the Moore character who was a more pleasure loving, near narcissistic and much more of the playboy (he fit in well in the 70s).

WHOOO!!

The only bummer part about this - is that I fucking have to pay my taxes - I actually have to do my taxes!  BUT, since I know I owe, I am going to wait until the last minute before I do them!  I will be lucky...LUCKY if I get out just owing about 1500!  DAMN GOVERNMENT!!!!

That is how I feel.  Just so beat!  Between stress, anxiety attacks, instability at work....yet swamped at the same time I just feel like I want to sleep and sleep and sleep. I come home...rest a bit...I know I need to clean my house up...I just don't have the energy.  I haven't even been able to work on the aliyah.   At least every day I have focused on getting at least one substantive thing done in the house.   I am glad this week is almost over. 

There has been some good and some bad.  Hopefully the worst is over!

It is another slow day at work....which is good for a monday!

I have most of everything done...it's good to start a Monday so caught up!   And getting the necessary things done so early in the morning so I can catch up on some other issues.

Now that the near lawsuit against Nova Roma is resolved I can refocus on the aliyah.  Basically what happened was that I was tossed out of the Board of Directors/Senate list, illegally.  I decided it was total bullshit so instead of going through NR's administrative resolution process I decided to fuck it and us a system that had TEETH, thus I consulted my attorney to send NR a demand letter demanding an apology and immediate reinstatement.  After an initial rejection I said thank you consider yourself sued.  Spoke to my attorney and we began research on filing a lawsuit against the corporation AND INDIVIDUAL BOARD MEMBERS.  At that point NR realized, oh shit - he is serious, and well the Censors decided to diffuse the crises by reinstating me. So, here I am back in the Board of Directors of Nova Roma.

Now that issue is behind me, I can refocus on the aliyah.  I have to contact the cemetary where my grandmother will be buried get some documentation about that and proof that the cemetary only accepts Jews and then I can fax that to the Jewish Agency - and then they will be able to give me their approval and Tikva number (I believe that is what it is called).  Then I can move forward with Nefesh B'Nefish. 

I am hoping that by the end of this month I might be able to put the house up for sale.  I wanted to do it by the end of last month but it was just impossible.  And the market absolutely SUCKS donkey balls to sell a house in this market, but I am hoping by December or so the market might start to recover.  I expect it will take a good 6-9 months to sell the house - in the mean time I will just go on with my plans - pay off the credit cards - pay off the car as much as I can....and get more boxes and crap for moving.  I think as I do it all slowly...I can get it all done.   I know I will need a HUGE amount of power converters for Israel....like at least 10-15 of them.

Well that is my life for now.  Things are moving slowly.  The other main thing is making sure I keep a US phone number for my students.  Then I can keep the teaching job - since it is a requirement.  

In April I am totally dumping T-Mobile - after that 2 thousand dollar phone bill during the Vacation to Israel...there is NO WAY IN HELL I will be staying with them.  Fuck that!   And, I do not really want to get involved in a major contract - so who knows what will happen at this point.

The surgery went well.  She said it was long and I can imagine it was painful.  But her family and bf took good care of her.   She said she is satisfied!  Which is WONDERFUL news.  Hopefully we will have some pictures pretty soon once the inevitable swelling and bruising diminishes.

1 nice news probably I missed something, but why she did this surgery? She had some healthy problems?

Posted by: Luc at March 09, 2009 05:11 AM (TmxXe)

2 She went through it to improve the breathing channels for lack of a better word...and basically while they had her there...she wanted to make some improvements.  This sucks how I explain it....but I don't have access to the email she sent.  I just remember her telling me not to criticize her, because everyone close to her has tried to talk her out of it.  I, of course, wouldn't have, well not really.  I just wanted it to be successful and wanted her to be pleased of the results.   Which seems to be the case.   I JUST WANT PHOTOS!

Posted by: Robert Woolwine at March 09, 2009 07:21 AM (V+ylD)

3 thanks for the explanation Robert hope to see some photos soon

Posted by: Luc at March 09, 2009 11:46 AM (nh5yT)

4 NP I already told her we want pics!   And in hopefully next week I will call her to see how she is doing as well.
