1. The dentist I went to (I won't call her 'my dentist' because I never had her before.) today told me that I need to take out a tooth and get an implant. Crap! I'm getting a second opinion.
2. I had my teeth cleaned. A horrible experience.
3. On the way to Pilates this morning, I got stuck in the worst case of traffic. As a result I got to listen to lots of techno/dance type songs from the 90's on the radio (Gagalatz) which put me in a flighty mood. I was happy although I was 20 minutes late.
3. My mother-in-law came from Jerusalem to keep me company and we had lunch together before we returned home to relieve my nanny. Over lunch she told me about how most of her friends are sick with all kinds of different health issues.
4. Liam still cried for a few minutes before falling asleep for naps from my de-Ferberization blunder. I felt awful that I wasn't supposed to go in to pick him up and I felt like a failure of a parent.
5. Got a call from my agency for an assignment but had to refuse it because of time conflict. I hate that because I don't have anything solid until March when I start working for the opera. I really need to start working more.
6. Afternoon was spent doing busy work around the apartment while my mother-in-law played with Liam.
7. Over some fruit tea, I spoke to my mother-in-law about how I feel about living in Israel. It was the first time I ever told her honestly about how unhappy I am here. Then she told me I should have known when I married a redheaded Jewish man that this was expected of my life that I live in Israel. I could see that she was afraid that we might leave. She doesn't know that David has a job offer in Korea. I wanted to tell her that David could also have taken into consideration that he couldn't just insist on (of which he doesn't. He just wants it very much.) his own ideology when he married a woman who wasn't Jewish and who is Korean. But I didn't do that because she's an old lady and she's mostly so nice and she came to visit me all the way from Jerusalem on an inter-city bus. I just told her that I knew what she meant and that's the reason why I took all this on. Then she understood me.
8. Earlier on I stopped by the beach before I went to pick up my mother-in-law at the bus station. The sea was the most beautiful kind of blues meshed together. Yes, I live in a beautiful city. For that, I am grateful.
