eyes clearing
eyes clearing
at least that's how I feel
much better
than last night
but when my neighbor
knocked on the door
and I opened it
he looked scared
didn't realize
I looked so awful
but the nurse in the clinic
also looked worried
even my husband,
who notices nothing
but my spelling mistakes
asked if I was getting medicine
swelling's down
puss less
than before
skin horrid
when can I
put on cream?
now, just
dark glasses
neighbor-healer
recommends
chamomile,
not black tea
dipping cotton balls
nurse reminded me
wipe from outer to inner
cleaner to pussier
it wasn't a very good idea
yesterday
to swim with only
one clean eye
the chlorine and salt
don't cure eye infections
next time
new mistakes

did it, but now...
a friend did a favor
and installed my counter/tracker
chose one hard to read
so,
believe it or not
I
all alone
managed to change it
but
now I know the truth
hardly anyone ever drops by

hanging, it's tough
tough hanging wash out
through the succa
usaully
my favorite household chore
now I must open the rickety
hinged walls
leaning out and
sideways
short arms
a disadvantage
sun beating
hot on my head
no schach yet
but
with schach
no laundry
beat the clock
take advantage of the sun
start the chag
with empty hampers
no laundry
until the schach
and walls
are packed away
except.....
when soldiers come
with their smelly, sweaty,
mud and
oil-stained uniforms
send them back
clean and full
of imma's cooking
but still, it's even harder
to reach for the dry
pull it all in
sort
and away

Experimenting
I'm writing this long-distance. It's an experiment. I have an address I can use to add to the blog.
Let's see......
Let's see......
I definitely found a problem with posting from a distance. I must cancel my signature to hide my identity.
Learning keeps one young, and if the mind goes, one learns more each day, and since one also forgets more
then one must learn even more
and get younger and younger
my daughter enjoyed a trip on the train with my father
who admired the scenery
and the thrill of the train
as if it was the first time
he's generally pretty sharp,
but... just a little aneurysm, and...
he's not what he once was,
but I'm not either.....
ssssshhhhhhhhhh
don't tell anyone,
please...........
pouring
my eyes are pouring, pouring
red and pouring
infected
just finished a musing
sent it off
already some good words
and a spelling correction
this won't be sent off to a list
just out to cyberspace
to unknown eyes
not puss-filled, pouring like mine
clear-eyed
clear-headed
not me today
clouded and stormy

there's no bright red

guess it won't be so funny

getting old but still young enough
definitely getting old
more worry, my son's off to South America
I don't mind that people give me their seats on the bus, even a few Arabs have on the #6,
but today I was young enough to give a seat
to an old (much older than me) lady
with a cane
the bus, #18, filled up with very old people carrying very heavy bags
suddenly I was young.....
.....er than before

We now have a "counter," so I'll know if anyone actually visits. A good friend installed it; he says it's easy, but my eyes cross at all these codes.
It's early in the morning. I'm going to call my kids in the states. My son is going off to South America today. It's the post army whatever, and it makes me ill. I was more at ease when he was inspecting, or garbage--human garbage--collecting in Shechem. I like being in a small country. And my baby is now doing his army service in a similar place.
Life goes on. You can see that I'm tense; I'm typing pure prose.

Withdrawal, help!
Gevalt! this isn't as relaxing as freecell, what a game!
The vcr's broken and there's nothing on our tv--one and a half stations of boredom
not the time for needlepoint
should probably take a walk, walk off the icecoffee, large of course, I had with a friend, and walk off dinner, too much, though I proudly threw out some of the food
I promised duplicate pictures to a friend and they're sitting in the house already
hitched home tonight, seemed wasteful to wait for a bus
town was crowded, got nervous on the bus, began watching the people waiting to get on
happens infrequently, usually I can ignore terror
at the mammography, I asked the technician if she knew of the "joke" that's on the internet about how to "practice" before undergoing the exam, about practicing with a freezer door. She hadn't heard of it, so if anyone can send me a copy, please do via the "comments"

meeting
seemed strange,
hope not ominous to find that my friend and I could meet
between my routine mammography
and her follow-up hospital appointment
after her second masechtomy
joked about the fun of her being able to choose and change bust sizes,
like (l'havdil)
I change hats
off to heat up dinner.....

forget the numbers and just read
Now that I just burnt my breakfast, I know that this is the perfect substitute for the freecell, which is no longer on my computer.
I was totally addicted, but when my harddisk was replaced a few weeks ago, a few things never reappeared:
freecell and spell check!
Breakfast time......

This is more like a classic diary, unedited......
just strange to think that all sorts of strangers can read it
but who uses paper and pens any more?
for me unedited is new
my "real" blog is so carefully crafted
it's a challenge to just.......write.......
