exhausted end

i woke up yesterday after about six hours' sleep, and did some shopping. i met up with egg on the beach, and after chilling a bit we went for a drink at havana - due to which i was a tad late to meet with the kid's father.

with a bit of alcohol and his habit of speaking really good hebrew (and technical), i struggled a bit as he explained a whole bunch of things to me about buying apartments in israel. on the whole, he gave me a good feeling about my enthusiasm concerning the one i'm interested in, and he explained to me exactly what i need to double check before drawing up a contract.

the interesting edification: a lot of apartments in israel (in tel aviv in particular) aren't sectioned correctly, which means that you can't get a mortgage for them. and you can't apply for the mortgage without a contract, and you can't get the contract without becoming obligated to the real estate agent.

damn.

he gave me a ride to the bus station, and i caught the last bus to ra'anana. dinner at SxS's was great, but after the oh-so-decadent meringue and mousse dessert, i was struck with sudden exhaustion. we went to visit our friends in pituach, and i couldn't keep my eyes open - one of ze germans (with his wife and newborn) gave me a ride home, and i just crashed.

today was cleaning day, and it's been a while so it was hard work. i didn't know what to do with my television (our flatmate brought in a new, much larger one) so the kid and i hooked it up on the stand above my door.

i'm terrified that it's gonna fall down. it's held up (in my opinion precariously) by one strap.

i've connected my playstation, with the controls now sitting beneath my keyboard - i've never had a playstation in my bedroom before! i'm probably gonna have my life eaten away by final fantasy viii again.

i walked to singer's to help her throw out her new bed and reconstruct her old one. i'm very proud of myself for not sleeping with her. even though i really wanted to.

i made rice today... well, i had training wheels on in the form of our neighbour. i mean, okay, i witnessed it all and i did physically *do* everything myself, but i still lack confidence and i don't understand everything.

swak.

we ate too much and watched three more episodes of the unit - i've called two episodes from the start, but it's enjoyable even if it is predictable.

now to go out for drinks. i can't believe tomorrow's a work-day! oh, well. it was a great holiday :)
