40+ and swimming

yesterday was a really, really long day. i'm still not feeling so great; apparently six hours of sleep for over forty missed isn't quite enough :P

i spent most of yesterday staring hopelessly at my screen. i got a couple of phone calls - one from my ex-neighbour's friend and one from spinnit (like, "spin-it", the girl from monday's date). i wasn't really in a good state to be talking on the phone...

during the last couple of weeks it was announced that my TL would be replaced in the near future. i got all excited because i've been in this team since february / march and miserable since i got there - now he's going to be TL of my previous team and someone else (a definite improvement) will be replacing him!

our SC came over to happily inform me that i'll be moving back with him.
i can't win :'(

it was nystire's 30th birthday, and the day began with cake and us making "over the hill" jokes. when i got back to tel aviv, i rushed off to secure a part of his gift - of course they hadn't prepared the order like i'd asked - and then came back home to switch into civvies and bus to his place for a surprise party.

it was nice to see his family again - they're all a bit crazy and loads of fun, but i was completely trashed and when his sister needed to head off to tel aviv i joined her. i chatted with my mum, talked quickly with spinnit*, ate a sandwich and then crashed.

* i don't know if i'm supposed to be playing a push/pull game when everything seems great, but it's to early to tell and i'm worried about screwing things up for either of us by getting too excited :/

i just found out that my usual ride's not available - getting to base is going to be hell :(
