21.45 and all's well ^_^

well. today has certainly been a long one.

woke up bright and early, got packed for the pool and dressed, and hit the morning traffic. handled quite well, methinks. got to my cousins' at a reasonable time, had coffee, and went off to the bank.

we spent an inordinate amount of time there, then went to the arena mall for coffee. then drove to afula... it really wasn't that complicated :) *very proud*

spent the day with my mom's cousins, one of whom i've never met before. never got around to swimming, but we visited the cemetary here, which proved quite emotional. i've learned a lot about the family today. we were joined in the evening by two more cousins, and have had a really nice supper together.

we're almost ready for the journey back, and we're both quite exhausted. but it has definitely been a good day.
