mommy returns

shouldn't have paid for the taxi to the station - i still managed to miss my train :(

i almost didn't recognize my mum, her hair's grown a bit. we took the packed train to tel aviv, had a pleasant walk to pick up the car, and then drove through to herzeliya. we spent a nice afternoon catching up with her grandparents, napped, and then went for a walk on the beach, stopping at the arena for beers before heading back.

what's really great is talking to her about all the things that aren't important or relevant, we never really do that on the phone. whole tangents of arbitrary discussion with her are so much fun!

i dropped her off, spoke to vision for a couple of minutes, then drove back, still chilled. what stressed me out was trying to find parking in tel aviv. all the prices for the lots have gone up. i found one close by that's not charging now, but i have to collect before 6.30am.
not just that, but i tried to park in a tight spot and i misjudged the turning circle... it doesn't matter that there's no damage, the fact that *i* know that i touched him pissed me right off.

now i've had something to eat, i think we're off to play some pool. or i'm just going to give up on the night and crash.
