ARGH!

Ok, I'm pissed.

I just had this beautiful blog entry I'd been working on and Google freaking deleted it. Looks like you're just getting highlights, cause I need to catch up on life since the hike.

Wednesday - New volunteer. Stephen. He's 60 years old and nice but pretty annoying. He's very well traveled and wants you to know all the negative things about the world. Except for Hungary. He's Hungarian and he loves Hungary. He never stops talking about it and sometimes I want to punch him in the face. He's not staying in our cabin, which is good since he is anal about cleanliness and we basically live in filth.

Thursday - Guri (the dog) eats a kitten. Ok, he didn't exactly eat it. He broke its back. It was really traumatizing and our neighbor Avi had to come over and drown it.

Friday - I cleaned the travelers lounge of all its cobwebs and dog hair, and organized the brochures. Ziv helped and I was actually able to communicate with her, which was cool. The cleanliness lasted about an afternoon, until Guri moved back in and now there is dog hair everywhere again. Sigh.

Saturday - Strawberry gutters fall down. We spend a lot of time putting them back up so that we can plant on Sunday.

Sunday - Everybody goes to plant the 4000 strawberries at 6 am. Everyone except me. I have a short stomach virus and stay upstairs puking my guts out all morning. On the up side I got to sleep in, on the down side......you get the picture.

Monday - Planting continues. I participate this time. I also do laundry for the first time since Haifa. Clean underwear is wonderful, and well worth the pain in the butt that doing laundry here is. I swear, with four kids and a lodge full of linens, its worse than trying to do laundry at school.

Now I am in Jerusalem til Friday, and its awesome. More on that to come soon.
