Stress

1- Worry over our troops in Gaza (but also relief and pride that, when attacked, our people have the means and the will to protect ourselves).

2- Worry over Sparky, who, for reasons too complicated to explain here, could really use a new place to live for the next couple of weeks -- a place that would allow her to continue attending her regular school (not in Jerusalem).

3- Overwhelmed-ness over all the things I have to finish RIGHT NOW. Cannot break the laws of physics to do them all at the same time. Urrrrrrrgh.
