Long long day

My brother swore allegiance to the army today. My parents, my sister and I went to the ceremony. Problem - my brother's base is 4 hours drive from Holon. I got up at 5:30, managed to keep myself up and alert through helping my mom with the dogs, taking a quick shower and getting everything into bags and out of the house. Picked up Michali at about 7:30 and headed south. The scenery was absolutely amazing once we got south of Ashdod, and even more so when we got to the Ramon Crate. It was super cold, and even with two sweaters, a jacket, gloves and a scarf I was freezing. Most of the time we spent doing nothing (typical effectiveness of the IDF).

( what the ceremony reminded me )

We only got out of there at 16:00-ish. Udi came with us, so the car was very packed. I spent the beginning of the ride reading, but the light faded fast so I just went to sleep. Woke when we got into Be'er-Sheva. We stopped at the mall there to have something to eat (we had lots and lots of fats - at Burger-King...) I was freezing again so had no problem going back to sleep once we got back inside the car. Only woke up again when we got into Holon, though I was sleeping on and off, and got out of the car with a terrible back pain, due to all of the sitting, and the cramping situation inside the car.

I'm so going to sleep.
