My left eye is still not working.  my cataract guy is coming back in two weeks and i’m okay except i’m not getting these invitations out.  maybe all I need is a vacation. or a climate change.

but there is so much to do I’m not paying attention to the fact that the whole Gaza strip (our side) has been under lockdown for days and they’re not saying when the end will be.  This is either signalling some operation on our part or a big scale attack on their part.  It’s a very iffy time, and I’m worried about my fonts.

It’s not surprising that I can’t concentrate on anything in this heat – no one can.  I can’t tell you how many times waiters have messed up my orders, how many times my friends complained I missed our engagement when they were the ones who messed up the dates half the time.
