Flixonase Aqueous Nasal Spray

It's been about 10 days - I'm sick with some kind of throat infection and I've been spending all my time at home. I've started taking antibiotics and some kind of spray (above mentioned), for now the fever is gone and only the nasty cough and flam have remained for me to cope with.
The positive part of the ordeal is that for the past week I've started translating for the job I took. I don't really agree with the enterprise since all we do is rip off different local sites, and they're not even paying that well... I guess I'll do it for a month, or until I have enough to buy a decent video card - I really want to play F.E.A.R.
Hapoel had a great game yesterday, beating by 12 a team from Belgrade. It feels like things are looking up for us underdogs. I even bought tickets for me and my sister to the Israeli final four. I do hope we get there because I hate scalping tickets.

Sometime life feels like a bad song

Since I can't link from the title - this one might be appropriate for this post.

On one hand, I don't like writing about really serious stuff that's going on with me, I guess I'm not really used yet to venting on-line. On the other hand, I do feel there's room for it - feeling like I'm sharing my troubles with people out there might be nice.

My mother has cancer. She discovered a lump about 8 years ago, was operated, and recovered. All was well, until about 2 years ago, when she started having back pains. Now – the cancer has spread around her back and onto her liver.

The hospital where she undergoes chemotherapy referred her and my dad to a psychologist, which after a couple of session with them decided she wants to talk to me too. Well, I’ve never seen a psychologist, and I was kind of intrigued at the prospect.

She is really nice, more then you’d expect is common of therapists (after all empathy should be implied, right?). When I talked to her, and especially when she talked, you could see how she felt from little facial expressions she’d make. For example, I could anticipate she might say something meaningful, because a second before she’d sort of wrinkle her nose. I really liked that. Let’s close the subject for now with that…

Oh, I have a job interview today. It’s just a part-time thing, translating Italian web-sites to Hebrew for a tourism site. I bet I can do it from home – and make my folks help me with some of it. I’d be nice having a second income – the lab just doesn’t quite support my lavish lifestyle...
