mezzo mezzo

so it's taking a little time to adjust to life in a city that's not under attack. it's only been a day, so i'm still half in the hatch at camp katyusha and half in this boiling oklahoma summer. i walked into target yesterday and at the particular moment that i walked in, the store looked deserted. my first thought was, "no one's going out because of the rockets..." just for a second i forgot that there were no rockets in oklahoma. occasionally there are sounds outside, like an engine roaring or some machinery being used, that resemble the very beginning of the rocket warning sirens that go off in haifa.. for a second i brace myself and think, "oh no."

aliyah's also a bit confused, but not in any way related to the attacks.
today she saw a white boxy post office truck drive down the street and she started yelling to me, "sherut! sherut!" :o)

it's nice to be here though.... last night was the first night in about a week that i slept so well... not wondering if sirens would go off and that i'd miss hearing them. today as i was doing my eyebrows i couldn't believe how out shape they were.... until i realzed that today was the first day in a week that I was looking at myself with daylight...
