Not to have felt pain is not to have been human.

Hi! Shabbat Shalom! :D Well, this quote is a Jewish proverb. I'm still sick. :'( It's funny though when I have a fever, because my head is burning up, but the rest of my body is freezing! Also, I feel like my head is floating and being pressurized. I looked up stuff about concussions, and if I have one it's extremely mild. All, I have in common is the nausea and dizziness. They said that usually people need to see a doctor when you have blurry vision, amnesia, been puking a lot, faint a lot, etc. Usually people have to just relax and rest until it's better if it's mild. It's just taking a while! It was disturbing that my mom and I were both not up for going to a Hadassah meeting recently. I usually have to be there, because I'm the Secretary. I'm sure they'll get along without me, but I feel bad that I couldn't do my job! >.<

I read more Naruto. I love Gama bunta! He's hilarious! Saying things like why's a punk on my head? He's the "boss toad" of the toads that can be summoned. And Naruto accidentally summoned it. Every time I hear about Gaara's past I feel even more sorry for him. :(

I watched more of Nabari no Ou. I like Thobie's (I think that's how it's spelled- their teacher) roommate Hana. She's great! Miharu was going to shake hands with Yoite, and Yoite was hesitating. Hana jumped in grabbed their hands and made them shake. She's so nice, it's creepy.

I guess I can tell people this. My dad is transgendered. He told me several months ago. I kind of had been suspecting he was "different" but wasn't sure. He's been dressing up as a woman, getting electrolysis done on his face, and taking hormones all in a very short time. He's even come up with another name: Jill instead of John. It also seems to be the only thing he can talk about lately. I'm ok with it, but it sometimes gets to be too much. :P He's part of a community in Seattle with other people like him, so that's kind of nice. He can make friends with people who truly "understand". He's seeing a Gyneocologist for the hormones. I almost had the same guy, which kind of would had been odd to me. It's also funny that before he told me he was always tense around me, and yelling, etc. Now, that he's told me, he seems nicer and more carefree. A lot easier to deal with too. So, we have a transgendered person, a person with cancer, and a person with Bipolar disorder. Funny combo!

Tonight my mom made trout with an onion and oil sauce. With some Bok Choy. And finally some Garlic and Basil Polenta. It was awesome! And of course, we had some Challah. :D My dad drank all of the rest of the Grape juice, so we had to have old sparkling apple cider. It was flat but ok. For dessert we had some almond ring cake, very nice! Although, I would have liked chocolate, but that was ok too. Also, we didn't have anymore Shabbat candles, so we had to make do with long tapered candles. It was just a little different tonight, but it makes it exciting. We even had a hole in the Challah. Tasha's so cute! She loves to watch us come up the stairs from the landing. She almost looked like she was going to fall over.
