WOE IS ME!

I simply had to turn off the captivating Cajun music I was listening to, to compose a letter to my landlord - in Hebrew. Always takes me a while to get started if I have to write in Hebrew, even tho I've been living in Israel for 23 years and my Hebrew is good.

So this letter has to get written, and I'm writing this to my blog in the hopes that I will be duly inspired to keep it powerful and effective, yet short. Seems the slime is billing me for repairs that I'm not responsible. He's mad at me for hanging up on him when I called him and complained about all the dirt the Arabs doing shiputzim were leaving on the sidewalk in front of my door.

Now the question is, should I bring up the issue of employing our Arab enemies, and how I'm a woman living alone here, and how I have no defense against them, and how it doesn't bother him to endanger my life and the lives of everybody around here just to save a few shekels. I don't know if I should even bring this up, as I may technically not have a legal leg to stand on...
As the late, great Rabbi Meir Kahane HY"D said, the greedy Jewish boss would rather hire two Arabs for the price of one Jew.... and Izzy Danzinger (of Mishmeret Yesha) said he doesn't speak to neighbors of his who hire Arabs to do work. "Anyone who endangers my life just to save a few bucks, is no friend of mine". Right on, Izzy.

So you see, reader (I don't know if you qualify for being called "Dear" reader or not!), this blog can be about serious stuff, too.

I was home sick today and could have done this letter a lot earlier. Ah, the joys of procrastination..... and the problems it creates.

I guess one reason I didn't get to this task earlier, is that all day I've been more or less involved in the problems of other people. Trying to keep a prisoner's pregnant wife and 3 little kids from getting evicted.... keeping in touch with my friend whose mother's in the hospital, which is making her a basket case.... Having trouble with Fedex making a delivery of a needed product to my house instead of my workplace, since I was unexpectedly home today.... a problem with a prissy Brit who makes the stuff I need to receive tomorrow....etc. etc.

But sometimes ya gotta just do nothing. "La dolce farniente" - Sweet nothing to do.... and here it is a week and a half till Pesach!

I think whenever I write e-mails from now on, I'm going to sign off with the URL of this blog, so people can comment.

One day I'll add photos, etc. Who knows? Right now it's an emotional outlet for me, when there's nobody around who is an able or willing receptacle for my thoughts/views/feelings.

Back later.....
