Yesterday was September 25. Last year on September 25 was the first time we ever heard the words Ocular Albinism. Last year on this day we took Yon to our first regular eye checkup in London, like we did every three month wherever we lived, and after about 5 hours of tests and waiting got to a doctor who said "I think there is more to it than that". September 25 2012 will forever be the day we embarked...

Why life is like baking
Life is like a box of chocolates. I don't think there is anyone alive who doesn't know this phrase, and when I started to write this post this is what jumped to my mind, but the truth is (and with the risk of alienating a few of my approximately ten readers) I hated the movie, and I find this phrase insulting to all chocolate. Life really isn't anything like a box of chocolates. Mainly because...

On being left behind
We are going through some things this past few weeks. It is one of those times when you have things bothering you that you can't really blog about, for various reasons, mainly because after all is said and done, a blog is a public space and not everything is for sharing, and not everything is for sharing at this particular moment. But these things happening caused me to be stressed, and as a result...

tiredness and inspirations
It's been a heck of a few weeks here at Orli-land. Not all of the reasons why are blogable, and not all of them are related to the fact that my parents are here (who, just because some people weren't clear about it - pre-approved the post I wrote about them. In fact, not only did they found it funny, but they informed me that I left out some of their more "colourful" behaviour. Yes, making fun of...

Family visits - oh no they're here again...
"What time is it?", "When did they say the will get here?", "What's their flight number again? What do you mean they didn't give us the flight number? Why are they so irresponsible?", "Did they call already to let us know they landed?". You would think we were talking about teenagers on their first flight alone somewhere, but you'd be wrong. Dead wrong. We were talking about my parents, who visit...

The left side of the road
Today was Ron's first day at school. He started year 4, so it wasn't supposed to be a big deal. It is, after all his fifth "first day of school" and with 5 "first day at nursery" before that, you would expect it to be easy by now. And for him, it is. It's his second year in this school, he knows the kids, the teachers, the lay of the land. He was very excited and nervous and happy to go back to...
Dreadful Days - 06/09/13
Sorry I am a bit late. I was supposed to open the linky at the first of September, but with it being the start of the school year and everyone excited and happy, I thought there is no place for the less good side of things. Then my parents arrived for the whole month, and I thought I don't have time to do the linky. But I guess the real reason was that I thought no one will come and I will just embarrass...

How do you take the microscope away?
Yon hates haircuts. I don't know if it is related to his vision problems or not, but it doesn't really matter, does it? A lot of the things Yon does are a sign for his vision problem if you are looking for that, or a sign of autism if you are looking for that, or a sign of asperger if you are looking for that. If you keep looking at him, in every single day you will go through all those diagnosis,...

Happy (Jewish) new year
Ever had a holiday that baffled you? That you just couldn't decide how you feel about? Do you like it? Do you hate it? Do you want to celebrate it? Do you just want to ignore it? This is the problem I have with Rosh Hashanah, (Jewish New Year for all my non Jewish readers). Every year it is the same, except it is getting worse. September arrives and I feel lost, and am left with one nagging question...
