Begining projects in sherut leumi

Sherut leumi is starting to come together much better this past week. Actually, I've only felt kind of good about things this past evening. Like after eight thirty.

My recent sherut leumi experience was getting lice from some kid in gan (kindergarten). I'm in four different ganim during the week. I guess I was supposed to be more careful around the kids but I didn't realize that they would have lice. I mean, they all look so clean I think. Well, my head was so clean last week, and I found myself just itching away. So I went to look in the mirror and as hard as it is to believe, I actually saw two nits in my hair! That was Thursday night. I sent a text message to my rakezet about it and the next morning when I spoke to her she asked the neighbor if I could borrow a lice comb from them so that I could comb my hair out. I went over to the neighbors and they were so nice they even sent me home with a bottle of lice killing hair stuff, and my choice of two lice combs. Lucky me I got to stay home from gan that day to take care of my head. I finally got all those bugs out!!! It felt so good to have a clean head again. I think I reclaimed my head.
I looked up the whole lice issue on the web and it turns out that it's not nearly as big a deal as everyone makes it. I'll be combing my hair well for the next two weeks and then I'm going to ask someone to check and see that I'm fine. I'm also going to do the lice killing treatment in a week.
Anyway, I'm working on a bunch of projects here in Tzur Hadassah, one of them is a "girls' night" once a week. Tomorrow is going to be the first time.
Wish me luck! I better get my sleep, too.
I have a few more things going on with sherut leumi which I'll have to write about a different time.
