A cat squeezes through a crack made for a much thinner animal. She looks around at the dusty room and sighes.
A swish of the tail and a young woman stands in her place. nim looks tired and pale. Quickly to work (but not too quickly - some thing never change), the room and and cobwebbed multi-dimensional gate are dusted and cleaned. A modern white L-shaped sofa appears, upon which she collapses. A tired wave of the hand updates the writing on the walls:
1)I LIVE IN IRAN
2)I AM A TRANSLATOR/RESEARCHER BY PROFFESSION, WITH ASPIRATIONS TO BECOME A WRITER (update: 1 printed short story in a childrens Journal, 1 Children's Fantasy book at the publishers for editing)
3)I ADORE SF&F - ALTHOUGH I AM A BIT BEHIND THE TIMES - SEE (1)
4) I LOVE TRAVELING - BEEN TO THAILAND, ITALY AND AUSTRIA, AND DUBAI (but that doesn't count much, because there is little to see...)update: TURKEY, TUNESIA AND AUSTRIA (again, this time with mom)
5) I AM ADDICTED TO FANFICTION
Another wall is titled:
HEALTH AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS RATING SYSTEM
Overall Health:
0   (too sick for even the internet) - 10 (the best I ever was) - 20 (what I'm aiming for)
Headache and sinus pressure 
-10 (can't move head) - 0 (Why does my head feel so light?)
Emotional
0   (let me hide under the bed) - 10  (not well but having fun) - 20  (anti depressants? what are they?)
Sport
1 for every 10 minutes of light movement (like walking and dancing to music,) 2 for every 10 minutes of actual physio and sport
Sleep 
0 insomnia - 1 for every hour of sleep (previous night and in the afternoon)
Accomplishments
1 for small tasks (like, right now, unpacking books and clothes bit by bit, making phone calls), 2 for out door tasks, 5 for every 1 hour of actual professional work (writing and translating), 10 for traveling or visiting important places (because it also means good health and movement and being happy and excited)
FYI, I'm trying to reach an acceptable average of 12.

(Dec 1, 2011)
i got a car.
it went so smooth (though not fast, lots of waiting in the dealership) that i can't even claim too many points for it. partly, it's because kish is a free trade zone with a lot less regulations. so it is a practically new but second hand korean car, bigger and lower than i wanted, but it is my very first car. (i'm not counting the rusted metal heap dad bought from a friend and put in my name. nope nope nope). driving was scary though.
we're getting tested for wiimax conection tomorrow. let's see what happens.
overall health: 6
headache: -3
mood: 7 (electrician didn't show up AGAIN)
sleep: 5 
sport: 0
accomplishments: 15?
total: 30

mostly lazy day
(Nov 30, 2011)
kish is supposed to have heavy but very short rainshowers - about 15 to 30 mnutes. so why did it rain for 9 HOURS straight?
at least we found about the leak in the main bath...
again me sorting stuff that had been just stuffed into the wardrobes and drawers, mom sewing curtains, the electritian/maintenance guy NOT showing up because (we found out in the afternoon) he'd been up until o'dark in the morning to fix the neighbours sewer pipe. another shopping trip with a couple of nice bargain and MORE shoes for mom.
some work and more lazing around, dracula: dead and loving it for dinner. in memoriam, leslie nielsen. i still can't believe he died.
money came finally through to my account here to buy a car, and i'm actually SCARED. i mean, after the year i had buying a house is like, so we need this, the contract is like that payment is like that nice meeting you. but a car? i know NOTHING about cars, i even stopped driving after my wrist broke, and the contact i'd relyed upon to help me is out of town. HELP!
overall health: 7 - some coughing
headache: -2 - no pills during the day
mood: 7
sleep: 5 + 1, because the thunder woke me up at 3 and at 4 mom decided to cheeck the entire house
sport: 3 for mall walking (yes, i'm pathetic. but my leg muscles do hurt)
errands and chores: 5? it's a bit hard to judge
total: 26
average: 4,33333
should i worry?

(Nov 29, 2011)

headache: -3 needed a painkiller mid-day
mood: 7 some small and medium frustration, mostly because of the dial-up
sport: 0
sleep: 6? we both started reading and then it was midnight, also weird dreams. really weird
errands and chores: 15
total: 33
average: 5.5

Houston, we have the meaning of life
(Nov 28, 2011)
hoooooo
biiig shopping expedition with mom - material for curtains, bedcoveers and furniture covers for mom to make, hardware, plastic stuff, new bed for mom, lamp for mom's room, groceries, then again off in the afternoon. mom after a lifetime of hoarding and being economic, is finally getting used to coddle herself and bought various cremes, including one made of snake poison enzymes, which makes for much hilarity since "snake poison" is considered a cuss word in farsi <giggle>
overall health: 8
headache: -2
mood: 7 ... if i wasn't so tired, i would be giddy. I love it here <sniff>
sport: 0 (not including mmall waling, dragging bags and climbing stairs
sleep: a full 7 + 2 .....
accomplishments: lets take 20, arguing successfully witth mom included.
total: .................42
average:..............7
