Home Stretch

Hello Everyone:

The High Holler-days are heading into the final stretch.  Just a few more days and it's another one in the books.  Then there's about two months of no religious holidays until Chanukah.  In a way, I'm glad because these religious holidays can be so stressful and over wrought.  In another respect, I'm going to miss the quiet nights at home when mom stays over at sis's house.  That's usually the time I get my reading done and I can relax.  I won't miss the time spent with family because it just doesn't feel comfortable.  That's theone thing the bf and I differ on, family time.  He thrives on it and always seems to have a great time.  I, on the other hand, can do without it.  I can do without pretending to actually like family and their eccentricities.  It's not that I expect everyone to conform to some abnormally rigid standard of behavior but sometimes they come off as a little too strong for me. I don't pretend that I can single handiedly change any of the, I just wish they weren't so dogmatic in their beliefs.  Sis is the worst offender.  She seems to have internalized this holier-than-G-d attitude and expects the rest of the world to conform to her belief system.  Strange how some people can be.  Usually I ignore her ramblings but sometimes she just says things that are so incredibly outrageous that it's hard to imagine that a supposedly highly educated person said that.  Anyway, now that the big religious holidays are over until Passover, I don't have to spend too much time dealing with over wrought family celebrations.  Not that I do anyway.

In other news, one computer issue has been resolved.  I picked up a new charger for my laptop from the Apple Store.  Poor guys, they've been hit hard by iPhone 5 mania.  What an insane asylum.  The new charger feels like a part of the load has been lifted and I can move on with things.  Not thatbI've minded using my trusty iPad and I still want push that a little further.  However, each has it's limitations.  Now that one problem has been satisfactorily dealt on to the next thing.
