No Stress Holiday

Hello Everyone:

Sunday evening and time to chill. I had a nice Skype chat with the Brit BF today but otherwise it was pretty chill. It was one of those Sundays that just make you want to stay in bed for an extra few minutes, hours whatever. So excited that mom is finally going to Israel. I'm so looking forward to a two-and-half week vacation. Seventeen days of peace and quiet. I do have a tentative invitation to someone's house. That shouldn't be too bad.  I probably won't do Passover in any way that resembles the way mom does it-meaning cover and and lock up anything that isn't related to the holiday. I just can't deal with the fuss. It just seems like such a burden. I know it shouldn't be but it just feels like one. I mean it's one thing to clean the house, fine, I deal with that. However, Passover inspired such insanity that it's become so unappealing to me.  My thinking is why drive yourself insane over this. If the cleaning isn't insanity inducing, then it's food. Normally I don't care one or the other about food but Passover requires food items that don't have grain products in it. Some go as far as making sure their cosmetics and personal care items don't have grain products either. Too much. I have no idea why some people find all of this exciting, I don't. At least with mom gone for a short spell, I don't have to stress out over everything. Maybe I can actually enjoy Passover for a change.
