Holi-done Finally

Hello Everyone:

I’m a little less unhappy today. I spent most of my afternoon hiding in my room, reading and catching    up on some podcasts. I wasn’t in much of a mood to blog so I just let it go for the day. Mum is still carrying about how ungrateful I am but, really, she has no clue about what’s making me sad. I’m going no to make her guess—I don’t play that game—I just don’t feel comfortable talking to her. I enjoyed my writing day off. I read and got caught up on some news. Most of the news is same old, same old good, bad, and indifferent stuff. In other words, the usual. Tomorrow, it is back to the usual routine. I will admit one thing about the Jewish holidays, now that they’re almost over, they do get me out of my usual routine. That’s a good thing because then I can go back to it with a freshness. It keeps things from getting stale. I will also admit that I do try to work around the erratic schedule and slight chaos that comes with the holidays. I can manage to a point. After that I just let it go and not worry. Big step from years past when I’d be so preoccupied with clean up that couldn’t make any effort to enjoy myself. I still worry about silly stuff like doing the dishes but not so much. Mostly, I just try to stay in the moment. Anyway, the next major Jewish holiday isn’t until Passover and I have plenty of time to practice avoiding it. There are smaller holidays in between and the minion’s bar mitzva. All manageable.
