Okay, I haven’t blogged in six days. I have a very good reason of which some of you know. Meanwhile, I have some sort of chest cold which is keeping me down. I refuse to go to work tomorrow. I’m going to the doctor and staying home…to sleep mostly and hopefully get some work done. I am behind on grad school work though I finished my 100-page reading in 30 minutes today. I’m skipping my Tuesday class that meets only three times and making it up next week when my chest doesn’t feel like it will explode.

In other news, I am trying to spread my good fortune and play matchmaker to my adorable friends. No names because I don’t want to die but we’ll see how things turn out.

Since I’m behind on grading (because grades were due Monday) and my boring grad school final projects (due next, next week), I really have to get my act together tomorrow while on whatever meds the doctors give me.

While I’ve been doing well memorizing the blessings, I have been enticed away from shul by Devora and the Washington Heights folks. Davening is at an all-time low. I should go to Mt. Sinai but I’m afraid of going all by myself when I’m up there. When I go to KJ, I get to go to a beginner’s service where things are explained and I feel “safe.” I’ve been trying to get myself to go to Saturday at KJ and Friday at Washington Heights but I’m so exhausted by the end of the week lately that I don’t feel like riding the train down. I need to get my act together on my booklist. The latest read is “Kashrut,” but it’s not a fun read. I’m going to have to start taking notes to stay awake.
