All you NABLOPOMO visitors — my deepest apologies. I blithely signed up for NABLOPOMO and promptly ended up in the hospital for two days (just a scare – I’m fine) which right away made me fail my pledge. But I also forgot – or didn’t think about — the fact that I can’t use a computer on Shabbat. Saturdays are no writing, no typing, no computers, TV, radio, telephone days (I know, it sounds weird if you’re not into it and before I started doing it I thought it totally bizarre. It turns out to be a real pleasure – but I digress.) Anyway I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to bait and switch. I just didn’t think.
Oh – and I promise to post AT LEAST 30 posts this month -just not on Saturdays. — And to stay out of the hospital — at least this month.
Hope you’re fine now.
I also started being Torah observant (four years ago for me). I now love it when I’m lighting the candles and know that the next 25 hours or so are going to be peaceful.
However I still find it difficult in the summer on long saturday evenings, especially in Europe where the sun does not set before 11 pm.
I know what you mean Isabelle – both about the candles and the summer. The good thing is that here in DC all the folks with young kids go to the park at 5ish in the summer and we join them and play with the kids. It’s fun. And we get a LOT of reading done. I love that you’re posting here – keep coming.
hospital? what’s up with that and are you ok?
i clearly dont get on the internet much….
