I just got my February pay stub. It's the 28th? Already?? How did THAT happen? Purim feels much too close already (and technically it's delayed a month to begin with). Please, oh, please don't make me think about Pesach.

On the other hand, the other thing that just landed in my in-box is the collection I ordered (used) of the Talley plays. Yay! Who wants to borrow it when I'm done? And when are we reading them out loud?

Speaking of reading: [livejournal.com profile] ellen_kushner now has a LiveJournal? And according to her info page, she shares my birthday?! This is the most entertaining pair of facts I expect to discover all day.

Weekend notes: Really nice Kabbalat Shabbat (even though the lights went out in the middle) and mini-Menschen Shabbat dinner (even though Tiger Boy came home with a migraine). Successful '80s dance (about 45 people, maybe 50 all told; this is about what we had last year, although it seemed like not as many. I suspect Jews On Ice cut into our attendance somewhat. But Kosher Boy came and actually danced with me, which was a pleasure, and so did [livejournal.com profile] thevortex! *waves*). Got up early and baked banana bread. Quick stop at [livejournal.com profile] muchabstracted's Seven Deadly Sins b'day party (although it looked touch-and-go there for a while as to whether I would actually get there at all, my arrival costumed as Lust fortunately helped complete the set), then a very nice little bridal-shower-slash-engagement-party for [livejournal.com profile] musicjill. Menschen rehearsal. Did not watch the Oscars; I never do, honestly. Did manage to run out for groceries once I got home. *relief*

Then I stayed up too late on IM having a just-this-side-of-frustrating chat with [livejournal.com profile] mrmorse, and much too late after that trying to have a slightly-less-frustrating phone conversation that would make me better able to sleep. By 2am, at least I was tired out, not to say wrung out. When hearing Bert and Ernie sing "Imagination" sends huge tears rolling down my face, I am clearly overtired.

And this morning it seems that I still am. Although my headache has receded, I have that unsatisfied feeling that I get from not enough sleep and too much starch and sugar: suddenly nothing seems to fill me up in quite the right way. Sort of in the same way that having three and a half dates with Tiger Boy in five days does not satisfy my yearning for his company. My metabolism seems to be off all around. Or I am failing to address the underlying deficiencies.

At least I managed to take the long-overdue trash out this morning. Getting up at 7:30 may have been destructive to getting "enough" sleep, but at least it meant I could putter around the house a bit, walk to the office (go me), and still get in promptly at 9:30. But there's still so much cleaning and straightening I could do around the house... and I have someone coming over to meet with me in the evening tomorrow (about bar mitzvah invitations).

So much to do. I could write a whole additional post... and may, later. For now, instead, I will go drink some more water and get back to my report writing.

And tonight... more snow.

*HUG*
was nice to see you friday.
Thank you for the support. {;
Will be heading to Eitz Chayim, hopefully with Liz, on Friday. I don't think I'm a good fit with TBS.
I mean no offense to you or Kalessin or ablock.
Its just . . . not a good fit for me right now.
Best if luck with the reports and tigerboy. Glad your weekend went well.

Hey, kiddo -- thanks for coming. It's okay if TBS is not doing it for you. There's room for lots of different spiritual experiences; TBS covers some of them well, others not so much, even for me. *hugs*

you know [livejournal.com profile] thevortex?! good to dance with :-)
Sounds like 80s dance was fun. I skipped it in favor of being home, and now I am threatened by snow! (so i am combing over lj, can you tell ;-) )

I know him now! Yes, he's a terrific dancer. Glad you got a good time at home, even if it precluded joining us. :-)

please don't make me think about Pesach
OK, you could think about Lent and be grateful that you're not Catholic.

...though Imagination is a lovely song, and well worth tearing up over.

Yes, Purim is on the horizon, with Pesach lurking just under the radar... the next few weeks are going to go by very fast!
