Week in review

[magid]

+ Milk with cookies
– foot still bruised from a dropped book's pointy corner
+ per-page contract work progress, even unto invoicing
+ finally using a gift certificate to a used book store (from 2003!) (thanks again to Zzbottom)
– skipped an event I'd planned to attend due to laziness
+ sent in for a winter share through the end of next month
+ sent in kiddush receipts for reimbursement
+ rides and conversation
+ stopped at Tabrizi's and was pleased to be recognized, though it's been years since I've seen the owner
– continued undersleptness (I'm a broken record on this; I need to be more diligent about adequate sleep. It colors everything.)
– not cooking enough
– eating piss poorly too many days this week (see previous two points; it's all tied together)
– unhappy health news from a number of people
– slip and fall, though without lasting issues
+ seeing a long-distance friend recently recontacted via Facebook, and having time to reconnect
+ fabulous flowers, including birds of paradise (also, having a vase large enough to show them to advantage!)
+ hosting Shabbat dinner
+ much interesting conversation, including questions of punctuation in Torah, Ibn Ezra's time in Italy, anti-semitism in modern Italy, films and books that are nominally the same stories, and more
+ "attractive, yet not attracting"

Comments

On the whole, a positive week.

I'm most intrigued by the last comment - I'm guessing that, since it was a positive comment, it was said by you, not to you.

It was said to me, actually, as part of an anecdote: there had been a conference some years back about Jewish feminists, and at one panel there was a discussion of women's attire, at which a Lubavitch rebbetzin said that remark, which had my friend in stitches.

Oddly enough, though there were many positives, fitting in the evening work and not being diligent enough about getting enough sleep left a bit of a hole in the middle of my week. I hope that I'll be able to balance things better in upcoming weeks.
