Playing catch-up

Celebrating Shabbat was wonderful - but a little overwhelming. That night, we had a lovely dinner and discussion, and my DH played poker with the teens for a while, too. It was a very cozy evening, and the next day was action-packed. If it were anything other than Shabbat, I would have said a debauch, since the food and drink didn't stop all day. We walked from house to house, and I met some amazing people, but was just pooped by the time I got home. My DH had already left for the eastside, so we didn't get to see each other that day. That was not optimal, but there's just so much wonderful stuff you can fit in a single day.

The following week was a bit of a roller coaster. Emotionally, I'm not as consistent as I wish I were. I am still deciding what to do next, and it's great to have options, but knowing how to approach them is a puzzle...Some days I'm just not up to anything, but I am getting my rest. My weight, however, is taking a back seat, as I went up a bit again this week. I'm trying to get better, but now it's Passover, and my aunt is going to cook up something wonderful because that's just the way she is! I'm just going to have to be good when I can and not beat myself up when I'm not.

Hopefully, I'll get better about keeping up with the blog, too. I think it helps me to think out loud here, at least that's how it's turned out. I was planning on documenting our outings to restaurants and theaters, but there won't be too much of that until I get a job, so I'm just playing it by ear.
