crappy weekend...sort of
I started to write "crappy shabbos" as the subject but then didn't feel right about it. Of course that is what it was anyway. My friend who lives a block away called and asked me what I was doing. We made plans for me to pick up food and we ended meeting up early on Friday so I could watch Jeopardy over there before candle lighting. (FYI: Ken Jennings broke the one day record with $75,000) Silly me I thought since I was being invited over for shabbos that people would actually pay attention to me. I was practically ignored the whole night. Well, maybe I'm being selfish because my block away friend was really tired from working hard all week and it's not like I even work Fridays but still...And I guess I was acting a little crabby because my period was coming and I didn't know it at the time although the Advil I kept popping should have been a sign. So we got into a little fight and pretended to make up. Then I left. I know when I am not wanted. Problem was I had to come back the next day or starve. Besides I was not missing my only chance to eat meat until after Tish B'av. So I was ignored again. I understand people get tired on Shabbos after a long week but I do not understand why I can't be included in the group nap. All I wanted was a hug or some pity. A back massage would have been nice.
After shabbos I couldn't even find anyone to share a banana split with and I offered to deliver! I really needed that banana split and a little company!
This morning my period came and as nice as it is to be alive and fertile and in touch with the phases of the moon and all that crap I felt like hiding in my bed all day. I was suppose to go out to lunch with Andy K in the city but I slept through that and now he is off to Boston and mad at me for missing his whole trip to New York. Luckily my friend who works at The Buzz, nearby, called me and scolded me until I got dressed and met her for coffee and lunch. So at least I got outside and took the puppy for a little walk. Tomorrow I have work and then Tuesday I can stay home all by my crabby self. Have an easy fast everyone. I love you all and it makes me want to cry.
PS Don't worry I'll be back to normal in four to six days.
