it is 10:00 a.m. in the holy city of safed and it is miserably cold and pouring. I cleaned out one pantry shelf. my arm hurts. I am thinking about going to the supermarket in my neighborhood to buy pesach dog food and disposable dishes. I can't deal with my kitchen and dining area. everything is on the counters and tables. it is too cold to work in the house. what is going on? I am pretty tired despite how much I sleep. I keep the heater on next to my bed. I have to get to the yeshiva by noon. yesterday I was hoping that I would not have to go in. I was on my way in at !:00 p.m. when I got the call to serve lunch an half an hour earlier. some of the guys were travelling to another town for a ceremony.
I served the most awful meal imaginable. the pasta was barely cooked and I threw two cans of tomato paste into the pot of boiled water. of course I threw in some spices. I tried to make it up at dinner time. I fried up tiny meatball patties and made sweet potatoes and carrot kugel. I also served the remainder of the canned corn and pasta from lunch. I was really too tired to go shopping at the supermarket but I did so anyway. it was pretty empty. I did wait in the cold and rain for over an hour to get a free taxi ride home. I spent over $300 and that didn't include eggs or fruits and veggies. the holidays here are killers.
I cancelled my eye test for next week. I just cannot waste any more precious time to clean for pesach. if my arm doesn't get any better I do not know how I will manage. it is quite foggy now. I am seriously thinking about hitting the store soon. I am truly not loving my life right now. I emailed my sister to ask if she wanted her pesach dishes which have been in my living room hutch for the past 10 years. I had to ask my gardener for help in retrieving them. he is such a great guy.
