Sunday: Mother of all things holy, what hot miserable weather. I can’t tolerate it for more than two minutes. I can barely tolerate being inside, even though baruch Hashem my house is equipped with that modern marvel known as central air conditioning.
My house is full of smoke. FULL. See, my husband stuck some bread in [...]

That title just about sums it up.
YS actually does have a mild case of restless legs. She needs to take Melatonin every night, once the drugstore gets her special kiddie dosage, which should happen today. Who knew? She’s very pleased, and has already upped her bedtime drama in response. The truth is I’m not surprised, [...]
Well this is different. As you might have seen in several places throughout this blog, I tend to gaze at and/or purchase items sold through The Hunger Site, and the other sites in the click-to-give network.

Thinking about the approaching summer fills me with fear and dread. This is perhaps not totally surprising, but still.
I have been stressing about Pesach for two weeks already. -??- This is most unlike me.
