Surviving Providence

Shabbat was interesting to say the least.

[To steal Deena's cool journal style]

-There was a whole issue with the fact that dinner was at 6:30 [shabbat started at 7:40]. They wanted to have it early because my cousins were coming, and they ended up not coming

-Grandma and Grandpa kept on turning on and off lights for me, even though I didn't ask, and I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do with that. I asked Shlomo after the fact, and he doesn't know.

+The walk to shul was relaxing. It was 45 minutes, but it didn't seem to take that long.

+The mechitza at the shul is all latticey and see through. They even brought the Torah to the women's side

+ People at the shul were nice and I was invited to lunch(es)

+Lunch was good.

+I napped and read all afternoon

-I need to get better books

-My Grandparents left and came back while I was davening mincha and they interrupted me

+It wasn't during the shmoneh esrei

-Havdallah was lonely

+It's lag ba'omer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know if I can do this again. Maybe I'll stay with someone from the shul instead of my Grandparents, but I can't insult them. I need to call Rabbi Seif tomorrow.
