and it was good

The Shabbes following Christmas was an in/out, and I was anxious for some rest after the preceding week. Laneia and I had decided to go to dinner by one of our teachers Friday night, and were due to be there at 7pm. Although the address could not have seemed simpler, in reality there were two buildings of the address, one very obvious and wrong, and the other less obvious and correct. We circled the block for nearly an hour, close to giving up and going home, before we found the right place just after 8pm. The downside of being Shomer Shabbes, you cannot call when you are lost.
Saturday, Shabbes day, Laneia and I had decided to stay home and not take a meal anywhere, instead spending the day with Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice and eating in bed, staying in pajamas all day. This was a good day of rest.
