Writing stuff down:
May. 15th, 2026 04:32 pm- Shir Shabbat tonight, 8-9:30 give or take. Singing tunes and songs, not a full prayer service, socializing.
-- First, go to library and make copies of some Jerusalem songs from my shiron (songbook), because this week held Yom Yerushalayim, commemorating the day on which Jerusalem was unified.
-- Also, buy chocolate frosting. I'm making the Swiss meringue, I don't also need to make this.
- After that, spend another 30 minutes (plus more repetition) practicing tomorrow's Torah reading so I can sing it from the Torah. (i.e. no vowel markings, no trope markings)
Tomorrow:
- Services and lunch, through early afternoon.
- Make chocolate cake, lemon cake, Swiss meringue (with a little lemon flavor).
-- Assemble cake, put in fridge.
Sunday:
- Kids come over around 10 AM, we leave for Castle Fun Park by 10:30.
- 12-2: party! (They provide 90 minutes of unlimited arcade games, a decorated room, 2 pcs of pizza and unlimited soda for 8 kids, and all tableware stuff. I'm bringing the cake and the kids, and a few other adults.)
-- Drive kids home, give them back to parents.
- Maybe go to the movies with Benito?!
Monday is Victoria Day; no work, no school.
** Gardening!! Mow backyard. I hope it's not raining.
- Bookfair at B's school this week.
- Shavuot starts Thursday evening; program at shul 6:30-9:30. (I still remember the year I stayed up with Tahl at her friend's house reading and discussing the Book of Ruth until the dead of night, and then Tahl and I walked home, pretty sure.)
