So yesterday I didn't daven mincha because of an afternoon meeting I had forgotten about. I did, however, learn with Yaakov, and I did spent a significant amount of time with Letters, which I found to be both intuitive and synchronous, so that was great. I was reading some back entries in my journal, old weird dreams, morning pages, and came across an entry that was virtually identical to yesterday's post. And it was March 21, 2006. Things spiral, right? I took it positively, that I'm waking up again, this time at a much better place than I was last year.
So three things for today:
1) daven and learn (should be regulars)
2) more Letters
3) clean for Pesach--always a cathartic experience
Also, while we're on the subject of lists, need to:
1) call my grandmother
2) call Roger about the seder
3) sort out my failure to appear for jury duty in Baltimore--I didn't even get the summons until a week after the date I needed to appear. I hope they don't arrest me at the airport or something. I immediately thought of this cartoon by the genius Emily Flake.
Now "Galileo" is playing and I'm missing Shana and those nights singing at the Shambergs' so much it hurts. So glad we're going back next week.
