You are missing the obvious explanation, Hil. Angels.

Hee. I think I might light my candles outside tonight. The patio has horizontal surfaces not covered with clutter, for one thing.

Oh! And this week is Shabbat Across America week! Which means ... I'm not exactly sure what. But there are facebook groups and stuff. Supposed to be the week that all the Jews in the US observe Shabbat, and they get all the young people to do it by making it seem Super Hip. Or something.
Hmm. I lit candles, and the TV and radio are off, but lights are on and I'm still online. Not contributing as much as I ought to, I guess.

It is? I had no idea. Too bad I have no bread. I've baked challah the last two weeks, but not today. I can do candles and grape juice tonight, and maybe this will be the Saturday that I actually make it to morning services. Baby steps.

Yeah, I didn't make it to services tonight, on account of the raining and the tired and the didn't feel like it. Maybe tomorrow morning.

OMG. Somebody just came up the back stairs (going to my upstairs neighbor's), saw the dog and screamed like she was being ax murdered. Seriously, I've never heard a sound like that before.
And of course the dog starts into barking furiously at that point, so I'm flying outside but wondering if I should, and...just whoa. It's just freaky, even when nothing has actually happened.
(By the time I got out there, she and her friends were already at the laughing hysterically at her reaction point - no unpleasantness on either side. It's just that adrenaline rush that has me still on edge.)

Don't let them trick you into eating scrapple, Brenda!
I just finished cooking up about a 3-day supply of bison chilli, and am now enjoying it and laughing at the snowpocalypse.

Kat, I really want to visit you guys this weekend.
OK! Saturday afternoon is perfect for me if you are up to it. I'll be home unloading boxes and will therefore look forward to interruptions and any reason to procrastinate.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have to be back in my neck of the woods for my massage at 6, but maybe before then. Email me your address, will you?

Question for people who were buying clothes in the seventies: I'm looking at this Sears catalog page [link] , and what's up with the half sizes? There are sizes 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, and 18, and then half sizes 16 1/2, 18 1/2, 20 1/2, and 22 1/2. My guess is that these were the women's sizes (by the way, why is it that so many stores call the regular sizes "ladies" and the plus sizes "womens"?), but what did the 1/2 signify, and why the overlap with 16 and 18?
