I've been trying to find a list of all major and minor religious holy days that are celebrated in December.
I'm surprised this isn't a Wikipedia page. They love lists like that.
Speaking of which, can a fellow Buffista Jew confirm for me that Hannukah has NOT started yet? Every calendar I can find says the first night is Dec 8th, but I keep seeing electric menorahs in shop windows with one candle already lit!! Am I going crazy??
Rabbi Google also told me the 8th.
We just had to go through this issue while working out the attending schedule a couple of weeks ago, so even without Rabbi Google I know it's the 8th, and the one-candle-already-lighters are severely wrong.
Whew! I was worried my kids were going to be expecting presents tonight. (Well, the 5 year-old anyway. Who would then prep the almost-2 year-old.)
Well, it not starting until the 8th is no guarantee of him not expecting presents tonight anyway... God knows my 6-year-old expects presents all the time for no reason whatever. But, yeah, mistimed expectations of an actual official holiday, with a bonus wound-up present-expecting toddler, would truly suck.
Awww, this Buzzfeed post makes me miss visiting the Zmayhem. I kept scrolling down, waiting for it to show up, and it finally did. (#10 is a long-standing tag across the street from the Zmayhem residence).
Well, I think Devi managed to traumatize every animal (including people) in the vet's office when they took a blood sample. I warned them, but at least this time they believed me. She's just got an URI, on anti-bs, but she'd lost a lb since last year (which is down 1.5 from 2 years ago) hence the bloodwork.
I am covered in cat hair.
Now for the fun stuff:
And I came home to an email (!) from my mother, which was a forwarded email(!!!!!) from my father Thursday afternoon (? she says friday, it is from thursday, she didn't see it until he got home at some point this weekend!) in which he informs her of double vision, poor balance, dizzinesss and high BP while he was up in ABQ. He waits it out and then drives home(!)
I don't even. She didn't mention any of this on the phone last night. He's promised to see a dr today. WHICH HE SHOULD HAVE CALLED AS SOON AS IT STARTED HAPPENING. Oh, and maybe CALLED MY MOTHER ? BECAUSE HE WAS UP IN ABQ BY HIMSELF?! Fucking idiot.
I don't even.
Yikes, sara! Hoping they get it figured out and treated ASAP, whatever it is. But yeah, your dad needs a serious cluesticking.
Suzi, I'm sorry there was drama, but very glad that the BF is gone. Sounds like the best outcome all around.
In other news, it's a really lovely April day in Nashville today.
