No, but they need 10 for a minyan (think quorum).
Don't kill anyone if you don't have to. We're here to make a deal.

Hours and hours of meetings. Legs still requesting trial separation. Now face as well due to oncoming weather system.

Ugh, msbelle. Home and work both, that's rough. Something positive for you is a good idea.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
It is kind of just annoying at this point, but trying to be more mindful of self-care, I think something to counteract it is in order. There is just no balancing energy at the moment. If it was more directed at me at work, that would be worse, but would also be pushing me into action which I am actually better at.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Somebody explain this to me? Ten Jewish men in the same area triggers the Apocalypse unless they do a service? (Probably not, but that's the first thing I thought of.)
There are certain prayers and services that can only be said as a community, rather than as individual people, and ten men is what's considered necessary to count as doing it as a community. (Or, it was then. Non-Orthodox Jewish groups now will count women in the ten.)

msbelle, Headspace has a free trial if you want to try meditation: [link]
I figured out that there was a snafu with the meeting setup and actually found the training I was supposed to be in, so I still get to ignore my inbox this morning.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Meditation at least can be short. (Not that I do it, either, but fewer barriers than getting somewhere for any kind of session, whether it's yoga or therapy....)
Speaking of therapy, at my job we just had a commemoration of the Rwanda genocide. Jesus christ, people.

Our wings are not tired.
try to be loud and annoy mom, walk back and forth from room to annoy mom, eventually come into room where mom is enjoying electronics and try to get her attention and/or annoy mom.
Oh how I wish this were so not familiar, alas it is still the same at 23. Trying to be miserable enough to change my mind. Sigh.

That's true. Literally one minute can be worthwhile. OTOH, I find yoga or tai chi or similar better for getting me out of my head when that is really what I want. Meditation being all about being present in my head which sometimes sucks, you know? But is also good.
You know what i haven't had yet? Coffee. That would probably help with the sense-making.

Totally. A physical thing can make me focus on my body, not my head. Even a massage! Although lately, my massage therapist has been really chatty, which sometimes I like and sometimes not so much. It all works out, though -- at least we're talking about interesting non-stressful things.
