DD was to have brought my car back at 9:30 so I just texted her and she forgot, so she'll be here soon. I am in recovery from such a social weekend. Last night we were out for dinner and then a presentation from a Holocaust survivor (89 years old and going strong) last night. It was an important presentation but I'm letting the politics of the Jewish community bother me. They tried to give the illusion of a united Jewish community yet the welcome was the orthodox rabbi, a second welcome was from his congregation, and then they had a politician with whom most of Jewish audience would disagree speak also - and he's up for re election right now. I really really dislike the situation; am considering an email to president and rabbi of our congregation and the exec director of the Jewish federation. I know they are well aware of the situation we were placed in. Dd went to the VIP event as a representation of the congregation since our rabbi was away. (The politician actually came up to dh and told him that "he had had dinner with dh's daughter." I was keeping my head down because I probably wouldn't have been nice.)
As usual I'm getting a late start today.
I wrote this earlier before dd came by and we went after her car. I also went to the drugstore to pick up scripts. I need to ck to see if dh picked up his laundry before I go after it.
Thinking of so many of us....Kathryn, Harmony and her dh, and bw2's sweet old dog.
