Shanah Tovah Everyone

I want to take the time to wish my friends and my readers a l'shanah tovah. I hope that you will all have a sweet year with beracha, hatzlacha, and mazal. A special note to my friends, please forgive me now if I don't get a chance to call you tomorrow.

I am absolutely exhausted (mentally and physically) from a long week filled with one surprise after another, and I am just trying to make it through the old year and into the new year on two feet.

I am also a bit worried that there will be nothing to eat except the challot that I baked, a leftover soup, and a few canned goods that I purchased for the simanim, due to my physical exhaustion. On the positive front, I can report that this chag is not costing us an arm and a leg due to some smart shopping on my part.

Currently, I am sitting down right now to try to gain back a bit of physical strength so that I can actually start and finish the cooking. I am enjoying a rare moment of complete silence in my house and it is really something special.

Shanah Tovah and have a meaningful chag. As my toddler was yelling throughout the grocery store today, indiscriminately. . . Chag Sameach!
