I guess it might have been nice to do something for our 100th day here, but I didn't think of it until today. Anyway, it's Erev Shabbos, so I cooked and cleaned and played with El Babo.
I also fixed my patchwork Shabbos skirt that's coming apart at the seams. I feel that every time it comes out of the laundry, there's another seam coming apart, but I did buy it for $5 on the sidewalks of Washington Heights, so I can't complain too much. For years now, I've been saying I should just run every single one of the zillion seams through a sewing machine, but that will take a long time, and I don't enjoy machine-sewing the way I enjoy a nice half-hour or so of hand sewing. And a nice half-hour or so of hand-sewing is exactly what this skirt gives me every time it goes through the laundry, so, hey! It's a good thing I don't have a sewing machine in Israel. Nice excuse to keep doing like I do.
I also managed to stay completely focused today, so by the time 3pm rolled around, the house was ready; just waiting to heat up the food. Which is what I shall now go to do. Good Shabbos!
