I started the day by making challah dough. I was totally psyched to make 5lb of dough in my new Bosch (and freeze the extra) but firstly, I forgot about toyveling the mixer (and the rest of the appliances with metal parts that we bought), and secondly, I only bought 1kg of flour this week, and I wanted to put up the dough before I went shopping. So I made a quarter batch by hand, and off I went to the Rami Levy (awesome grocery store less than 5 minutes away).
I was expecting the Rami Levy to be busy, it being Erev Shabbos and all, but I was not expecting to have to park outside of their parking lot. Nor was I expecting to have to hover near another customer who was loading their car and ask for their cart. But that's how busy it was. Inside, everyone was nice and friendly and running around like mad. So many carts and customers and stocking carts to navigate around. Wowsa. And of course, since we're still very much setting up, I needed a whole cart-load of stuff. Madness, I tell you. Madness.
The afternoon was all baking and cooking and moving stuff out of the main areas. Also, one of our neighbors came over with a dessert to welcome us to the neighborhood. Aw :) Oh, and the part where BSM took a two-and-a-half hour nap and would have slept longer if I hadn't woken him up. And then proceeded to be tired. I wonder if he really did sleep all night last night, or if that was just me...
