Overcast If holiday stuffings got you down — try this
|
How many of you have said that you would not eat for a week because you were so stuffed from six meals over the three day Rosh Hashanah holiday? What about after the first days of Sukkot? And then the last three, including Shmeni Ateret and Simchat Torah? But we all know the answer to that — we eat, and eat and eat. We groan about how stuffed we are and then comes the next meal and we think we’re just going to pick at something or eat really lightly, but that’s never the case, is it? |
Right after Yom Tov, my husband Jerry exclaimed that he was so excited to get back to a “regular week.”
“Really,” I replied. “Were all the three day Yom Tovim too difficult for you?” Too many gourmet meals? Too many naps in the afternoon? Seriously, What exactly did you miss out on except for work? But I knew what Jerry was lamenting — the fact that he couldn’t attend his beloved gym. That, and running to and from shul and being on the clock. Since he is still saying Kaddish for his mom (and mine, even though my brother is saying Kaddish for her), he has to be in shul the minute it starts, and has to stay till the end, when the last Kaddish is recited. Jerry is not a morning person, or afternoon or evening person, when it come to being on time.
