Have mostly not been here and so much to write

vvalkyriBut right now I really should at least attempt to get back to sleep. Sleeping is not happening tonight.
I just realized I had suggested finding water for tashlich back at Rosh Hashanah and Cousins and I went for a walk and did not and the time flew by and maybe I can somehow manage today.
The 10 days between the high holidays ended up so incredibly full that they've been anything other than introspective.
And I don't know when I'm going to be able to write.
. Today is going to be just as full, and I'm realizing I'm not going to have time to go home before going to synagogue tonight wherever I'll end up. I suppose I'm still technically a member of agudas. Maybe? But I certainly didn't reserve space. So I'll get together with other cousin I guess before the fast and I guess we'll go to fabrangan.
Everything is such a mess.
In the world, in the country, in my life.
I've been overly irritated in a few directions
I keep living in regrets. Relatedly, Thunderbolts was really good and I enjoyed it. Created a spoilery group on facebook.
I'm dictating because it's the phone and I can't be bothered to go look for a keyboard.
I'm afraid I've missed most of what anyone might have been saying - at this point it's mostly Facebook and signal, so very many freaking signal groups.
I was out in Cleveland for Rosh Hashanah, with both the Cleveland cousins and my Cleveland uncle and Aunt and it was pretty good if short
And I have stuff to return to free - she was nice enough to lend me a molecular covid test so I could feel less paranoid about 92-year-old uncle.
Because mobility issues we tuned into Park avenue synagogue, and it was actually really nice, five of us in the room felt more than communal enough.
Wednesday night I went to the ninja gym and then on to Pittsburgh, and stayed in Pittsburgh with Jim and visited with Charlotte and then briefly with Diane and then got home pretty late. And then the next day joined Sam for NPR tiny desk concert (am finishing InHumana from the prepublication giveaway shelf).
And then activist happy hour which was a time to interact with the folks I've been working with in person and that went pretty late and then home and then up to Ken's and then Saturday to fair and then the two of us stopped off at a burner party complete with hot tub and got home stupid stupid late and then Sunday to Acro and then back for dinner and a walk and a tripping and scraping my knee and eventually watching Thunderbolts starting at midnight
And yesterday a dentist appointment and eventually evening with Joe
And today mammography all the way out in Germantown which meant I got to see Andrian at a really dangerous French bakery, and FreeDC tabling intro on the way to Acro and Acro til 930 and then never managed to be sleepy or at least not to sleep well.
And then yom Kippur starts tonight.
I have appointments tomorrow and several different places, so no I won't be up on Capitol Hill at quarter to noon when both Maryland senators are calling for a press conference and asking feds to join
One thing I don't think is getting out very well about shutdown fight is that any continuing resolution continuing all the horrible from the BBB before. These demands are not new spending but restored spending.
Somewhat relatedly, I suppose, the pediatric brain cancer research program just ended.
Every so often I stop in thinking simply cannot believe we are in this timeline.
And I still haven't actually written a high holidays post
I suppose for placeholder, I do still attempt to be kind. I do still attempt to be good. And I probably suck at all of that, and if I've been hurtful, it's unusual for that to have been on purpose, which in fact in some ways makes it worse I do understand.
(I am currently finding one person on Facebook terribly irritating. He's a good friend of a friend, and I do not know him, and he is quite often irritating, but in that way where one knows he's not trying to be annoying, he's just succeeding)
I suppose if I were being good and kind and nice I wouldn't have volunteered to him that I was finding him irritating. I have not historically told him so.
