Stuff.

Tomorrow is the Ninth of Av, a traditional fast day that commemorates (if that's the right word) some of the set of awful things that happened to the Jewish people over the past few thousand years. If you're observing it, may you have a meaningful fast. (I'm not able to fast for medical reasons, and so will be eating plain, bland foods instead.)

Meanwhile, the secular world moves on. We've got three apartment showings scheduled for tomorrow, of which I hope at least one is acceptable, and willing to take our deposit money. This process is made of Fail, and I want to be done with it.


ETA: Oh, yeah. I'm reminded of how awkward it is to not be fasting when other people are.
