qiloraas much as i can do on Shabbes is to light my candle and put aside all sewing and work... but that is about it... moving to Greenville appears to have put my soul into hibernation with being a Jew...
it reminds me of living in Alexandria, LA, where i was the only Chabadnik among about 47,000 people... but now i am in Greenville, and the only one in about 90,000... i feel just about as odd in both places... but at least here in NC i have been able to make a few acquaintances who are refugees from the Tri-States... we aren't really close though, so here comes the feeling-odd again...
as for the reading and language work that i've done today, it has been: spending today reading about technology-addiction and the history of England's monarchy (while downstairs) and beginning my current nightly reading: Griechische Mythen/Sagen, and biographies of DH Lawrence and William Beckford...
a friend of mine told me about workbooks that she still had from studying Scottish Gaelic while in school, and i thought it would be a good idea to be actually writing down this Irish that i TRYING to keep in my mind... i went back to lesson 1 (Juju's Kindergarten) and wrote *every" word they gave me.. so far i have 51 index-cards in the making.. but as of now i am scribbling these words into a notebook and have to wait until the cards arrive on Monday, to actually MAKE the cards...
this last activity that i told you about has me feeling a bit excited... i don't know if i should feel ashamed of this.
