Requested Post...Since I've been lagging

Tonight TikkunGer asked why I hadn't blogged, I guess I just haven't been in blogging mode and perhaps getting used to having someone here with me and learning to manage time and stuff. That's not a complaint. I'm glad to have someone here with me to manage time with.

All in all things are good. As you may know, TG is staying an extra 2 weeks with me which is great. It gives us a chance to spend a couple of real weeks together; me at work, him working on school stuff. It's good. It gives us regular away time during the day which is good to experience since we don't get that on a day to day basis living on different continents. We've also had a chance to do a lot of site seeing stuff (Skirball Museum, Museum of Tolerance, Krishna Museum), meeting and spending some time with my friends from shul. Last night he went to a class with a friend of mine/ours. It's neat to have a somewhat normal existence together.

I'm beginning to settle back into work and actually get some stuff done. I probabally am harder on myself compared to what others see. I missed 7 days in all since we came back a couple of weeks ago. I was concerned about looking bad even though everyone at work knew my mom had passed away. I went ahead and had a casual chat with my V.P. to let her know I'm aware of my days missed. She simply smiled, told me she understood, told me not to worry and gave me a hug; quite nice and unexpected. The best thing about work is that tomorrow is Friday and I have the next (short- 3 day) week which makes me happy. After the short week we have a LONG 4 day weekend. Yippee! And then, when we go back after the long weekend there is only 3 weeks left until the end of the semester and a ten day break. Another Yippee!

And so...that's it. Hopefully I'll have some more interesting things to blog about sooner than later. Like Shabbat or something Jewish, it's been a while.
