Well then

I just ordered myself a new computer. We'll see how this one goes- but thanks to my roommate from last year, who is delightful in many, many ways, I got an excellent discount, and found myself a computer. Wish me luck with it. What a way to go into a new year. It'll arrive, well, at some point, depending on how all goes. So I'll still be computer lab dependant for a while yet- but the time is now at least limitted.

Services for Rosh Hashanah are coming along, nearly ready (I should probably find/pick another couple of readings, but if not, I imagine that they'll just have to deal with less rabbi-chosen inspiration and a shorter service.), and I need to grocery shop, work a shift in the dining hall, and finish up packing (it's nicely underway). Then I do the good old disappearing trick, and re-appear sometime on Sunday. (But my folks are coming out to spend shabbos with me- that's something to look forward to.)

Yesterday was a wild round of errands (food, sticky tack, various stuff in assorted combinations), hapless computer research, and a bunch of holiday preparations. But it ended with a nice conversation with H, and then with a visit from cynara_linnaea, which made for a really lovely evening. Then I woke up this morning, quite early, feeling that pre-high holiday adrenaline starting to flow.

Next up, the grocery store. Shanah Tovah to all to whom it is relevant- wishing you all a happy and healthy new year.
