Tired and busy

I didn't get enough work done today, but I did go dancing- a mediocre night, although well decorated for Yom Ha'Atzmaut. I was "chag sameach"ed- felt odd, Yom Ha'Atzmaut feels like a secular event to me, and I'm not used to "chag sameach" for secular holidays. But there were tons of people there, and a bunch of cute kids. In addition, Yossi came up, surprisingly (but without holding much excitement), and Jill (someone I know not a close friend) is engaged- after dating this guy for 8 months- doesn't seem so long to me. Eh, to each their own.

Today otherwise- I think I sort of drifted through it, and didn't get enough work done. GUess I'll survive. I was exhausted- still am, and sort of on the brink of dehydration I think. I'm off to finish my tea and go to bed.

I see Channukah as a semi-religious holiday, religious mostly because of the miracle of the oil, wherever that came from. The victory I see as a human victory, not necessarily divine.

If you're as much a Zionist as I am Reform, you can't be that much of a Zionist... My movement identification varies between Conservative/Traditional Egalitarian/Reformodox and confused, depending on my thoughts of the moment.

I meant that I am as much a product of my upbringing as you claimed to be. (o:

I see it as a partnership in victory - human and divine. Sorta like creation and tikun olam. We like to work together with God.
