What I tried to do:
\nHave the computer shelf we had bought at IKEA in March mounted on the dining room wall.
\nWhat happened:
\nSUCCESS!
\nWhat I tried to do:
\nHave a handyman fix bumps and crevices and chips and gouges in the walls and around outside corners of the room.
\nWhat happened:
\nA family matter has kept him at home for the last 9 days.
\nWhat I tried to do:
\nHave the upholsterer finally reupholster our very dingy looking recliner.
\nWhat happened:
\nFriendly Mr. N will call me sometime when he gets to Modi’in.
\nWhat I tried to do:
\nHave the garden planted and fertilized before the beginning of shmittah
\nWhat happened:
\nThe gardener showed up one day too late to do any planting, chopped down by mistake a lemon tree, and caused the grapevine to lie in its death throes on the ground. Oh yes, he forgot to fertilize around the trees.
\nWhat I tried to do:
\nJust live a happy calm life
\nWhat happened:
\nWhile I was sitting in the living room one afternoon, the entire house lost electricity when the ground fault breaker got thrown. After carefully turning off all of the other breakers, It appeared that for some unknown reason the overhead light in my bedroom or the bathroom light, both of which were off, threw the entire house into a tizzy. After calls to two electricians, one arrived at 6:30 a.m. the next day and when flipping the suspect switch, found nothing amiss. Only later did he divine that the lights in the garden where the culprits (they were also off when the house shorted out!) So now we need to figure out how to remedy that… not easy because the cables are buried under both concrete and earth.
\nWhat I tried to do:
\nKeep things simple
\nWhat happened: I ended up going to the airport twice (to drop off and then pick up my daughter and granddaughter), to a Modi’in baseball game with the new olim (that was stopped halfway through the last inning because of darkness), and driving out to the local shopping center to pick up the said new olim that is about 15 minutes away and getting caught in the typical nightly traffic jam back for about 45 minutes.
\nWhat I tried to do:
\nClean our glass roof, wash the car, do the laundry, touch up the walls.
\nWhat happened:
\nSUCCESS!<\/p>\n
So, it wasn’t a disaster, but it certainly wasn’t the restful time I expected it to be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
