In less than ten days we'll be celebrating the Jewish new year. Rosh Hashanah starts on Sunday night, September 29. This month is a time of reflection, taking stock, and doing some introspection. On the other end of the holiday is October, a month we've been talking about for a while.

I'm planning to host the first night at my house. The alternative was walking somewhere and that didn't feel like something I want to do. The other three meals are up in the air, and default is being home just the two of us. I'm ok with that but I may reach out to my neighbors to see if anyone wants to do potluck.

Renos are officially over, praise be. We got the cleaning crew in twice to get all the dust out. I didn't love the floors at first but it's definitely growing on me, especially with the new rug and throw pillows.

The new person in my department is starting next week. I'm working on not having a hard time adjusting, accepting change, and losing control of my position and physical space at work. I'm trying not to think about the fomo I'm feeling right now because it will hopefully be replaced by something bigger and better which is the reason I'm taking leave to begin with.
