Friday Afternoons

Friday afternoons in Shabbat observant homes are normally characterized by rushing around frantically to prepare for Shabbat. Generally speaking, I like that, as it makes such a great contrast when Shabbat comes in. But right now I just want to relax for a bit. Besides, on Shabbat I'm relaxed but restricted from doing weekday things. On Sundays I'm not restricted but I get tense knowing that I have work the next day and because I don't do well with unstructured days. So right before Shabbat and right after are kind of the most weekday-ish times for me to enjoy the world. Think I'll watch a little of the Daily Show online and maybe pay a bill or two before I go check on my rice.
