It was nice not to be waiting for any deliveries today; I did a bit more consolidation, pruning, and labeling of photos from 2002, which will make the eventual migration to the new machine a few seconds faster.

This morning was a special occasion – my first cousin, Sharon, turned 75 yesterday and her children arranged a surprise Zoom birthday party for her. It had been a long time since we’d talked, and it was good to see other family members, too.

This evening, we attended a Sheloshim service for Rabbi Aron’s mother who died a bit over a week ago; that was a reminder of the other end of the cycle.

The waiting resumes tomorrow.

UPS sent me a message this morning saying that my new Mac mini was “out for delivery” today, much to my surprise. After Shir Shabbat services, we went outside and found a box from Apple on the porch – it was the box I need to use when I send my old computer to them for trade-in. And it came by FedEx, not UPS. Maybe Monday….

Our neighbors Bones and Skully have reappeared after their vacation – good thing they have heavy sweaters because it’s quite chilly outside tonight!
