Did not fast today. The raging headach and dizziness at 10AM kinda told me "Bad idea."

I'll put up with that on major fast days, but not on minor ones. My doctor is unhappy about me fasting in general, anyway.

So, instead, I cleaned my kitchen. Because I have a cleaning person coming on Thursday. Oh, I didn't clean out my fridge or clean my oven or even wash the floor, but I got rid of a lot of junk. And made my stove top less embarrassing. I'll do the same in the other rooms of the house, and clear off (or get Jonathan to clear off) the dining room table. That is, I won't vacuum unless I need to, but I'll put things away and leave room for actual cleaning. And I'll make the bathroom less embarrassing.

The problem is, if I can do that, why do I need a maid?

My answer is, if there's someone coming every week or two to do this job, I'll have to keep it dejunked.

a friend of mine's mother, sadly, passed away when he was a young teenager due to cancer. He still tells stories of the rabbi telling his mother, in the midst of chemotherapy treatments, that she was NOT ALLOWED to fast. She didn't want to hear any of it. So he came over on YK with tea and crackers and made sure she ate at least that.
