the usual Sunday evening whimper

Hoovered floor, scrubbed out kitchen sink, was virtuous. Also was very lazy in the remainder of the day.

Wish it wasn't work tomorrow. One gets used to three-day weeks far too fast.

The Rabbi's Song

If Thought can reach to Heaven,
On Heaven let it dwell,
For fear thy Thought be given
Like power to reach to Hell.
For fear the desolation
And darkness of thy mind
Perplex a habitation
Which thou hast left behind.

Let nothing linger after --
No whimpering ghost remain,
In wall, or beam, or rafter,
Of any hate or pain.
Cleanse and call home thy spirit,
Deny her leave to cast
On aught thy heirs inherit
The shadow of her past.

For think, in all thy sadness,
What road our griefs may take;
Whose brain reflect our madness,
Or whom our terrors shake:
For think, lest any languish
By cause of thy distress --
The arrows of our anguish
Fly farther than we guess.

Our lives, our tears, as water,
Are spilled upon the ground;
God giveth no man quarter,
Yet God a means hath found,
Though Faith and Hope have vanished,
And even Love grows dim --
A means whereby His banished
Be not expelled from Him!

-- Kipling

Mmm, 3-day-work weeks...

I, meanwhile, go *sigh* that school resumes on Monday. It's not the "school" part. It's the getting up so blighted early. *sigh*

The thought makes me shudder. So much sympathy.

And today, I never got to go back to bed! See, we were gonna take my car in for servicing -- drop it off and come back and get to sleep. But ze spouse's car's clutch decided that it wasn't gonna work no more, no more, and you can't whip a car. >_> So I had to call in and change the appointment at the last minute, and then the spouse had to call about his, and then I didn't figure I'd get to sleep (so I worked on "The Best Revenge" art-coloring), and when he woke up again, we got food and then he called the tow truck...
