So now we live on Long Island, and even live in close proximity to a town called Mount Sinai, and it shouldn't surprise me that now all Jewish feasts will be honored in this area. Case in point - schools are closed today for Yom Kippur. Who knew?! ;)
Anyway, I'm living the single life for the next two weeks because Kamil will be staying with his parents while he works at the VA hospital. It's only 20-25 minutes from their house, as opposed to about twice that from our place, so alas. I'll be heading over to his parents' for dinner tonight to get some time with my hubby.
It's strange how it shifts my entire day. Yesterday I found myself not knowing what to do with myself, so I bested my FitBit goal and got over 15,000 steps! Hips... so... sore...
Chick fil A training starts this weekend, so that should be exciting. I even got to try out my new uniform, and let's just say I'm glad I'm not planning to pick up any guys while working there ;) At least it's modest, haha.
The big news of course out here is Papa Francis's trip in the U.S. Little neat fact is that he will be staying in a townhouse in Manhattan that was once the private home of the woman who donated the funds to establish Kamil's high school.
In the spirit of the trip, here's a pretty good piece from The Atlantic on the Pope. What I would love to happen is he reinforce things like Humanae Vitae during this meeting on marriage and the family. So I guess we'll see.
Speaking of interesting articles, on a completely separate note, here's a fun piece about how my alma mater is not considered a valid institution of higher education according to the Department of Education (please please why is removing the DOE no longer on the GOP platform?!??). Umm...yeah, I can promise I spent more time working on my degree (not "certificate") during those four years than anything else so...yeah.
Fall is bringing us some beautiful weather so I'm off to enjoy it. Toodles! ;)
xoxo,
LL
