there is a feeling that you should just go home
S. is sick and I almost didn't go to Kickboxing tonight, but I bullied myself out the door when I finally admitted I didn't have a good enough excuse not to go. I was glad I went, as I always am.
Tonight I made kasha varnashkes, just like my mother makes (though she hasn't made it in a very long while). As soon as I poured in the water and it started simmering, the smell of it hit me like a great gust of childhood. I didn't cry, but I thought about it for a second. Ah, the limbic system. Of course, my mother never put in diced tofu for a non-carbohydrate protein source, but it made no difference to the taste in the end. The electric chanukiah in the window was lit when I got back from the gym; tomorrow night S. and I'll recite blessings together.

gjstruthseeker was shocked, shocked! to come home and find me working, but our group presentation in Neuro is tomorrow and Powerpoint presentations almost create themselves, but not quite. After Neuro tomorrow, I will be DONE with classes. And not a moment too soon.
