Do you think 40 hours is enough?

Delegate. You don't have to do everything yourself

My bucher made beautiful miniatures few years ago but claims he is not responsible to set it up, just because he created them. Last year, we had to manage on own because he was away for Tishrei. Before that, it was his domain. This year, as long as he is home, I expect him to pitch in.

No question? Ok

How many wigs do you have

4. One is on its way out. My shaitel macher wanted me to get a new one now, but I wasn't ready. One I reserve for special occasions so hardly use it. One I got for my sons Bar Mitzvah which is quite a stretch so will see how long it will still last.

Nah! I feel like a slow poke, still recovering. Doh came to be me mevaker cholim yesterday. They asked me if they can get me something.
Happens to be that I needed ingredients but I don't go out. Should I have used her as my shik yingel to go to grocery?
My mil claims that I should ask them to send me the whole yom tov from Pomegranate & pay for it, since I am sick so I can't cook.

Yes you should’ve! They made you crazy enough so why not make them crazy too.
Of course my list is with delegation already. But I need to supervise what hangs where in the succah. If I don’t want it to hurt my eyes all Yom tov.
Are you having or being a guest for a meal on succos?

I'm getting asked that a lot, and I'm like "What part of LOCK DOWN don't you understand?" I wish I could go to someone, but I will be alone, just like Pesach and Rosh Hashanah.

If you found a lizard in your house, would you freak out, think it was cute, or just leave it alone so it would eat bugs?

I would think it was cute. It'll find my house boring and go away after awhile.

How do I convince the exterminator to come back and respray?? (when I told him I had to kill a roach a month after he came he said, why?? if you would have just left it it would have died on it's own!)

Do you think this would work?
Do you have to be quick to do it?

They did a home visit because they claimed I didn't pick up their calls! Ha!
They called me million times & I spoke to them some times. She said oh! Sorry! Thanks for listening to me!
Today I got another call, that if I don't pick up or return the call, they will make a home visit again!
At least someone is keeping busy!
Should I give them to wash my floors too, since my cleaning lady is not coming, while I am quarantining?

There’s no lockdown in NY currently and many immediate families are mingling. Like parents in the 40’s who have young couples. Especially those who had the virus already.
I’m sorry that you’ll be alone Sad

Wish I can visit you for a bit. With a hazmat suit, of course.

And how extremely dumb are they that they actually came down to your house while you’re in quarantine? Do they really want to get sick?

They came in a hazmat suit... or at least with a proper mask (N95)

Do you think Covid-19 should have free rein to circulate?

Covid-19 is the biggest mechutzef I met in my lifetime, and it doesn’t give a flying ferret what I think.
Did you hear the expression flying ferret before FF mentioned it?

No.

This reminds me of my girlie, when we were locked in, in the winter, we kept saying Corona is going around. So when we finally went out, she wanted to catch the Corona that's running around in the streets. Put him into jail.

Are kids ever innocent & cute?
Do you find little kids innocent & cute? Anything cute, you heard from their mouths?

Hard to find one that I didn’t share IRL yet. Oh just this week in the bath my little one ran to the other end of the tub when the water went down for fear of going down the drain along with the water. Do they really think they fit into those tiny holes?
What did you accomplish for Yom tov today?

I did all the baking & desserts I don't want to do tomorrow...
challot (just for first days), honey muffins, apple strudel (3, one of them already eaten), babka, chocolate meringues as a by-product to use unused egg whites, and apple sauce (but won't be enough, I need to do more & prune compote)

Will you cook fresh on 2. day yom-tov?

What part of Yom tov do you enjoy most? and least?

Most: Hallel (but no singing in shul because of mechutzef), building & decorating sukka, seudot (with singing!?!), being together, sleeping, sitting in sukkah with warm & dry weather
Least: last-minute against the clock, clearing table, sukkah in rain or cold, dismantling the sukkah..

Is there enough place for men and women in your sukkah, or do you have to split up?
