Friday morning

clear eyed after a good sleep
laundry in the washing machine
sun shining

but what a mess
to clean
clean laundry to sort and fold
and put away

chanukiyot li yesh
Chanukah menorahs, I have
to dewax, de-oil
de-display
and those greasy, glass cups
to clean

but it's a sunny day

that means
dry, drought

must look at the bright side
laundry can be hung in the sun
don't have to "smile makes a nice umbrella"

two guests for Shabbat lunch
must finish cooking
can't complain

Shabbat Shalom
