Much to do

sky overcast
wash to hang and more to do
repairman, G-d willing, on Sunday to replace heating element

lots to clean
no real help

tutor job in an hour

so must get off computer, shower, get dressed, doven, eat

and guests for Shabbat
it is Shabbat HaGadol, the great Shabbat the abused one before Pesach

It's called the great to remember that it is Shabbat, regardless of what a mess the house is and how we really don't want to take a break from Pesach preparations
but Shabbat takes precedence over all the holidays. Only Yom Kippur can cancel Shabbat. It's the only fast that can, the only day that can. Other fast days are postponed to Sunday, or done early from Friday to Thursday.

So we must remember that it is going to be Shabbat, before Pesach, and after there's plenty of time for what's really necessary.

Shabbat HaGadol Shalom!
