Amoeba Man Strikes Again!

Shabbat was highly unusual. It felt like Shabbat. It tasted like Shabbat. It even smelled like Shabbat. So then why was it unusual?
Friday night, being in pain I did not go to shul. Lori went though, so kol hakavod to her. Supper was very funny and no... I was not drunk. After supper, Lori and Zalman dissappeared. So did Eema and Abba, but I dont think they all ran away together. Surprise inspection!!!!
Brenda, Ezri, and Avi decided that we should play Uno, so we did. There sure were a lot of sound effects though. And then I taught Brenda how to play backgammon. How do you explain to someone about the classic moves? I think you just need enough experience before you catch on to the classic rules.
Shabbat morning I spent setting the table and trying to get Avi to behave. We then had some more noisy games of Uno and then the Zitters came over for lunch. It was quiet a long and enjoyable meal and soon it was time for mincha. I saw the woof there and then walked home with Abba and Avigdor and once I got home, it wasnt long before Eli, Coren, Maayana and Aderet showed up :) We hung monkeys on her and she went wild when she realized the resemblence between them and one of her uncles...
After Shabbat I washed the dishes and now my hands feel icky. I guess it was worth it though.

I once heard that to really feel Shabbat you need to really be open and be there and to want to feel Shabbat. There is no other feeling quite like it. If you really open yourself up to it and really feel shabbat when its there, then of course, motzi shabbat will feel strange because Shabbat is gone...
