I’m pleased to share that I have plans for Rosh Hashana. I am going to my cousin with one of my other cousins. BH, so grateful this fell into place. I think I’ll be at my parents for the rest of the Yomim Tovim and that’s fine as it was mostly Rosh Hashana that I worried about. However, I did cycle through several possible Succos plans (until we – my cousin and me – concluded that things were too complicated/expensive).
My inner monologue about Yom Tov plans has sounded like Green Eggs and Ham.
I do not want to spend Yom Tov at a singles event.
I do not want to spend Yom Tov with couples.
I do not want to spend Yom Tov around people who know me [and will be privately oyying that another year has gone by…]
I do not want to spend Yom Tov with strangers.
I do not want to be holed up in my room over Yom Tov.
I do not want to leave my room over Yom Tov.
And on it goes! Do you relate?
