Work, work, and more work. Esther’s got so many tax-returns to deal with, it’s unlikely she’ll be able to enjoy much of the soon-to-come intermediate days of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sukkot Sukkoth]. Fortunately, she mostly works from home,but still…

My main client has given me a lot to do as well, though his directions are on the vague side and tend to change randomly. There’s a reason I charge by the hour! I’m also (finally) officially going to be starting training for a side-gig doing “patent analysis”. I was introduced to this company by a former business partner of mine (we’ve known each other for almost four decades, and worked together for some 15 years). If this works out, it will be a nice low-pressure way to diversify our income. ''Financial'' Diversity is our Strength!

I finally decided to paint over the wall-repairs done a few months ago by the roofing people. You know, trying to get the house a bit nicer before the Holidays? Well, one of the walls has a few stains on it that seep through the paint, and I’m trying to mask it with multiple coats. It does look a bit better than before, so maybe the next coat…

I made [https://8th-dev.com/forum/index.php/topic,2532.msg14757.html another release of 8th] this week, wanting to get it off my plate before the Holidays. Not an exciting release, but we can’t all be stars, you know?

In genealogical news, a cousin of mine (2C1RA to be precise) sent me a few documents regarding my mother’s mother’s side (the Bloom family). Though I had seen an excerpt of the “yizkor” document before, this time I had the entire manuscript, and it made fascinating reading. Through it I was able to more accurately determine my 2g-grandparent’s places of origin and death dates, as well as uncovering some siblings (of my 2g-gma). More to come next week, I think.

The weather was cooling this week, but it will warm up a touch for the weekend before subsiding slowly over the coming week. Autumn (such as it is in the Middle East) is approaching!

We look forward this ''shabbat'' to:<br>
homemade ''ḥalla'',
chicken and red rice,
roasted veggies,
roasted eggplant,
coleslaw,
various ''salatim'',
and ice-cream.<br>

Until next time,<br>
''shabbat shalom''!
