While I wait for the next can of RedBull to kick in, I’m taking a break.
It’s already been 11 straight days of trying to catch up, and I’ve still got over 80 blatt to go. Let’s see, there’s 20 in baba basra, 16 in nidda, 2.5 in shelach, 8 in derech eretz zuta, 22 in balak, and I don’t know what else.
And it’s boring as all get out. I mean, it’s one thing to learn, but just to sit here and shnaim shas v’echad artscroll is driving me out of my mind! (Oh, yeah, and I’m short the artscroll of 3 blatt in taanis.) I haven’t seen my kids in days, and my trophy wife is hiding out at her parents. I’d like to just sit and enjoy yom tov and the sukka, but all I can do is sit and eat shehakol stuff with my nose in my gemara.
At least we have 2 days of shemini atzeres.
