In my best clothes.

The other day, I sorted my jeans and trousers to have something to do; yesterday, I pulled out a pair of jeans and it wasn't until I put them on that I realized they're a pair of jeans I've had since grad school. Possibly since college. And they still fit just fine.

Also fine was finding I've built enough endurance over just a few days to take a major ascent in a nearby park. Yes, with momentum from a nearby descent feeding into it, and yes, on the lowest gear setting, and still, something I'm proud to have done.

Not so pleasantly, the family Seders are cancelled this year. There's workarounds with other nearby relatives who aren't so high-risk as my parents, but it was a major blow this morning. I'll have to pick up Shabbat candles sometime tomorrow, and be grateful I live in a city where they're sometimes carried in grocery stores.

Passover this year is such an odd thing; given I'm a single convert, I've always done a combination of my shul's community seder + second night at either my rabbi's or cantor's house. That's not happening and I have the daunting task of figuring out how to run a seder for myself for the first time.
