Oh what a day

Bubby Shemtov passed away. She was my first neighbor when we moved to Crown Heights. My memories of her from when I was a kid are actually pretty scary. She was always sticking her head out the window and screaming at us in the driveway to "pick up the gaaaarbage" (with a very strong Brooklyn accent). We just ran away. But we were kids, c'mon what did we know.

She was a great person and I'm sad she is gone. Too many great people are dying. I guess we either need some more great people in the world, or Moshiach. Or both.

Of course I was up at 2 am yesterday, so I got roped into babysitting the little kids while the family went to the levaya. I had to go. They are always there for us, it seems payback is necessary.

Slight problem: my friend was getting married tonight, (as I write this she is already married). The wedding was in New Jersey, and there was a bus going from CH to the wedding, leaving at 3:30. I couldn't find anyone to replace me for babysitting. Luckily my parents let me drive to the wedding.

I changed countless diapers today, fed and made bottles and entertained four little kids. Very cute little kids, but a handful.

I went to the wedding. Got there late, but that suited me fine since I don't really like weddings or dancing. (Not sure how I'm gonna attend my own. I'm considering eloping). The plus side was that I got to show off my new dress and really (substitute hottttt for) cute shoes I bought.

Now I'm home. I was tired and had to keep myself from falling asleep on the way there. My friend came on the way back so the chatter kept me awake.

It's been a long day. I can't even remember waking up...
