One Long Week
This has been a very busy week here, chez howtocover. We came back from that wedding on Sunday by bus, which got us home around 3:30am. While we went back to sleep after, it made for a tired sort of beginning of the week. It was followed by: 2 nights this week that included night seder at the yeshiva until 9pm, cleaning out our last things (and some dirt/mess) from our old apartment so that we're finally done moving, and hosting a sheva brachot meal last night for our friends who got married at that wedding that started the week off. It also involved 2 sets of pre-employment errands: a drug screen and a pre-employment physical.

There are times where I like the idea that a head covering can be a crown (as proven by how I do my head up for weddings and such events), and then there are times when what I want is "just a covering". Today, which involved a physical, including a blood draw to check my immunizations (this usually makes me pretty anxious- but the NP who did my physical was amazing, and I even went into it maintaining my calm much better than I have in the past- maybe I'm growing up), was a "just a covering" day- just something easy that made me feel comfortable and like myself.

There's something so soothing about a just-covering. We cover our heads with a veil during prayer. I remember being young and fighting over the "sparkly" one with my sisters. These days I'm looking for something simple but without being ostentatious about its simplicity :).
ReplyDeleteI guess there is a difference between "simple" and "stark". Simple can be soothing, comfortable, easy. Stark seems like it's approaching ostentation from around the other side of the spectrum.
DeleteI love my simple plan cotton tichels. They feel like good quality bed sheets. They are in lovely colors and are not stark, but they are simple :)
ReplyDeleteSimplicity can be really beautiful- something that I sometimes forget. Thank you for the reminder! And very nice to "meet" you.
