Free is Our Friend

Some woman on the street was handing out free passes to a pilates studio and she gave me two by accident.  Josh had to do something jewy today and couldn't meet up with me so the three of us went to the pilates place today.  I figured it would give Alex a solid chunk of time to use my computer without being interrupted to do her homework. 

But when we got there and checked in the guy was like, "There are three of you and two of these passes.  We can't leave such a cute girl out of the class."  Which meant Alex got to play too.  There were not a lot of people there and some guy was like a trainee dude in addition to the teacher. 
It was so good.  All three of us tried really hard and took it seriously.  Except Dani and I cracked up when we heard Alex stage whispering to the trainee guy "You're practically touching my butt," when he was helping her stretch farther.  

I wish we could take pilates classes all the time because I feel so amazing now.  All limber and stretchy.  I told the teacher that afterwards and they said often you can take pilates or yoga as a gym credit in college.  Hope I remember that next year.

Um, the something Jewish that had Josh's attention today would have been Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the year for Jews and the reason you had off from school.

Oh, glad you recalled later on, then!

Also, I realize that your post, written in the early hours of the night, regarded Wednesday, not Thursday (which was "today" when I wrote my comment), so I ought to have written "that had Josh's attention yesterday evening and today" instead.

I forget sometimes that not everybody remembers that in the Jewish calendar days begin in the evening.

Thank you for your nice wishes. Yom Kippur is a solemn holiday, so perhaps ask Josh and his family whether they had a "good" one rather than a "happy" one.

May it be a year with more sweetness and less stress for you and your sisters.

Sounds like fun... and ya, I might've said something too if some strange guy got too close to touching my butt :)
