2 days of quiet here again. Our daughter’s public preschool restarted half days for most kids and full days for those with parents in the reserves or essential jobs. The preschool shared photos of the kids practicing evacuating to the protected room and sitting around singing songs. Of all the kids, our daughter had the biggest I’m bored face and was held by a member of staff. She doesn’t like story time when it’s in the classroom and very much more doesn’t like it in the protected room. Otherwise, she did great getting back in the rhythm of school.

Restaurants are starting to reopen for dine in. We had dinner at the sushi bar downstairs. We knew that a former manager had escaped the festival in the Negev. We didn’t know that 2 employees were killed. That certainly brought the pain of the event home.

I find myself in an old pattern where I stay up late to ensure someone is coherent if there’s a late night red alert 🚨. I can take a nap after we drop our daughter off at preschool and I know she’s safe as they have a strong protected room there.
