Two steps forward, three steps back

This past fortnight hasn't gone too well. I have been full of a cold and have missed three weeks of synagogue. I went for my lesson on Sunday morning (starting the Aleinu) and my teacher said she thought I might be dyslexic. Which isn't exactly a compliment on my learning speed. I've not yet finished the book on prayer I'm currently reading, which is annoying because I wanted to have completed that last week. I still have time before the class though, so I'd better get my skates on!

Maybe it's not so bad. Maybe I'm just annoyed because I had thought my progress was improving and now I've reached another impasse it frustrates me. It could be because I'm bunged up, have no voice, can't sleep at night and then can't do anything apart from sleep during the day. If I had a job, I'd have certainly taken most of last week off with this cold!

Here's hoping next week sees some improvement. I'm off to read about Jewish prayer.
