13 October (Monday before Succot)
- 1am: Mike climbs the 8 floors from the parking to our house 4 times carrying the blessed poles that will not fit in the lift.
- 11am: Mike receives bacon-saving sms from the country club and is able to smugly silence nagging wife and tell her to go to the country to pick up palm branches for the roof of the succah.
- 12am: Wife drives home at 20kmh with 10 freshly cut palm branches strapped to the roof of her RunX, 2 branches of tmarim* in the boot, and 2 kids in the backseats with fully wide open windows she forgot to put seat belts on. But at least the palms were securely fastened.
- 3pm: Mike comes home from work and experiences succah déjà vu by climbing the 8 floors twice with palm branches before getting smart and folding the remaining 5 branches in 2 and squashing them by nook and by crook into the lift.
* tmarim = dates
