Do you have difficulty with Shabbat / Sabbath / Rest Days?

One of the reasons I work on my book every day is that when I'm not working on my book, I don't have much else to do. I don't leave the house due to weather and fears of catching covid. So if I'm not online, I don't have too much to do. I don't like to watch movies cause I like happy stories and movies are all about tragedy and fear and violence and drama. I don't like tv shows cause I think it's all controversy and animosity and hate and self defeating self mockery. And my friends are busy and I have to schedule them in weeks ahead of time.

Well... As a Christian, Sunday is my day of rest (at least in theory, as while I do have time to attend the Holy Mass every Sunday, I'm also usually doing something that could be considered "work" - though it's not exactly for my job - on Sundays).

Now... I agree that the Western movies and TV series are about tragedy and fear, and the TV shows are about animosity and hatred - look no further than my own country for countless examples. However, I've found my earthly relief in anime. While some anime series are somewhat violent, they are usually more complex than their Western equivalents - usually not animated, though - and not centered around violence. And if You want a genuinely happy and inspiring story, the isekai story known as Log Horizon will most definitely cater for this need.

It was a bit annoying when the JCC would shut down on Friday. Had to get in a workout before 4pm. The YMCA is open all week though, the blasphemers!

I don't operate by sabbath schedule so it's frustrating when things get delayed or denied because others operate according to a cyclical shut down schedule. My professor who took classes in Israel before getting his PhD said that if you could not find a taxi home early enough on shabbat night, you would get stranded and have to walk home.
