Its a late season. Rosh Hashana is really late this year. No rush at all.

OP, you are on to something. If you can streamline your yom tov with some prep now, do so, but don't totally sacrifice what's left of summer if you have a choice.

If I tempt everyone with some beach and sun, maybe I can get them to eat leftovers, and leave the fleishig cooking for tomorrow.....

I feel like I've put my whole house thru the washing machine by now.

I get the OP.

I like to be ahead, although it doesn't seem to work for me lately.

Definitely browsing online, though only to see what is already out there. Local stores will probably start to bring in the new line soon, and I hate to shop when everybody shops and being pressured to buy before there are no more sizes left.

I am not starting to bake or cook until at least Rosh Chodesh Elul.

Everyone needs to work at their own pace. YT does not come earlier because someone already cooked the tzimmes or baked a honey cake.

You're way ahead of me. I'm trying to finish up all my work projects so I can go away with a clear conscience next week. Laundry will have to wait. My cleaning lady is doing it - probably wrong - but too bad.

Or reheat Shabbos leftovers, from this week and last (frozen).

There is always exactly the same amount of time btwn 9Av and rh. Every single year. But I agree with you. Enjoy NOW, now.

While we're at it, 4 yr old b/g coordinating coats, decently priced. If anyone comes across such...
