Jan. 28th, 2008
Friday
-- Worked until 1:30 PM (my usual early-Shabbat Friday leaving time)
-- Ran assorted (blessedly short) errands
-- Got home ~2:30 PM
-- Did prep-for-Shabbat stuff (set up hot plate, set up lights and Shabbat alarm clock, water plants, etc.)
-- Lit Shabbat candles early (with intention that Shabbat didn't actually start until, well, Shabbat-starting time)
-- Started walking with![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
mabfan to shul for Mincha, Kabbalat Shabbat, and Ma'ariv
-- About 2 blocks in, was encountered by shul-member-in-car, who offered us a ride. Yay, no hill-walking.
-- Davened, then shmoozed so we wouldn't be too early to dinner
-- Walked with two guys from shul back to their place, as our dinner invitation was to their next-door neighbors
-- Had excellent dinner with lovely and lively conversation with our hosts and their other guests
-- Got home ~10:45 PM or so
-- Went to sleep not long thereafter
Saturday
-- Got up, put lunch food on hotplate, got ready for shul
-- Went to shul, saw lots of folks (some of whom asked after my whereabouts last Shabbat)
-- Hung out at kiddush for a while, shmoozed with folks
-- Eventually went home, as we had lunch guest coming
-- Lunch guest (coming from opposite direction from us) and we arrived at home approximately same time. Good timing all around.
-- Yay for food being hot on our arrival home. Made salad (thanks to donated bag-o'-salad and tomato) very quickly
-- Ate, shmoozed, good time was had by all
-- After lunch, went to visit friends. Stayed with them through Havdallah.
-- After Havdallah, went home, changed for evening out.
-- Waited ridiculous amount of time for cab to actually pick us up. Good there was a reception-y thing prior to start of event.
-- Event in question was performance by Yisrael Campbell. Was very funny.
-- After event, dessert bar. Hung out there shmoozing, then got ride home from shul members also in attendance.
Sunday
-- Got up. Noted presence of snow. Did not feel it qualified as "flurries" as advertised, unless "flurries" now including "1-3 inches."
-- Spoke tolcmlc and finalized plans for my visit out there.
-- Helpedmabfan get ready to head out to HRSFA reunion.
-- Got ready to head out myself, heard frommabfan that bus still hadn't arrived.
-- Left home and saw bus coming from Coolidge Corner through haze of flying snow.
-- Got on bus (eventually... took the bus a much longer time than usual to come up from Coolidge Corner), calledmabfan to tell him bus was heading his way.
-- Met up withmabfan on bus, traveled together to Harvard Square
-- Continued on to Alewife, where Abba met me (in the AbbaTaxi) and drove me to Chez ImaAbba
-- Visited withlcmlc and Abba and cooked lots of food for them (lasagna-ziti hybrid; salmon dish with sauteed veggies; Santa Fe salad), and then shoveled their stairs and walk (and a path to the mailbox).
-- Came home, had dinner, watched some TV, did other stuff I'm not remembering, went to sleep.
Am in the office today; my brain hasn't 100% caught up with me yet, but I've been productive nonetheless.
