In handy-dandy bulletpoint format:
Friday
-- Got up at regular time
-- Did lots of Shabbat prep (without the crazy running-around bits, for once)
-- Ran a couple of errands in the neighborhood
-- Brought in Shabbat on time (without even using the 18 minutes at all)
-- Relaxing dinner with
mabfan: mac & cheese and homemade challah and homemade pumpkin pie (along with other stuff)
-- Early to bed, early to sleep
Shabbat
-- Shul with not-such-a-surprise kiddush for
queendeb
-- Lunch with many people (
mabfan,
elul_3,
joules314, their kids,
mbarr, who was visiting,
maric23, his parents, and A)
-- Quiet motza"sh at home with
mabfan, watching stuff on TV and DVD (lots of SG-1)
Sunday
-- Made pancakes for breakfast (since had milk left over from making mac & cheese for Shabbat dinner)
-- Knit and watched football while
mabfan visited with former student
-- Met with
lucretia_borgia and other shul friend about stuff
-- Home, dinner with
mabfan, more SG-1
Monday
-- Up early.
-- Went with
mabfan to Boston Museum of Science for the CSI: The Experience exhibit (closing 1 January). Was quite enjoyable (we did Case #2, the body in the alley).
-- From museum, went to Loews Boston Common theater to see "National Treasure: Book of Secrets." Assessment: Ludicrous but fun.
-- Went home. Ate late lunch. Watched a bit of TV.
-- Went back out to Circle Cinema to see "Charlie Wilson's War." Assessment: enjoyable and thought provoking. Yay for Sorkin script. Boo for Sorkin-script-but-no-Josh-Malina.
-- After film, home to catch up on sleep from getting up early and running around like semi-crazed monkeys.
Tuesday
-- Quiet morning at home. More SG-1, as SciFi channel showing marathon (all of season 9, it seemed).
-- Out to see Juno. Assessment: Funny and sweet, very enjoyable.
-- After movie, late lunch at Ta'am China, thus fulfilling the two mitzvot of the day (for those of us in cities. Those in the arei haprazot are not m'chuyav in both Chinese food and movie if, for them, Chinese food is not available).
-- At TC, ran into
mbarr,
maric23 and A. After browse in Israel Book Shop, brought them all back to our place briefly. Got to see
chanaleh and
jessruth when they came to get
mbarr.
-- Spent quiet evening at home. Knit more on TARDIS.
Wednesday (AKA today)
-- Slept in slightly while
mabfan went workward.
-- Ran various errands, then went to meet
mabfan for lunch at Milk St.
-- After lunch, ran other errands, then came home. Knit more TARDIS.
-- Meeting friends (including
llennhoff and
malkaesther) for dinner

Date: 2007-12-27 01:41 am (UTC)This leniency is on true in Eretz Yisrael; in the diaspora you are expected to travel to a city if you do not have Chinese food available. However, in cases of extreme hardship it is permitted to fulfill the mitzvot with La Choy and Netflix.
In walled cities you are commanded to fulfill both mitzvot a day later, but many hold to the chumrah of also observing them on the 25th.
whoosh!
