Busy and Ridiculously Social Weekend
This is what it's been like since Wednesday:
-- Wednesday: Finished my Thanksgiving cooking (I did half and![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
lcmlc did half, and a guest brought a dish): pumpkin bread, crustless pumpkin pie (so more like a pumpkin custard), brisket, stuffing/dressing (it was outside the bird), and cranberry-apricot chutney. Also, saw "Harry Potter and the First Half of the Book Deathly Hallows Part I."
-- Thursday: Thanksgiving dinner atlcmlc and Abba's. Lots of food. Everyone around the table was family. Small crowd: to Muffin and Squeaker, it was Mommy and Daddy, Sabba and Savta, Uncle Bill, and Uncle David. Plus, of course, Muffin and Squeaker. Who loved all the food.
-- Friday: Home withmabfan and Muffin and Squeaker during the day. Cooked Shabbat lunch during girlie nap time. Took advantage of crazy-early licht bentchen (candle lighting at the beginning of Shabbat) (3:58, and that's not the earliest this year) to be able to have dinner out and still be home not too late for girlie bedtime. Also, our next column came out.
-- Saturday: Shabbat. Went to shul after hour-long power outage resolved. Upstairs neighbor had urge to run around our apartment and adjust our timers. Odd impulse that I was glad to take advantage of. ;-) Hosted lunch at our place foraunt_becca and R and B. Much fun was had. Much mac and cheese was consumed.
-- Sunday: Had Lexington-based family visiting for brunch combined withgnomi's Tailoring Services. Security blanket repaired.
-- Today: Up at 3:30 AM with a Muffin who is cutting four new teeth simultaneously. Somehow, Squeaker slept through the hullabaloo but was awake at 6:30. So far I have attended a webinar, made a job-search-related appointment for tomorrow afternoon, and put in a laundry. I am playing the hours thatmabfan is at work as a hermit, only socializing with Muffin and Squeaker and their babysitter.
