I’ve had a wonderfully social last few days.
On Wednesday a bunch of us hung out with
![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
surrealestate to celebrate her birthday. It was a delightful gathering in honour of a delightful person!
plumtreeblossom and I had a great time.
plumtreeblossom and I went back to her place afterwards, so I got to wake up next to my sweetie and have coffee with her. On my way in to work Thursday I got Grigori Yefimovich¹ inspected.
Thursday after work I met
cathijosephine, and drove with her to
xmelancholia’s, where we caught up for a while,
cathijosephine gave
xmelancholia some excellent socks, and I got to play with big huge wonderful friendly dogs (a mastiff and a German shepherd). Yay for doggie time! And yay for seeing
xmelancholia; it had been too long.
Friday
docorion had arranged to get group-rate tickets to see
Handel’s Messiah performed by the
Handel and Haydn Society at
Symphony Hall (very near where I work). My typical inability to get anywhere on time was in evidence, but in a somewhat unusual fashion: I somehow managed to get there an hour
early. Anyway, I crashed
docorion’s dinner nearby and at the
correct time, we were all back at Symphony and
plumtreeblossom and the rest of the group congregated successfully. The concert was delightful, although I felt a little odd at something so liturgical. I had never been inside Symphony Hall before, and I loved checking out the décor. I’d have loved to see what the original paint job looked like (there was very elaborate moulding and detail work, but it had all been repainted in a neutral colour). I think we all had a great time. Thanks,
docorion!
Saturday
plumtreeblossom and I got together with
dan4th and
dabunny at their place and ordered in Thai food and had a lovely time. Along the way, I learned probably three or four little facts about hockey, which at least doubles what I know about the game.
This morning (Sunday morning, although I guess technically I mean “yesterday morning” at this point),
plumtreeblossom and I had a yummy and relaxed brunch at
The Burren, and then I came home and resumed work on my plumbing.
My life is good!

I know what you mean about feeling odd at something so liturgical. There's a lot of classical music that I can't listen to because it's so churchy, even though I'd probably like it if it weren't full of Kyrie Elaisons.
YOU got someplace AN HOUR EARLY?! Geeze, Jay, you should have smelling salts on hand when you tell a person that. *grin* *tease*
Hey, wanna get together sometime soon? More Jay is always good!
