We’ve had a beautiful, hot, sunny day that’s mostly been wasted while we were at school; and then studying for our next tests. Rowen and I did take our computers over to the park so we could at least be outside. Some of our classmates had the same idea, so we studied together, and had fun doing that; but we’d have all rather been playing, canoeing, biking, or nearly anything else except work or chores.
Mom had a healing lesson for Uncle Adam and me after dinner, and then we had a little impromptu meeting in the office to talk about family business issues; the Magi project; and the latest with our future plans. With Violet coming to spend the summer with us in two weeks, and now that she and Dillon have just one year left before college, one of the next priorities that will mostly be up to Uncle Adam and Mom is to nudge both of them into getting the education they’ll need for the jobs we see them doing. There were some issues to discuss with the timing for the start of the infrastructure projects we’ll need to start later this year to be ready to build the housing we’ll need; and we also made a few decisions on approaching a few people about jobs that are either for one of the construction projects or the family business.
I came up to my room after that wrapped up and we put Ethan and Ehlana to bed, but have been working on my computer since getting changed and snuggling with Mandy. There were some test and exam related email updates waiting for me from Dawn and Violet; a funny note from Mark; and a ‘mind my own business’ request from Grace that I have every intention of ignoring. This is one instance where the kid actually does know best!
My language studying is coming right along, and I still plan on mostly taking the summer off from that. I spent an hour working in the archives, and once I get this journal entry done, I’m going to get some sleep. Nine more school days – eight and a half if you count the nearly half-day off a week from Friday, and seven and a half if you don’t count the play day next Thursday. There are still eleven sleeps until summer holidays, and I’m ready to get one of them started right now, so...
