It’s been a fairly quiet day, and I don’t have much to report.
Rowen and I went biking; took a picnic with us; and ended up spending most of our time hanging out around the park or riding out along the river. We had dinner with Mom, Uncle Adam, Aunt Leanne, and the twins; and then had our baseball practice. Our last regular season game is on Saturday morning, and I think we’re ready for it. Whether we win or not won’t matter for us, since we’ve already won the home team spot in the Championship game, but it definitely does matter to the Ridge River Gypsies and Witch Falls Wayfarers. We’ll just play our best against the Gypsies, and not worry about which team ends up in the Championship game with us.
Uncle Adam and Aunt Leanne had dinner with us for two reasons. Mom and Aunt Leanne needed to work on the shopping trip plans for next Monday, and we had a Magi Healing lesson after I got home from baseball. With less than a week to go, Aunt Leanne’s guessing that we’ll end up with somewhere between eighty and ninety shoppers. Hopefully it won’t affect Rowen and me, but there are going to be a few boys going along this year too – including Patrick and Scott. Basically, some of the Moms – like Rowen’s – don’t want to make two trips to Crystal Springs. I’d suggest they get the guys to start up a father-son back-to-school trip; but after taking a moment to picture a gang of seventy or eighty of the guys from around here shopping for clothes at the Mall, the whole idea is probably absurd and unworkable.
Anyway, while I’m now trying to get that mental disaster scene out of my head, I’ll move on to our Healing lesson.
Uncle Adam and I were both really glad to get back to doing our lessons with Mom, and she spent an hour or so teaching us a fairly cool technique that can help purge viruses and bacteria from the body. That happens automatically for Mom, Ethan, Ehlana, and me; but that’s a lot different than understanding what’s happening, and being able to make that happen in other people. Uncle Adam doesn’t have the same automatic self-healing that we do; though he can consciously heal himself just as he can heal others, so this lesson was particularly helpful for him.
We both had archive homework to go along with the lesson, and after doing the bedtime routine with the twins, I came up to bed and have been doing that, and my usual nightly computing, for the past few hours. I wasn’t really thinking about it until Mom and Aunt Leanne started talking shopping trips, but we’ll be starting school again three weeks from today. Grade Seven. The good news includes getting Jenny’s Mom for our teacher again; and Rowen will be going through it all with me. The scary part is wondering if our year will be a strange as we thought last year was for Rebecca and Jenny.
Don’t go there, Proctor!
Rowen and I are both working in the morning, and this seems like a very good time to wrap this up and call it a night, so...
