Holiday play time has
arrived at school!
The tests and quizzes have ended; last projects and
assignments have been handed in; and we’ll mostly be spending the week having
fun and doing things like crafts and games.
At home, the day started out early and not quite a cheery;
since saying goodbye to Dad for a week is always tough. The cuddle time with Mom, Ethan, and Ehlana
after he’d left was nice, though, and with Christmas Eve just a week away now,
you can’t keep three fired-up Magi Master kids down for long. Mom and I exercised; we all had breakfast;
and then I got ready for school before heading out to meet up with Rowen for a
chilly walk to school.
Fast forward to the end of our first holiday-fun-day there,
and with no homework to do; Rowen and I could get right to the after-school
play time. We took Ethan and Ehlana out
for a walk and visit to the park; had a music practice in the lounge; and had a
nice long telepathic chat while watching Christmas music videos in the lounge
until dinnertime. Rowen stayed for that,
but then headed home when we needed to head over to Uncle Adam and Aunt
Leanne’s; where we were combining cooking with our last Magi healing lesson of
the year and family business meeting.
Tonight, we had a special guest for our lesson, and though
that doesn’t happen all that often; it is really cool to be training with the
town doctor; and be able to help heal other Magi so that they either don’t need
to go through long conventional medicine therapies, or extended
recoveries. Tonight, we healed an
infection, and while we were at it; took care of some annoying arthritis. If Uncle Adam didn’t already have that job
covered, I could love being a full-time Magi Healer.
The business meeting part of the night was held in the
kitchen while Mom, Aunt Leanne, and Uncle Adam continued the pre-cooking
mission. They weren’t going to have a
house full until Sunday night, but about half of the Johnson-McEwan family was
coming for a five-day weekend; and would be getting to town either Friday night
or Saturday morning. I’d love to have
our family home too, but it’s the other half of their collective families’ turn
to spend Christmas with them this year.
We will have an awesome New Year’s weekend though!
Getting back to business, Aunt Leanne had most of the new
business news from her work, and she has some amazing projects planned for the
next couple of years. She’s buying up
distressed property all over the world, and we’re all going to get involved
with helping out those economically-devastated communities with everything from
low-income housing to new businesses and opportunities. Aunt Leanne’s goal for some of these
endeavors is to create self-sustaining communities; and then set them
free. Sometimes it’s hard to see the
glimmers of hope with everything else going on around the world; but I love
being a part of something that really is starting to make a real difference.
It’s getting late, so let’s move this along. We stayed and worked until nearly ten-thirty;
Mom and I took Ethan and Ehlana home and had them in bed by eleven; and I’ve
been in bed, studying and working on my computer since then. My archive homework from the healing lesson
is done; I read three books in two different languages; and have the rest of my
usual nightly computing finished. I was
going to write about some of the grapevine news at school from the dance and
weekend, and there was some sports news that the guys thought was important
from pro and college football; but since this journal entry has managed to be
weird-free; let’s keep it that way.
Say ‘goodnight, Cassie’.
“Goodnight, Cassie.”
