We’ve had some rain this morning, and it’s felt a lot more like
winter than summer today. The only
change that made to our plans today, though, was taking the van to church and
back instead of walking. It was kind of
a lazy morning at our house. Mom, Dad,
and I only worked through a Tai Chi short form; we had cereal or toast for
breakfast; and had time to play a bit while getting ready for the day.
Lily’s birthday dinner and a movie was the top story in our
Sunday school class, and though it sounded like they all had fun; I’m still
glad that I missed out on watching the guys demolish pizzas and chugging
pitchers of pop. They went to see the
latest Twilight movie, and it sounds like at least a few of the couples were
more interested in pretending to be vampires – or just making out – than
watching the show. There’s also a good
chance that at least one or two turtleneck fashion decisions were not made
because of the cold weather; but I really, really did not want to know the details.
Since most of the stores were open again for the Christmas
shopping season, Rowen had lunch with us, and then we were set free to play in
the lounge with Ethan and Ehlana while Mom and Dad got to work in the office. We set up and decorated the little Christmas
tree first, and Ethan and Ehlana helped out with a little telekinetic tree
trimming while we chatted telepathically.
Rowen and I did a bit of work on one of our school projects; we
practiced our Christmas songs on the flute and saxophone; and wrapped up our
afternoon with some cuddle time with the twins and Mandy while watching a
Christmas movie.
Rowen had family dinner plans, so when she went home to get
ready for that, Ethan, Ehlana, and I moved downstairs to the kitchen; and I
started helping Mom with making dinner.
We were going with an easy dinner, and it didn’t really take long to eat
and get the clean-up done. Dad still had
some work to get done for morning, so Mom did a Magi lesson with us; Ethan and
Ehlana had their baths early; and then Dad joined us for an hour of play time
before we put the twins to bed for the night.
I went for a long soak in my Jacuzzi after that, and have
been working on my usual studying and nightly computing. It’s taken me a while to wind down tonight,
and I’ve gotten a fair bit of work done.
Since I don’t plan on doing much work or studying over the holidays,
I’ll be trying to do a bit extra every night for the next couple of weeks – at
least when we’re not too busy having some holiday fun with our family and
friends. There’s a work and school week
to get through before we get to the next major Christmas action, though, and I
should really get some rest, so...
...say ‘goodnight, Cassie’.
“Goodnight, Cassie.”
