The Crimson Tide rolled to their third National Championship
in four years last night, and from what I heard around school today; it wasn’t
a good night for the fighting Irish and their fans.
Yes, I did need to check the score this morning before going
to school, though Dad could have given me the update too since he apparently
watched the game on and off while working in the office. I’m not really interested enough to add the
game details, but if you, dear future reader, really want to know them; wiki
it!
For me, today’s highlights were Tai Chi with Mom and Dad and
lunchtime music practice with Rowen and Michael. Don’t go there, Aunt Leanne – we were just
having fun playing music. Rowen and I
were a bit surprised when Michael joined us in the music room for the first
time since he started hanging out with Lisa, but he wants the extra practice
time enough to put up with more saxophone jokes and jabs from the guys. Lisa didn’t look happy with either Michael or
me the next time Rowen and I saw her in our first afternoon class, but there
wasn’t much that I could do about that except keep my mouth shut and stay away
from her boyfriend for the rest of the day – which I did.
I was also glad that it was an after-school work night. My end of the family business wasn’t
neglected at all over the holidays, since I did deal with anything that
absolutely couldn’t wait while I was ‘on vacation’, but there’s always more to
do; and I managed to keep busy from the time I sat down at my work station in
the office until dinnertime. With Alicia
working with Mom, using a little Magi power to help out wasn’t an option, but I
did still manage to get enough done that I didn’t need to keep working after
dinner.
Instead of doing that, Mom had more lessons for Ethan,
Ehlana, and me; we all had a little play time with Dad; and then I helped out
with getting Ethan and Ehlana bathed and in bed before coming up to my room for
the night. Another time-phased study and
nightly computing blast followed, and I’m again ready to hit the pillows before
eleven o’clock. I could get used to the
extra sleep, but it’s still to early to say for sure whether the trade-off to
using the extra power is worth it or not.
Time will tell, but for now...
...until next time, this is Magi Master Cassie Proctor;
logging out!
