Dad and I started out our day with more snow shoveling
instead of Tai Chi, but it was a lot easier to deal with today; and we even
managed to have a little fun while we worked.
Mom took care of Ethan and Ehlana, and had a hot cereal
breakfast ready for us by the time we were finished, and after cleaning the
kitchen; it was time to hit the showers and get ready for work and school.
Despite the sledding incident yesterday, there wasn’t really
any tweeird for me to deal with today.
Lisa didn’t really talk to me at all, and definitely kept an eye on
Michael and me during music class; but we stayed out of trouble, and at least
that part of my day was uneventful. We
were all kept really busy in our classes, and though the two snow storms hadn’t
actually affected our Day One classes; our teachers still seemed to feel the
need to work us a little harder to make up for the lost days. The school was practically empty during
lunchtime – at least once everyone had eaten.
Even some of our teachers came outside to play for a while; and nearly
every kid and teen was in the school yard, even if they were only there to
watch the action and chat with friends.
I was trying to balance having fun with staying out of the
tweeird zone, so Rowen and I decided to help some younger girls with a little
snow castle building. We helped them
defend it during a snowball attack from some of the boys their ages; and then
we went inside a few minutes early so we’d have enough time to de-snow
ourselves before going to our first afternoon class.
Keeping my day tweeird-free wasn’t a problem after school –
Michael was working at the Inn. Rowen and I did our after school snack with
Mom, Ethan, and Ehlana; got our homework out of the way; and then we took the
twins out for a little snow play time in the back yard. The deep snow wasn’t quite as much fun for
them today, and they were ready to go in after about twenty minutes or so. After helping Mom to get them out of their
snowsuits, Rowen and I grabbed our sleds and headed for the toboggan hill. There was already a gang of kids and teens
there, and the fun was in full swing.
The snow was getting packed down farther out along the bottom of the
ridge now, so the runs were longer – and so was the walk back up the hill. We were out there for about an hour before we
were cold enough to decide that it was time to head home again.
Rowen was staying for dinner and a Magi lesson, so we made
up cups of hot chocolate after getting home, and helped Mom with making dinner
until Dad got home too. The next few
hours were fairly entertaining. Mom and
Dad had a lot of snowstorm stories from around town to pass on to us during
dinner; Ethan, Ehlana, Rowen, and I all had a blast (not literally) with our
Magi lesson; and Rowen and I even had time for a music practice before she
needed to head home. I helped Mom with giving
Ethan and Ehlana their baths after Rowen left; we did the bedtime snack and
story with Dad in the office; and I’ve been in my room since tucking my brother
and sister in for the night.
Since I was in bed early, I used the extra time for a little
family business work, and then moved on to my usual studies and nightly
computer checks. There isn’t anything
particularly interesting to report from any of the work I’ve been doing since
climbing into bed with Mandy, and I’m pretty much ready to crash now anyway,
so...
...until next time, this is Magi Master Cassie Proctor;
logging out!
