I’ve officially been twelve now for a couple of hours as I
write this, but I’m not trying for a two-day celebration; so I’ll leave the
birthday recap for tomorrow night.
It’s been a busy day, and mostly fun; with a couple of exceptions. The first came courtesy of my peripheral
involvement in the Grade Seven tween drama that continues thanks to Michael’s
decision to continue joining Rowen and me for our Tuesday-Thursday lunchtime
music practices despite knowing that it annoys his girlfriend. I suppose I should be glad that I haven’t
crossed over and have to deal with those kinds of issues directly, but none of
this stuff with Lisa is fun for me now; and there doesn’t seem to be anything I
can do to make things better.
The second exception to a pretty good day came courtesy of
Aunt Leanne while we were at game night.
I had been hoping that being an expecting Mom might distract her from at
least one of her matchmaking missions, but Michael and I both soon found out
that she was still actively on the job.
I am so glad that there won’t be a Valentine’s Day game night next
Thursday!
For the record, Aunt Leanne, Michael didn’t need to be
reminded about my birthday; the fact that he did know isn’t the big deal you
tried to make of it; and while the rest of your comments, jokes, and nudges
seemed to entertain you; they just made life a bit tougher for Michael and
me. Here we go with yet another Friday
when I wish calling in sick was an option.
The best parts of the day, ironically, also included our
lunchtime music practice and game night at the Inn. Music practices are always fun despite the
downside problems; Mom and Dad won the senior championship; and Rowen would
suggest that we had fun with everything tonight, including Aunt Leanne’s
teasing, jokes, and matchmaking efforts.
That may have been true for Rowen, but I’ll only concede that a couple
of Aunt Leanne’s jokes made me laugh for real.
We had some fun during our classes today too, and my family
business work went great. After getting
home from the Inn, we were all in on the full
bath and bedtime routine for Ethan and Ehlana; and had fun with that for more
than an hour before they were tucked in to their beds for the night. Mom and Dad both went to work in the office
after that, and I’ve been in my room since then; doing my usual nightly
computing and studies.
Rowen and I are planning on staying up late tomorrow night
and doing a movie marathon, so I should have been sleeping an hour or more ago;
but got side-tracked for a while in our Magi Project archive. It was a bit weird to see that Uncle Adam had
already added a file for Aunt Leanne’s pregnancy, but being able to get more
involved with that part of our project is going to be a lot of fun too.
I could get off-track again writing about that for a while,
but I really do need to get some rest, so...
...until next time, this is Magi Master Cassie Proctor;
logging out!
