Happy 14th birthday, Martin!
We’d left a gift with Aunt Melissa for Martin when we were
in Woodvale, and called while having breakfast to wish him a happy birthday;
but I’m not sure whether Martin was awake enough to even remember that call
later. He and Chris hadn’t even gotten
to bed until a couple of hours before we called after pulling an all-nighter
gaming marathon with some of their buddies.
There’d been girls at the party last night too, but for some reason,
none of their parents were willing to authorize a boy-girl sleepover.
While my cousin probably went back to sleeping away another
hour or five of his big day, we continued on with our normal Sunday morning
routine. At church, practicing and
getting ready for Easter was once again what most of the kids and teens did
during Sunday school; and Rowen and I continued our work on props, decorations,
and costumes.
Since Rowen and I hadn’t spent any time together since
Friday afternoon, she was set free after church to have lunch with us, and hang
out with me for the afternoon until she needed to be home for family dinner
plans. Mom and Dad both had work they
wanted to do in the office after lunch, so Rowen and I had Ethan and Ehlana with
us for most of the afternoon. We played
outside for a while, but it wasn’t as warm today, and there’s a lot of slush
and mud around right now that isn’t much fun to play in; thanks to the
combination of warmer weather, rain, and fast-melting snow.
We had fun with a music practice in my room that included
more Magi-powered air drumming from Ethan that Rowen loved. Ehlana got the rest of us to have some
science lab play time with her after that; we watched some cartoon shorts on
television; and had a nice long telepathic chat about everything from Mom’s
birthday next weekend to Easter bunnies and holiday fun plans. Rowen and I both thought that she had to go
home way too soon, but at least we’re only five days away from March Break.
It’s been another quiet night here at home. We had an early dinner, and then Mom and Dad
both did Magi lessons with Ethan, Ehlana, and me. I came up to bed early, and even though I
finished all of my usual school night studying; I’m going to be sleeping before
midnight again with time to spare.
That’s probably a good thing, since I’m going to put in extra study time
this week; and not do anything except homework and anything that comes up for
the family business during our week off.
With Dad getting ready for his week in the city, and
everything else we all have on the go; those of us who can enjoy the holiday
are likely going to be ready for the down time by Friday. I’m ready for some down time right now, so...
...until next time, this is Magi Master Cassie Proctor;
logging out!
