Cassie's Journal - April 1, 2013



The first April Fool’s Day joke was waking up to winter after having such a beautiful Spring Easter Sunday.  It was freezing out – literally – and while we didn’t get any rain or snow; it was a dull, chilly start to the month and morning.

The weather may have put a damper on the joke enthusiasts at school; though holiday weekend food and Easter candy overload could have been contributing factors too.  Rowen and I only had to deal directly with one prankster, and Patrick’s attempts to spring his little gags on us on the way to school were not particularly successful – though he seemed happy enough just to get the laughs from us and some of the other kids and teens around us at the time.  I’m glad we didn’t have any problems with that in class – my hugs just don’t have the same effect on the Grade Seven boys anymore; and seem to get me into trouble more often than not these days.

We’re starting an eight-week stretch between holiday weekends today, and our teachers weren’t playing a joke on us when they started right in on what will be a big work push between now and Memorial Day.  The weather seemed appropriate for that too, at least from the perspective of some of our classmates; but Rowen and I both had a pretty good day even with the wintry weather and extra school work.  A little Magi power assistance let us get the homework out of the way quickly after we got back to my house, and then we stayed inside and played with Ethan, Ehlana, and Mandy; none of us interested in going to the park or anywhere else outside.  The sun came out from behind the clouds, and it warmed up a few degrees above freezing, but compared to the last few days; it was just too cold for us.  We had another music practice time that Ethan and Ehlana used a little telekinesis and elemental manipulation for so they could play too.  Ethan wanted to play video games for a while after that, so we tried out a new game he’d gotten for Easter until it was time for Rowen to go home and for me to help Mom with making dinner.

The rest of the evening has pretty much been standard school and work night action – Magi lessons; Dad’s work in the office; Ethan and Ehlana’s bedtime routine without the bath; and my nightly bedtime computing and studies.  We didn’t exactly get a spring-like start to April, but it is supposed to warm back up again over the next few days; and I really hope we’ve just about seen the last of the white fluffy stuff until next winter.  For right now, though, one last, short winter’s nap is all I’m interested in doing, so...

...until next time, this is Magi Master Cassie Proctor; logging out!
