We’ve had another nice day here, and now that we’re really
closing in on the holiday weekend; it’s the top story for most kids and teens
at school.
My report includes the time I spent getting ready for the
weekend, but the time that Rowen and I spent with Liz while getting our hair
done was all fun and no work – at least for us.
Our Moms had booked those appointments for right after school, so we’d
gone to the salon from there; and then we split up after that so we could each
get to our part-time jobs.
I haven’t written anything in my journal this week about the
Tornados in Oklahoma,
and that’s mostly because Mom was able to deal with anything our charities
needed for their first response to the worst-hit areas. There were a couple of things I could do to
help tonight, though; and I really loved getting involved – especially since my
efforts were directed at helping the kids and their families.
Ethan and Ehlana were working in the office too while I was
busy with my end of the family business.
They’re busy getting ready for their Grade Eleven final exams, but they
started talking tornados after seeing what I’d been working on. I’m sure that every Magi has wondered about
what it would take to prevent something like that, and though Ethan and Ehlana
have already learned why we shouldn’t try and the potential for even more
serious unintended consequences; that didn’t stop them from calculating the
likely energy output of that two-mile wide tornado; different ways to dissipate
that energy; and how doing that would affect local and regional weather.
I’m pretty good at science, but they’re amazing, and Ehlana
in particular is off-the-charts brilliant in that particular subject. Considering one of her main roles in our
future plans, that’s convenient; and it’s a bonus that she loves science too.
Mom and Dad let us work until dinner was ready, and then we
were all busy for the next few hours while we ate; cleaned up; and Mom and Dad
played baseball with their friends at the park.
Rowen came over after dinner, and she and I took Ethan and Ehlana to the
park too; though we spent most of our time at the playground while Mom and Dad
were busy. Emma Norton hung out with us
too after she got there with her parents; and we added Naomi to the gang when
Philip dropped her off with us before going on to the Fix-it Uppers’
practice. He teased us that Liz hadn’t
come along too because she’d needed to have a nap after trying to keep up with
Rowen and me while she was doing our hair.
From that point on it was a fairly standard parents’
baseball practice night. We were at the
park until it started getting dark; went home; did Magi lessons; and put Ethan
and Ehlana to bed after dunking them in the tub to wash off the parts of the
playground they’d brought home with them.
I spent some time with my Jacuzzi after that for the same reason; and
have been doing my last bedtime study night of the week since then.
That’s all added up to another long day and I’ve stayed up
later than I should have, but everything that I wanted to get done is finished;
and I can hopefully catch up on my sleep tomorrow night. I’ve had enough entertainment for today, and
don’t have anything else to report, so...
...until next time, this is Magi Master Cassie Proctor;
logging out!
