It’s been a yard work day from shortly after we finished
breakfast until we stopped for a late dinner.
Aunt Leanne was away for most of the day doing final wedding
dress fittings with Aunt Grace, Aunt Alison, and Grandma Mercy. That’s why Mom, Dad, and I spent most of the
afternoon helping Uncle Adam at his house.
Spending the morning working on his own convinced him to hire a couple
of the teens who cut lawns and do general yard work for summer jobs. I’m really glad to hear that, because I spent
just a bit too much time on a riding lawn mower today; though I at least didn’t
have to do all of the work that needs to be done with a push mower too.
We’re getting some rain tonight, but only had a few little
showers to deal with during the rest of the day. Dad and I just grabbed a quick lunch and kept
going; so we probably didn’t even take three-quarters of an hour in total
breaks before calling it a day when Mom and Aunt Leanne had dinner ready for
all of us at seven. The top dinner topic
was Aunt Leanne’s recap of the dress fittings and wedding shopping afternoon;
and she and Mom did a little wedding plans update meeting too. It’s hard to believe that the wedding is just
four weeks from today!
I wasn’t the only one who was pretty much out of steam by
then, but I was the first to head for bed; though I made a side-trip to visit
my Jacuzzi first. It was time to get out
of the tub when I started dozing off about twenty minutes after getting in; and
I used a little Magi power to speed up getting my hair dried so I could climb
into bed with Mandy even sooner. My
nightly computing has been quick too, with the only news to report being an
email from Dawn and Aunt Melissa that included pictures of Violet and Dillon
before they left for Violet’s senior prom.
That wasn’t even something I’d thought about at all today, but I really
hope they’re having fun tonight. I’ll
get the details from Violet tomorrow, since Dillon’s version wouldn’t be nearly
as interesting or complete.
While my day hasn’t been exciting at all compared with
shopping or proms, working all day has gotten me one half of the tweeird-free
weekend I was hoping for; and I’m exhausted enough that I don’t expect to have
any problems in dreamland either. Add in
the fact that I’m pretty much done with my first period now; and I’d say
everything is starting to look much better for the last six days until summer
holidays.
Now if we could just get Mother Nature to give us a lot more
sun and less rain; we’ll be all set for those long, lazy summer days!
That’s it, that’s all, folks, so...
...until next time, this is Magi Master Cassie Proctor;
logging out!
