The top fun today was probably the afternoon appointments
Rowen and I had with Liz at the salon, with my Magi lesson with Mom; afternoon
break time with Michael; and some trail riding at the park earning honorable
mention.
I should mention the great weather too, since I haven’t done
that lately; and we really are getting a beautiful, hot end to our summer
holidays. Hopefully that comment won’t
jinx us for the holiday weekend; but it really is nice to have the weather
cooperate with all of our outdoor play plans.
Hot, sunny, and warm is nice for Tai Chi by the river too;
and I like starting my day sharing riverside kisses with Michael as much as the
moonlight, goodnight variety.
The Tai Chi was fun, and Michael stayed to have breakfast
with us, but then he needed to do some chores around the house before going to
the Inn; and I kept busy helping Mom until Alicia came over. I spent the rest of the morning working in
the office; and then Rowen came over to have lunch with us before we went to
the salon for our annual back-to-school hair appointments. Neither of us went with anything more radical
than trimming our bangs and evening up the length; but we had a lot of fun
catching up on the latest news around the salon; hearing all of Liz’s latest
pregnancy stories; and letting her style our hair with braids and curls before
we needed to meet up with Michael and Tim at the school while Michael was on
his afternoon break.
They were impressed with Liz’s efforts; though that didn’t
really distract them from the football action they were following avidly now
that our first game of the season was just two days away – and with the bonus
of being at home too! Did that sound
excited enough to you? ;^)
Rowen and I were able to talk them into going for a swim
before Michael needed to be back at the Inn;
and we took Ethan and Ehlana with us for that micro blast of fun. Tim went back to the spot he’d apparently
staked out for the week on the school bleachers when Michael left for the Inn; and that’s when Rowen and I went for our trail
ride. One good thing about football
season is that there are a lot less guys out on the trail; and Rowen and I
could really let loose on the jumps with nobody around to watch us.
No, we did not use Magi power; but I’d seriously love to try
that sometime!
Moving along, Rowen went on to the computer store after
going for another swim with me when we’d had enough fun on the trails; and it
was a Mom-ordered study night for me; so I didn’t see any of my friends tonight. I helped make dinner; we ate as soon as Dad
got home; and then he went to work in the office while Mom did Magi lessons
with Ethan, Ehlana, and me. I came up to
my room when Mom and Dad were ready to do the bedtime routine with the twins;
and combined my archive studying with some quality Jacuzzi time. I didn’t have any work to do tonight; so all
I had left to get done after climbing into bed with Mandy was my usual nightly
computer checks. That didn’t take long,
because there were only two emails to read and answer, and now that I’ve pretty
much finished with this update; I’m ready to get an early start to my nightly
nap.
We have our last riding lesson of the summer in the morning,
and a big baseball practice tomorrow evening to get ready for the championship
game on Saturday; so that extra rest is going to come in handy.
Until next time, this is Magi Master Cassie Proctor; logging
out!
