This has been a fairly quiet day, right from when we started
out with Tai Chi by the river until now.
Rowen and I both worked this morning; though I needed to
wrap up early and head over to the clinic for my back-to-school check-up with
Dr. Mark. Yes, that was a completely
pointless visit from the perspective of my personal health, but Uncle Mark
appreciated all of the quiet help he was getting this week; and I do still need
to keep up appearances. From what I
heard while in the waiting room, I’d say our doctor integration efforts were
right on track.
I ended up having lunch with Rowen and her parents at the
computer store when I stopped in to get her on my way home; and that was mostly
because Patricia wanted to hear all about my day in the city with Michael and
his family. With Michael back to work
today, Rowen and I spent most of the afternoon taking it easy and playing with
Ethan and Ehlana. Our only trip away
from the house was to meet up with Michael while he was on his break. We picked up treats at the Emporium; played
at the school playground; and went for a swim back at home before leaving Ethan
and Ehlana with Alicia and taking our time walking back to the Inn when Michael
needed to go back to work.
After getting home from that little walk, Rowen and I were
drafted to help out with making dinner.
Mom was doing an easy-dinner night, so that work – and the clean-up
after we ate – didn’t really take that long.
When Mom and Dad needed to get changed for their ball practice, Rowen
and I took the twins over to the park early while Violet went over to help out
at Dillon’s house even though he was working at the Inn. With all of that effort, they must be
planning a great party for their college-bound teens!
We didn’t watch a lot of the Fix-it Uppers’ practice
tonight, but from what I did see, they were having a pretty good work-out. Maybe they were motivated with their next
game just two days away. With just two
games left in the season and only one win in their first four games; they may
be feeling the urge to win too – especially since they’re technically not out
of the running for a spot in the championship game yet even if they are in last
place. Since they’ll need more than a
little luck in addition to winning both of their last two games, though, I
won’t get too excited just yet.
Michael met up with us at the park as the practice was
wrapping up, and came home with us.
Rowen tried to escape then, but I bribed her with Olde Bakery bedtime
snacks to get her to stay. The three of
us did the snack and story time with Ethan and Ehlana in the office so that Mom
and Dad could both get to work on their computers. We tucked them in for the night too, and then
came upstairs to my room for a guitar lesson.
Rowen played on my school computer while Michael and I were practicing,
and then we went for a swim before they both headed home for the night and I
came back upstairs for the night.
There’s nothing newsworthy to report from my nightly
computing, and I’m going to manage another comparatively early bedtime tonight. With riding lessons and baseball practice
tomorrow, Rowen and I don’t have anything major planned for the afternoon, but
it’s going to be a busy weekend; so the extra down time is probably a good
idea.
Until next time, this is Magi Master Cassie Proctor; logging
out!
