Michael met me outside for Tai Chi; and we ended up doing
that on our own in Rowen’s back yard when we didn’t see any signs of life next
door at Uncle Adam and Aunt Leanne’s. I
found out later that Ethan and Ehlana let them sleep in because they sensed
that Aunt Leanne was especially tired when they all went to bed last night.
That was a quiet, fun start to the day, but then Michael
went home to get ready for school while the quiet ended for Rowen and me about
a minute after Patrick and Scott launched into their morning gags and pranks
routine. They were on a roll with that
through until we got to school and they needed to go hang out with their
buddies. Rowen had hit her little
brother and sidekick limit by then; and is seriously considering never having
another sleepover at her house ever. She’ll
get over that as she has every other time she’s said that; but I did like the
idea of moving the sleepovers at her house over to a room at the Inn. I just
seriously doubt that the parents will go for that – even if Michael could swing
a family discount for us.
Wednesday always seem to be longer than other days for a lot
of people; and I guess it was for me too today because there wasn’t much going
on at school to break up the classwork.
Having a dull, cloudy day that turned decidedly wet tonight didn’t
exactly cheer anyone up either; so I was ready to escape by the time we were
set free after Phys-Ed class ended this afternoon. Our homework session was at Landry’s again,
and that was a fun break; but then we all moved on to our part-time jobs once
we finished our assignments.
I went to work in the office after getting home, and Mom,
Ethan, and Ehlana joined me there so that we could catch up on what we’d all
been doing since Mom had left for Crystal
Springs yesterday. Her lunchtime recap with Aunt Leanne was
probably way more graphic than ours, and we were all okay with that. My brother, sister, and I do not need to know
some of the details of those five-star parental sleepovers. We did enjoy hearing about how Angela, Terry,
and Valerie are doing; and the best news for us is that we’re going to the
Malloy’s house a week from Saturday to help Valerie celebrate her first
birthday. I can hardly wait to see them
again!
The rest of our night was busy but quiet. I worked in the office until we stopped for a
slightly late dinner; Mom and I did the clean-up together; and then we did a
round of Magi lessons. I helped to teach
one to Ethan and Ehlana, and then Mom did one with me while the twins did a bit
of their Grade Twelve homework. We did a
bedtime phone chat and story time with Dad, and then dunked Ethan and Ehlana in
the tub before putting them to bed for the night. It was time for Mom and I to spend some
quality time with our Jacuzzis after that; and I started my language studies
while in the tub before moving on to my archive work once I was in bed with
Mandy.
I still managed to put four hours of work in tonight even
though it’s only going on a quarter after one.
Working a bit longer was an option, but I’ll be having a late night
tomorrow and decided not to do that.
I’ll use that extra down time to dream about what isn’t happening with
Michael and me in real life instead.
Listen to me going there yet again – and we girls think that
boys have a one-track mind!
Our parents might be happy to hear that there is absolutely
nothing going on in that department with us right now, and having some make-out
time with Michael really isn’t the only thing on my mind; but it could be if we
don’t get around to having some couples-only time soon.
I’d better not think about that too much more right now; put
my computer away; and get some sleep.
Live long and prosper, fellow Magi of the Light!
