The extra rest last night helped a lot today, but I’m still
shooting for another early bedtime so I’ll be ready for the weekend fun; and
this will be another mini-update.
It’s been a fairly quiet day, and at least part of the reason
for that is because of the plunge back toward freezing winter
temperatures. That transition always
seems uncomfortable when it happens quickly; though we never have a problem
when the temperature soars in the other direction – or when the drop is from
extreme hot to air conditioning in the summer.
There’s a chance of snow this weekend, and I really love white
Christmases; so I’ll get used to the cold and hope for the best.
Then again, I might have a different opinion about that
after the parade tomorrow night; but hoping won’t change the fact that it is
going to be below freezing; and we’ll be sitting in cold chairs on a flatbed
trailer while holding and playing cold metal musical instruments. Nobody in the band was thinking about that
during our practice on Tuesday when we had such a nice weather afternoon; but
I’m probably not the only teen thinking about it now – or almost teen in my
case. That seems strange too – being the
only non-teen in the band now that Michael and Rowen have both hit the ‘teen’
milestone.
Anyway, there wasn’t anything newsworthy from around school;
and I’ve had the usual Thursday night routine of studying at the Inn; working
the dinner rush with Michael and his family; and game night. Michael and I had fun with all of that. Miranda had some fun with Rowen and Tim for
their first study session at the Inn as a couple; the work in the kitchen after
they left was fairly easy because there just weren’t very many customers after
the much busier than usual Tuesday breakfast and dinner. The trip on Saturday probably affected that
too, but from what Miranda told me tonight; they’re going to be really busy for
the next two weeks with extra Christmas party bookings for both lunches and
dinners.
Michael and I weren’t in any danger of winning the junior
championship tonight, but Rowen and Tim were fired up; and they managed to come
in second place this week. While I
really do like to win, getting to spend that time playing with Michael, Ethan, and
Ehlana was all fun; and I’m learning to appreciate how Jacob feels about just
playing for fun. I enjoyed staying to
help with the clean-up so that Michael and I could walk home together and share
a fairly lengthy goodnight kiss too.
I still made it home in time to say goodnight to Ethan and
Ehlana when they were tucked in for the night.
Mom did a Magi lesson with me after that while Dad worked in the office;
and then I came up to my room about an hour ago to get started on some Jacuzzi
and nightly computing multi-tasking.
That wouldn’t have been enough time for a nice long soak and getting my
hair dried; but I cheated just a bit with a touch or two of time-phasing. Mandy and I are tucked into bed now; we’re in
normal time; and she’s already asleep. I’m
ready to join her, and don’t have anything else to report tonight; so that’s it
for now. Until next time...
...Live long and prosper, fellow Magi of the Light!
