Yesterday’s update is coming to you this morning because I
fell asleep last night while watching our second movie in the lounge – while
cuddling with Michael. He thought it was
cute, and he advised me that Rowen and Tim thought it was funny. So did Mom, Dad, Ethan, and Ehlana; and I’m
glad that I could entertain everyone.
Waking up on the sofa in the lounge this morning felt
strange, and despite the jokes; I was still in the same clothes I fell asleep
wearing – not that the thought of having Michael help me get changed isn’t
interesting. Maybe we’ll try that out
sometime. ;^)
This update is about yesterday, though; so let’s get to
that. The morning routine was fairly
uneventful; though that could partly be because I was a bit tired then
too. Our first school-day Friday of the
year was a Day One schedule; so that wasn’t quite as much fun as starting the
day with music would have been. I love
our Spanish class too; but that isn’t as much fun when pretty much everyone
else in the class except our teacher isn’t particularly enthusiastic about the
subject.
Ending the afternoon with Phys-Ed is good, though, and being
set free for the weekend usually has everyone at school happy. Michael, Tim, and Rowen came home with me;
though we split up so that they could all check in with parental units
first. We did our homework; and then had
time to play with Ethan and Ehlana before getting put to work. Michael and I were in the kitchen, and Rowen
and Tim were in the lounge to get it ready for the movies part of our dinner
and a movie night.
I won’t mention that it took them a very long time to do
that – especially since they took everything Mom had picked up with them in one
trip – and only needed to re-stock the fridge.
Testing the sofa for comfort, or any other ‘work’ excuse they might use
doesn’t change the fact that even my brother and sister knew what they were
really doing.
We had a fairly large gang over for dinner; which is why
movie night was in the lounge for kids and teens, and in the living room for
the adults. Violet and Dillon were with
us for dinner and the first movie, though they mostly talked with Mom, Dad, and
the rest of the adults during dinner while Ethan and Ehlana helped to keep my
friends and I entertained. I’ve skipped
over some details there; but I’m doing this while getting ready for Gretchen’s
party; and need to hurry up a bit.
Dinner was surf and turf with a lot of choices, so the work
took a while; but the food was awesome.
While we – the younger teens – didn’t get much time to spend with Violet
and Dillon during dinner or the clean-up; they watched the first movie with us
in the lounge so we had that couple of hours with them. Ethan and Ehlana had them exclusively for
their bedtime routine during our movie intermission; and then Michael, Rowen,
Tim, and I were part of the hugs and kisses committee when it was time for them
to head out – along with the rest of our guests.
Violet and Dillon weren’t going straight to his house, but
they stayed there overnight after stopping in for a visit with Jake and
Stephanie. It’s probably tougher for
Jake and Dillon to be so far apart from each other after being best friends
pretty much their entire lives; but Violet and Stephanie have become best
friends in exactly the same way Mom and Aunt Leanne did when we first moved
here, and they miss each other too.
That’ll be tough while they’re all at college; but I’m sure that they’re
all also glad to know that they’ll be living here in Witch Falls
after that.
I don’t remember much after the start of our second movie;
so I must have fallen asleep fairly early on.
Michael did tell me that they watched the rest of the movie before I was
tucked in for the night: Mom and Dad saw him – and Rowen and Tim – out; and he
headed home for a little late night visit with his brother and Stephanie before
going to bed. The good news with that is
I’m fully-charged and ready for our day in Crystal Springs
– and maybe for some Michael and me time tonight after we get home again. This is another day where he’s missing a
shift at the Inn, but I’ll make that up to
Miranda and Jacob by helping out at the buffet tomorrow to thank them.
For now, though, I really need to finish getting ready for
Gretchen’s party, so...
...Live long and prosper, fellow Magi of the Light!
