It was nice while it lasted, but we’re back to freezing
temperatures again tonight – though not the deep freeze of the now-infamous
‘polar vortex’. I haven’t commented on
that round of media idiocy; but then pretty much the entire mainstream news
system is nothing more than info-tainment now anyway, so why bother?
This is going to be a fairly short report tonight, partly
because of certain gaps in the information Mom passed on from her sleepover in
the city; and also because there just wasn’t much going on today other than
school and work.
I loved exercising with Uncle Adam and Aunt Leanne this
morning; but missed having Michael, Mom, and the twins there too. Uncle Adam cooked up a great breakfast, so
that was a bonus; and so was the morning long-distance chat with Grandma and
Grandpa. There’s probably a good reason
why they decided to call us instead of Mom and Dad in their hotel room; but
let’s not go there. I was still ready to
go to school early even after some extra hair-play time with Aunt Leanne. That gave me enough time to meet up with
Rowen and drop my overnight bag off at home on our way to school; and we were
there ten minutes before Michael and Tim met up with us after their weight
training workout.
There really isn’t any news to write about from school –
just a standard, middle-of-the-week day.
Our after-school study session was at Tim’s house, but we just got to
the work and finished it so that we could all get to our part-time jobs – and I
could get home and do the overnight update with Mom, Ethan, and Ehlana. The twins had lots to tell me about Naomi’s
party, their sleepovers, and everything they did today; but Mom had almost
nothing to tell me – other than that she and Dad went out to dinner with the
Malloys.
Having that lack of detail is mostly a good thing, but this
time my adorable little brother and sister were sporting the ‘we know something
you don’t know’ grins; so it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to guess that some
birthday shopping might have been going on yesterday too. They might be more excited about my upcoming
and impending jump into the teens than I am right now; but I’m sure I’ll catch
up eventually – especially since it’ll be my first with a boyfriend.
Our little chat was entertaining, but then it was mostly all
work after that except for our dinner break.
Even Ethan and Ehlana were busy with their college studies tonight while
Mom and I both worked on the family business.
I worked at that until Mom was ready to do my Magi lesson; we did the
full bath and bed routine with the twins after that; and I’ve been
multi-tasking my bedtime studies and computing with some Jacuzzi time since
then. There isn’t anything newsworthy to
report from any of that, and it’s time for me to get out of the tub and finish
getting ready for bed; so I’m going to wrap this up and get on with that.
Until next time...
...Live long and prosper, fellow Magi of the Light!
