Happy 70th Birthday, Grandpa!
Our morning chat with him – and Grandma – was fun, and
though we didn’t get to spend the day with him; I’m sure they’re enjoying their
weekend off in India.
They definitely had more fun sightseeing during their
‘today’ compared to our work day around the house; but the highlights of my day
were getting our Sunday night plans worked out with Rowen and our friends and
having a couple of hours of alone time with Michael after he was done work for
the day – after Ethan and Ehlana were tucked in for the night.
The second part of that might have something to do with why
I’m happily tired out and ready to get some sleep tonight instead of wide awake
and needing to burn off some excess energy as I did last night. I’d be okay with feeling like this every
night at bedtime, but then I probably wouldn’t get much of my work or studies
done; so it’s probably a good thing that Michael and I don’t get to have as
much of that kind of play time as we’d like.
With our girls’ night set up for tomorrow night, there’s a
good chance that alone time with Michael will be out for the rest of the
weekend anyway; but I’m ready for some fun with my girlfriends; and Dad and
Ethan are going to have a house full of girls here tomorrow night – though
they’re likely going to hang out with Uncle Adam and Zack after dinner while
were doing our makeovers with Mom, Aunt Leanne, and Liz. I’ll let you know how that turns out with my
next journal update.
I skipped mentioning that the sleepover plans meant a bit of
extra housework for me to get guest bedrooms ready; but that was easy enough –
especially with a little Magi-powered assistance from Ethan and Ehlana that
made that part of our day as much play time as work. The only break I took today other than meals
was while Michael was on his afternoon break from the Inn;
and we spent that time playing with the twins.
Dad did most of his weekend homework this afternoon so that he can take
most of Sunday and Monday off to have some fun with us; but we were all
finished with our work by dinnertime.
That gave us time to play for a while; have another chat
with Grandma and Grandpa while they got ready for his continuing birthday
celebration that he insisted needed to continue until midnight our time; and
watch a show on television before Michael came over from the Inn. We did the bedtime story and snack with Ethan
and Ehlana and tucked them into their beds before coming up to the lounge to
not watch a movie while we played.
I don’t want to get too graphic about that and freak out any
parents with tweens that might be reading this in the future; but our archives
don’t have much information about tween and teen relationships – and basically
none from a girl’s perspective – so I’ll keep writing about our developing
relationship to help out with that.
As I’ve mentioned before, being able to use our telepathy
and empathy makes a really big difference when it comes to intimacy. Yes, we still have plenty of awkward moments
as we learn and explore; but we also don’t have any communications
problems. I should mention that this
requires a lot of trust and love from both of us; and might not be possible for
many Magi couples – teens or adults.
Sharing empathically, in particular, is very intimate, and while I
wouldn’t exactly say that Michael or I have a scary dark side to our most
private thoughts and feelings, we are human; and being completely open with
each other isn’t always easy.
It is always worth it, though, so think about giving it a
try if you haven’t done so before – and it’s an option for you.
I won’t go into the details about the physical side of our
relationship; but do have a few general comments. There’s always girl chat going on at school
about boys and relationships, and while Rowen and I don’t ever talk about the
intimate parts of our relationships with Michael and Tim with anyone except
each other; some of the girls talk about their sex lives in great detail. I mention that because some guys may be
oblivious to that fact; and because those chats give me some basis for
comparison.
Let’s just say that Michael and I are happy with the
physical part of our relationship, and while Dad will probably still be glad
not to know the details even as he reads this in the future some day; our level
of intimacy is middle-of-the-road normal; without any of the wilder adventures
that I’ve heard about around school – sometimes literally. I’m sorry if that’s disappointing, Aunt
Leanne, but then Michael and I do have some advantages that other kids don’t;
and telepathy and empathy aren’t the only talents available to us to play with.
;^)
That’s not something I want to write about tonight, though,
and it’s time for me to wrap this up and get some sleep. Michael and I finished not watching the movie
by a bit after eleven; continued to play until eleven-thirty; and then we had a
little chat with Mom and Dad in the living room before Michael went home and
the rest of us came upstairs to our rooms.
I’ve only done the basic computer and email checks tonight, though Rowen
and I had a micro chat when she came online long enough to compare notes on our
alone time with boyfriends evening; and update me on her end of the girls’
night plans for tomorrow. Other than the
play time with Michael, this has mostly been a fairly quiet day; but things are
bound to be livelier tomorrow night; so I’m going to get started on that sleep
time now so I’ll be ready for the fun.
Live long and prosper, fellow Magi of the Light!
