We’ve had a fun day, but it’s also really late again; so
this is going to be a micro-update.
The morning routine was pretty much back to normal weekday
Tai Chi, breakfast, and getting ready for work, school, and play time at KidZone. Michael was home for breakfast with his
family, and off to school early for weight training; so a new normal for Rowen
and me will be meeting both of our boys at school instead of walking there with
Michael.
I loved getting back to our music class this morning. It wasn’t even until we started warming up
and playing that I realized how little I’d played my saxophone over the
holidays. Michael and I will need to get
back to regular practices; though we didn’t do that tonight. While music was my favorite class, the rest
of the day was pretty good too; and so was our study session at the computer
store.
Michael and I were home in time to help out with dinner; and
we got to catch up on what Violet and Dillon had been doing all day along with
the usual KidZone and parent daily recaps.
Violet and Dillon couldn’t talk about everything they did while hanging
out with Mom; but I knew they did at least one Magi lesson while Ethan and
Ehlana were at KidZone; and Violet did some family business work with Mom too.
I don’t have anything specific to report from the rest of
our evening. Dinner was good, and so was
having the play time with Violet and Dillon.
That’ll be the last chance we have for that without a crowd around to
share them with before they head back; so I’m really glad that we got to have
this time with them. We played some
games, watched some television, and had a group chat with Grandma and Grandpa;
did an extended bedtime story and snack time with the twins; and wrapped up the
night with a bit of teen and parent time in the office while Dad finished his
homework.
Dillon’s here tonight, but Michael went home by ten o’clock;
so I was able to get started on my bedtime studies and nightly computing a bit
earlier than usual. That really only
ended up allowing me to get more work done instead of finishing up early; and
it’s after three o’clock again. Tomorrow
will be the first school week ‘work day’ of the New Year for Rowen, Michael,
Tim, and me for our part-time jobs, and I don’t expect to see Michael tomorrow
night; so maybe I’ll just put in the extra hours early and see if I can start
having one early night a week.
We’ll see how that goes, but for now; it’s time to pack up
my computer and head off to sleep.
Live long and prosper, fellow Magi of the Light!
