It’s been yet another cold day here, but at least the sun
was out; and it’s supposed to start warming up again tomorrow.
I don’t really have much news today; so we’ll keep this
short. It was a normal morning at home;
a settle-in day at school now that the holiday gossip has been covered; and we
stayed indoors at lunchtime again. Band
practice after school was fun, but uneventful; and our study session at the
computer store was short and sweet because Tim had actually been bored enough
while waiting for us to get some of his work out of the way.
Michael came home with me for dinner; and we’ve had a fairly
quiet evening around here. Mom did a
Magi lesson with us after Michael and I finished doing the dishes; and then we
played with Ethan and Ehlana until their bedtime. Michael helped me to tuck them in for the
night, but then he went home so that I could get started on my studies and
work. I’d have rather had him stay for a
little quality alone time; but he seems to think that I’m working too hard and
needs to do something to help me out with that – even if he’d have rather been
enjoying a little make-out time too.
Does anyone reading this want to hazard a guess as to how
many thirteen-year old boys would even think along those lines, let alone have
the self-control to actually do something like that? Oh, and trust me, I was not helping to make
that decision easier for him tonight.
This is one more reason for me to be sure that I’ve done pretty well in
the boyfriend department, and why I love Michael – even when he’s being too
nice and considerate for our own good.
His choice did make it possible for me to get started on my
studies, and with a bit of frustrated energy to burn off; I finished everything
except my bedtime computer checks and this update by shortly after eleven. It’s still just coming up on eleven-thirty
now, so I’ll be off to sleep a bit ahead of schedule too; though that just has
me wishing Michael had stayed and we’d used that extra time more effectively.
Okay, enough of that; or I won’t get to sleep for quite a
while. Tomorrow is an after-school work
day, so I don’t expect much excitement around here until game night on Thursday
– especially here at home while Mom and Dad are busy with work too; and the
twins will continue writing their first semester finals. I don’t have to worry about any tests over
the next couple of days, but thinking about them does work to make me sleepy;
so I think I’ll try and head off to dream land now.
Live long and prosper, fellow Magi of the Light!
