It’s not really that late yet compared to
the rest of the week, but I’m going to keep this update very short and take
advantage of the chance for some extra sleep.
The rain moved in overnight, and has been
coming down off and on all day along with the occasional thunderstorm rolling
through. That kept us indoors for Tai
Chi, at lunchtime, and after school. It
was a quiet day there because of that; and we only had a short study session at
the Inn after school without any extra members of the group because we were all
busy with work or helping out to get ready for the holiday weekend.
We finally ran out of luck for baseball
practice, and got rained out tonight, but instead of going to game night at the
Inn; I stayed at home to keep the cooking going in the kitchen and sent Mom to
the Inn instead so that Miranda wouldn’t be disappointed. With Dad away, she always looks at these
weeks as her only chances to win game night championships; and I wouldn’t dream
of taking that away from her just because Mom had work to do at home. Violet and Dillon were at the Inn too, and
though Jake and Stephanie were there as well; all four teens had mostly gone
for a chance to visit with friends and neighbors they didn’t get to hang out
with regularly.
Ethan and Ehlana opted to stay at home with
me instead of going out in the rain and hanging out at the Inn. If that had something to do with Seeing ahead of time that Michael was going to skip
game night too and come over to our house, and they felt the need to chaperone
us; they didn’t say. We all had fun
together, though; and even had a little Magi play time while I worked in the
kitchen and switched two sets of dishes in and out of the oven while Mom was
out.
We waited until Mom got home to do the
bedtime story and snack; but Ethan and Ehlana had finished with their baths by
then; and Michael stayed until after they were tucked in for the night. I kind of wish that he was here and tucking
me in right now; but I digress. ;^)
Mom did my Magi lesson with me after
Michael went home; and then we both went to bed too – since we’d multi-tasked
that lesson with the kitchen cleanup.
How many Magi ways can you scrub pots and pans?
We both hopped into our Jacuzzis after
that, since doing that probably won’t happen for either of us while we have
guests this weekend. I did the rest of
my nightly computer checks while doing that; so this is all I had left to get
done after climbing into bed with Mandy.
Being asleep before midnight feels more like a novel idea than normal
lately; but I’m ready to give it my best effort right now; so, until next time…
…Live long and prosper, fellow Magi of the
Light!
