I’m sure that it’s no surprise that our
morning was a bit of a mad rush of activity pretty much from the time that we
finished Tai Chi until we got to church and could have a nap during the sermon.
Just kidding, Pastor John – I napped during
Sunday school! ;^)
Okay, I didn’t do that either, and we had
fun this morning too even with all of the work; but that did set the tone for a
very long day that had more work than play in it. Before I get to that, though; let’s cover the
family cousin vacation news first.
I haven’t mentioned Jonathan and Jenny in
days, and that’s mostly because they’ve been entertaining themselves and not
hanging out with us. That seems a bit
strange, but not as strange as saying goodbye was – and including Jenny in that
when they left after lunch. She’s
spending a week with Jonathan and his family while Christina and Josiah are
taking a week off to spend with them too before wrapping up their summer here
and then heading back to school. I hope
that they all have a good week, and while I can’t exactly picture Jenny fitting
into the Johnson-McEwan family picture; she’ll likely have as much fun with
Jonathan’s older sisters as she’s had with Christina around here.
Getting back to the local news, Uncle Adam
and Aunt Leanne hosted that going away lunch at their house; I spent a few
hours playing with Ethan, Ehlana, Naomi, Aiden, and Sophia; and then I went to
help out at the Inn during the buffets with Michael after he was finished his
afternoon break. The play and swim time
was great, and I had fun at the Inn tonight too; but it was again a lot of work
too. Doing all of that on a couple of
hours of sleep managed to run down my batteries pretty thoroughly, so other
than having a wind-down drink and cuddle with Michael at his house after we
were done for the night; I was ready to come home and get to bed.
Some Jacuzzi time was in order first to
avoid offending my cat after hours of hot, sweaty work in the kitchen, but that
did help to relax me – to the point where I’d started to nod off a couple of
times before finishing up; getting ready for bed; and snuggling in with Mandy
and my computer. I kept the bedtime
computing to a minimum because I’m too tired to focus on any important work
anyway. I’m going to wrap this up now
too and get started on some quality sleep time.
Other than football training and our Thursday night camping, we don’t
really have anything important going on this week so far; but that’s okay with
me – maybe Michael and I will find a bit more alone time here and there.
For right now, all I’m really interested in
is getting some sleep and recharging; so that’s all I have for tonight.
Until next time...
...Live long and prosper, fellow Magi of
the Light!
