It’ll likely be another week or two before
my schedule starts to settle down into a routine, but one thing that I’m sure
of already is that I’m going to need to make some adjustments; or I’ll
eventually burn out on a regular basis.
Then again, maybe I could use that to my
advantage and have more sofa sleepovers with Michael without getting into
trouble with our parents. ;^)
Before I get side-tracked thinking happy
thoughts like that; let’s keep going with the update. We’ve had another hot, beautiful day; and
that started out great with Michael joining us both for Tai Chi and breakfast
again before going home to get ready for school. It definitely started to feel like a ‘normal’
school day now that we were doing our first schedule repeat; so there really
isn’t much to report from the actual class work. We had the usual lunch break with football
scrimmage entertainment, and Rowen and I sat with some of the other
cheerleaders and our collective group of girlfriends.
I have to tell you that we’re both finding
that a bit strange being at the center of the group instead of on the
edges. Vanessa and Nora aren’t liking
that at all, but we’re trying to keep that change as low-key as possible; and some
of our friends are enjoying the hang-out time with the most popular older
girls. We’re getting the hottest gossip
around school first too; though I’m not going to write about any of that
tonight – I’m really tired and don’t want to go there right now.
That’s why I’m going to speed this up a bit
too so that I can call it a night and get what nap time I can before needing to
be up and going again in a few hours. We
had a good afternoon; our cheerleading and football practices were both light
again as they will be every day before a game; and then I went on to the Inn
ahead of Michael so that I could help out in the kitchen for a while before we
had dinner and a study session with Rebecca before moving on to help out again
and get the dining room ready for the first game night of the school year. Mom and Dad brought Ethan and Ehlana to the
Inn for the gaming; and Michael and I had the twins with us most of the evening
while we played games. Our families
didn’t bring home either of the championships this week, but we did have a lot
of fun; and then Michael and I were set free so that I could walk him home and
do our goodnight hugs and kisses without the entire family watching on.
I went on to my house with Mom, Dad, and
the twins when they caught up with us and we finished with more rounds of
goodnight best wishes with the Stones and Carringtons. Rowen wasn’t with them, but I did exchange
waves and smiles with her while she was still out on her front porch with Tim
after they’d taken a longer route home than Michael and I had. We had some girl chat time on our computers
after I came up to my room too; but I was busy for a while before getting to
that.
My first job was to help Mom with Ethan and
Ehlana while Dad got to work in the office; and then she did a long Healing
lesson with me before sending me upstairs for the night. I’ve been doing my studying, family business
work, and nightly computer checks since then, and without really having any
work days available now; I really am going to need to put the extra time in at
the end of every day to keep up with everything. Now I just need to figure out how to juggle
my schedule on just a few hours of sleep a night.
That isn’t something I want to deal with
working out right now either, and since there isn’t anything earth-shaking to
report from my work or language studies tonight; I’m just going to turn this
computer off and get started on my nap.
Until next time...
...May the Magi Force be with you!
