It’s been another long, busy day; and I’ve
worked late to get ready for taking most of the weekend off for football and
the Haunted Halloween Walk.
We’ve had some rain off and on today, and
we were indoors for Tai Chi; but only because it was damp outside at the
time. Michael stayed for breakfast, and
then we both needed to rush a bit to get ready for school and meet up with
Rowen and Rebecca. The rainy walk there
wasn’t all that exciting, and I’d say that pretty much describes our school day
too. Even our indoor cheerleading
practice at lunchtime was a bit subdued; though Jenny’s getting fired up about
her fifteenth birthday tomorrow. She seems
to have very high expectations for what Lance will do to impress her tomorrow,
but I have no idea how he’ll pull that off when we’ll be at an away football
game and won’t be back until late – as in might not even catch the tail-end of
the school dance tomorrow night kind of late.
The fun part of my day started after school
when I went to the Inn with Rebecca while Michael was busy with his football
practice. It wasn’t raining by then, but
the guys still got pretty wet because the field was still soaked when they went
out to play. I was happy to stay dry; do
my homework with Rebecca; and then help out with the minor dinner rush. There really wasn’t a lot of business
tonight, and that was mostly because people around town are probably saving up
for the extra meals out this weekend and next.
With Halloween on a Friday night this year; there’s a good chance that
Miranda and Jacob will have a full house in the dining room with all of the
country parents going there to eat while the kids go out trick-or-treating.
Michael skipped helping with the kitchen
work tonight and did his homework after his practice. Rebecca and I had dinner with him after that,
and once the clean-up was in full swing; we all went out into the dining room
to help with the set-up for game night.
We had a small turn-out for the gaming tonight too; which had a lot to
do with why Michael and I won another junior championship. Uncle Adam and Aunt Leanne won the senior
title for the week; but only a few of us know why Aunt Leanne was so fired up
tonight.
That’s going to be fun when the news hits
the grapevine sometime next week!
The rest of my night has pretty much been a
rinse and repeat from most Thursdays after game night; though I did help with
the dining room clean-up before walking home with Michael and his family and
doing the goodnight hugs and kisses with all of them before coming home. Mom did my Magi lesson before Ethan and
Ehlana went to bed because they wanted to do some of their college homework
first; we both took care of getting them tucked in for the night with some
bonus story time from Dad while he took a work break; and then I came up to my room
and got started on my language studies.
That was more than three and a half hours ago, so I’m again running out
of steam fast; but at least I will be able to take the weekend off now except
for dealing with any work-related email that comes up between now and Sunday
night.
I guess that’s it for tonight, but feel
free to flip to the next digital page, dear future Magi reader; since the next
couple or three days are probably going to be very interesting with everything
we have going on around here! I’ll have
to wait to see it all happen, though, and need to get started on my nap to be
ready for all of that action; so, until next time...
...May the Magi Force be with you!
