Exams are over, so I’m back to ‘normal’
school-night work and studying – and that’s why I’m exhausted and writing this
in the wee hours of Monday morning.
We started the day out with a fairly normal
Sunday morning. I also don’t have much
news to report from between Tai Chi and the end of the church service and
Sunday school. It was a fairly quiet
morning, and other than having some fun hearing about Lisa’s birthday adventure
in Crystal Springs when we first went to Sunday school; it was comparatively
quiet at the church today.
That might have had something to do with
the cooler, dull-weather day we had today – and also why the Inn was especially
busy for both the lunch and the two buffet sittings. It’s also the last Sunday in January; though
I don’t think that necessarily had anything to do with it. The busy did mean that I wanted to help out –
and Michael, Rebecca, and I were there for the lunch and dinner rushes with
just one major afternoon break to go along with a couple of shorter ones that
we fit in as best we could around all of the busy. Jenny joined us for the buffet shift too, so
Rebecca and I got to hear a lot about her weekend play time with Lance; but the
rest of the afternoon and evening was not particularly newsworthy either – and I
definitely don’t need to report some of the details of Jenny’s girl chat here
in my journal.
My back to normal started after I got home
from the Inn tonight. I didn’t stay
until close, and Michael and Rebecca were sent home when I left too; so I
walked back with them and did the goodnight hugs and kisses with Michael on his
front porch. That didn’t take long since
it was cold out, but we were tired by then; and okay with keeping it short and
sweet. I’d missed out on a work and
study day at home while I was busy, and Ethan and Ehlana were tired out by then
and just waiting up to see me; so I started my evening adventure out with
helping them to get ready for bed and having a chat with them before tucking
them in for the night.
I followed that up with my Magi lesson with
Mom; two hours of language studies; one hour of reading fun for my archive
assignment; and a bit more than two hours of family business work that would
have been closer to six or eight if not at Magi speed. The more than six hours I have spent on my
studies and work, including the Magi lesson, was more than enough for me; and that
blast of action added to the hours of hot work in the kitchen at the Inn is why
I’m ready to crash and nap right now.
Instead of dragging this out, I’m just
going to go and do that; so, until next time...
...May the Magi Force be with you!
